Length: 40 minutes

The English Bucket List is a tool to get your students engaging with real-world English outside the classroom, and improving their reading, listening, speaking and writing skills in the process.
The Bucket List is a yearlong individual student project that was developed as part of second-year university course, but it could easily be adapted for secondary school students.
This presentation will look at how to help students write their Bucket List and then how to monitor and assess their progress on the different goals they have set themselves.
This presentation will explain how the Bucket List tool works and allow time for questions and discussion.
