AMALIA

I am an adult educator and psychologist from Thessaloniki, Greece. Currently, I work at a Second Chance School (SCS), a Secondary Education unit for adults who have not completed compulsory education. My teaching philosophy involves person - centered approaches combined with experiential and teamwork methodologies. My aim is to promote autonomous learning through cooperative, discovery learning. As a group facilitator I provide discrete support to the learners, as I believe that "the less I talk, the more they learn!". Adult SCS students have a limited access to education and, consequently, the labour market. In addition, they are not familiar with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Hence, I try to "hide the vegetable" (that is, ICTs), in student - friendly and engaging activities based on their own interests and life experiences. In the forum I would like to share my ideas and experience from ICT - mediated student - created group projects in EFL
