How can stories that stretch, bend, and reinvent time help students learn English? This webinar explores innovative ways to use F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and H. G. Wells’ The Time Machine to teach sequencing, speculative grammar, and creative communication.
Through time-travel tasks, reverse-timeline activities, and world-building exercises, participants will discover how these narratives naturally support imagination, deeper reading skills, and meaningful language production. Teachers will leave with adaptable strategies for B1–B2 learners, ready-made classroom activities, and practical ideas for using literature to spark curiosity and higher-level thinking.
Durante il webinar verranno affrontati i seguenti temi:
- Using Unusual Timelines to Teach Sequencing
- Language Teaching Speculative Grammar Through “What If?” Scenarios
- World-Building as a Tool for Vocabulary Expansion
- Perspective Shifting and Creative Retellings
