Professional Development Workshop 2 - Wednesday 16 February 6.30pm

We are pleased to announce our 2nd professional development workshop on Wednesday 16th March 2022 from 6.30pm to 8.00pm.

This interactive workshop by Zoom will be led by TLN member Julian Penney.

Julian will be presenting the method he created called Thinking in English®

This 90-minute session will be an introduction to a more formalised 3 X 2-hour training program to form an integral part of independents’ training obligations.

  • What is Thinking in English®?
  • Thinking in English® shows French students of English how to take a complementary approach other than translating the French in their minds directly into English. As we know, that doesn’t produce credible English; it produces French - but using English words.
  • Thinking in English® is based on accessing metaphors and on describing the physical world, avoiding concepts and notions. It looks pretty seriously at syntax on a comparative basis. It is Anglo-Saxon in essence, not Latinate.
  • The complete course Thinking in English® pour Formateurs will provide you with a set of original techniques to add to your own skills
  • You can see an additional description at  www.thinkinginenglish.fr
