Fair Trade Campus Week is taking place from Monday, October 28 to Friday, November 1. To recognize and celebrate Humber's status as a Fair Trade Campus, the Office of Sustainability is running multiple events throughout the week.

Small-scale farmers and workers need to earn enough income for a decent standard of living, so they can do the things we do like take their kids to school, eat healthy meals, afford decent housing and save for retirement.

Often times TESL trained teachers go overseas and find themselves in front of a classroom of young children with no experience of how to teach them.

This four-hour workshop on teaching young children in the ESL/EFL classroom will provide participants with practical strategies that can be used in an English language classroom full of young learners whether in Canada or overseas. 

Participants will learn classroom management strategies and reward systems and how to create a supportive learning environment and activities that can be used with young learners. Participants will also have the opportunity to learn how the activities and materials used in adult learning language classes can be adapted for young children.

For more information, dates, and registration visit here.
