Getting off that Intermediate Plateau;
Classroom Ideas
It all started with this great slide presentation which got many #ELTchatters thinking about themselves reaching a plateau; how they often feel stuck and need to find ways to get out of it, whether they feel stuck and unispired in their jobs, or following a course of study, such as a DELTA or MA and they have reached that dreaded stage!!!!
The Plateau Effect: Why People Get Stuck…and How to Break Through from ThePlateauEffect
Then this theme reminded us of Katy Davies’ presentation at IATEFL on the famous intermediate plateau.
Have a look at Katy’s prezi below and read Jo Sayer’s summary of her talk and Katy’s own blog post about it.
During this second #ELTchat, we hope to share ideas of how to approach teaching intermediate learners so we can get them off that intermediate plateau and help them become advanced learners!
