ABSTRACT
This practical one-hour workshop presents a bank of adaptable, high-impact activities inspired by the Conti method and grounded in Extensive Processing Instruction (EPI). Aligned with the MARSEARS sequence, the session focuses on modelling effective classroom practice rather than theory. Participants will experience six no-prep, go-to activities that prioritise listening, speaking, and structured repetition. All tasks are immediately transferable across contexts, helping teachers build confident, fluent learners while reducing planning time and increasing classroom engagement.
