The traning program featured the participation of Mr. Andrew Tiffany - Senior Training Specialist from National Geographic Learning with over 28 years of experience in teaching and teacher training across numerous countries worldwide.

The program consisted of two sessions: enhancing speaking skills through reading and grammar lessons” (for Primary teachers) and developing students’ writing skills using the new close-up B2/B2+ textbook” (for Secondary teachers)

During the primary session, Mr. Andrew emphasized the vital role of Reading and Grammar in the English curriculum. He guided teachers on how to maximize reading comprehension activities to help students express their thoughts in English, and how to transform grammar exercises into communicative opportunities, enabling students to apply language structures naturally in familiar contexts.

In the secondary session, Mr. Andrew addressed the challenges students often face with the Writing skill, which requires constant innovation and methodological updates from teachers. He introduced several effective techniques for teaching writing, as well as strategies to integrate Writing with Reading and Speaking, and to make the most of modern technology to enhance students’ writing performance.

The workshop also served as a vibrant platform for teachers to actively discuss, exchange ideas, and pose questions based on their real-world teaching experiences. Mr. Andrew expressed his admiration for the teachers’ creativity, deep understanding of student psychology, and openness to innovation, all of which reflect the professionalism and passion of Greenfield School’s teaching team.

Teachers enthusiastically exchange ideas during the training session.
