Swipe, Tap, Learn: Teaching Generation Alpha in the ELT Classroom with Alex Warren
Gen Alpha learners are wired differently - literally. They’re digital natives with short attention spans, high visual literacy, and a preference for interactive, personalised learning. There is also a desire to learn more than just English. Using examples from National Geographic Learning’s Impact series, this session explores what defines Gen Alpha learners, why their characteristics demand a shift in ELT methodology, and how teachers can adapt to this change and help them become future-ready. Participants will leave with practical strategies to boost motivation, engagement and language retention, while aligning with Gen Alpha’s values, learning preferences and ensuring they have the skills they need to be future-ready.

More than Words: Building Effective Communicators with Alex Warren
What makes someone an effective communicator and how can we help learners become one? In this session we’ll explore how effective communication is underpinned by having a rich repertoire of language and how a lexical approach can help learners develop greater fluency, precision and confidence. Drawing on examples from National Geographic Learning’s Outcomes series, we’ll look at the benefits of teaching language in chunks and combinations before exploring practical ways to help learners notice and produce useful chunks of language, helping them become more confident communicators.
