“Out of Your Seats” by Anette Igel.
This session will feature a conversation with Anette Igel, co-author (with James Thomas) of Out of Your Seats. The book offers a rich collection of hands-on, movement-based activities for language learning, suitable for learners of all ages and proficiency levels. During the event, we’ll explore how physical movement can be used to energise the classroom and bring language, music, poetry, and drama to life in engaging and inclusive ways.
The event is free to attend, and certificates will be issued to IATEFL members following the session. Register here.
