Workshop
The first day's primary event was the workshop performance, led by lecturers from TBDU and MA TESOL students from USSH. Our team was in charge of the poster presentation. The research topic is "Teaching And Learning L2 Collocations: A Review Of Pedagogical Research."

Demo - Teaching
We took part in the practical teaching in an actual class in the morning. Our practice session was limited to 45 minutes in total. It meant that we all had a set amount of time to present our lesson parts. Even though we had practiced together many times previously, the time limits caused some rush. Fortunately, despite a few technical issues, we completed the micro-teaching session almost on time. Our task was to teach vocabulary, grammar, and listening skills for the lesson of Motivation and Goals.

Seminar
Two team members alternated for ten minutes, offering strategies to practice listening to English well. Before explaining the techniques for enhancing listening skills, including Top-Down & Bottom-Up Strategies, and Extensive Listening, we began by posing questions to ice-break and discover the students' areas of difficulty when listening to English. We also introduced helpful websites and authentic resources to help EFL learners advance their language skills as we wrapped up our 10-minute presentation.

Gala Dinner
This was the time that we could enjoy the cozy atmosphere together and take a quick look at what we did throughout this journey.
