Sohar to host forum on English language teaching tomorrow

A forum for teachers and supervisors will be organised by the Generaldirectorate of Education at Al Batinah North at Radisson Blue Sohar on Monday.

More than 20 papers focusing on teaching technologies will be presented at the annual forum titled ‘English language teaching and modern technology, strengthening connections’.

Suleiman bin Mohammed al Shizawi, Head of Organising Committee, said: “We will shed light on this important aspect as an effective means of communicating knowledge.

We dedicated this year’s forum to allow those schools that have applied some of these techniques in teaching to present their experiences, and also encourage teachers to look for new technologies and applications that contribute to enhancing the learning of students and help them diversify teaching methods.”

“In this way, we have achieved the overall objective of the forum, which is to create opportunities to exchange experiences and come up with new methods that contribute to improving the teaching of English.”

The forum is an annual educational event specialised in the field of teaching English, which seeks to create an environment for exchanging ideas and experiences, discussing research and studies, and presenting successful models of initiatives and field experiences in the field of education. It aims to build a broad base that includes different classes of educators, including teachers, trainers, supervisors and academics specialised in teaching English.

The forum seeks to create opportunities by informing teachers and other educators about the latest developments in research, experiences, teaching methods, methods and tools in the field of learning and teaching English.

Suleiman al Shizawi said a new electronic system will be introduced for the registration process this year.

Dr Hamdan bin Suleiman al Fazari, Pro-vice-chancellor at Sohar University, who got the forum sponsored by Sohar Aluminium Company, said: “We believe in the need to develop the community and meet its requirements as much as possible as the University of Sohar attaches great importance to the provision of community services and promote English language teaching and learning.

We are very keen to support initiatives that deal with education and scientific research and develop the educational process in all aspects.”
