TLT Training Workshops
Holding a TLT Training Workshop is an essential part of many conference TLT programs. 13 of the 24 TLT Workshops outlined in TLTs are available here for download.
It is our dream that TLT Instructors would create their own Activity-based workshop exercises and write their own up following this format so we could have collections of options for instructors to draw from. If you have created activity based workshops for TLT workshops that are missing, please contact us.
