Education is at its best when it sparks curiosity, invites participation, and creates lasting impact. This spirit came alive at the recent TESOL seminar in Fes, where over 130 teachers, trainers, and education enthusiasts gathered to explore new approaches to language teaching.
Dr. Lhoussine Qasserras and the Game Paper-Based Approach
The seminar was headlined by Dr. Lhoussine Qasserras, who led an engaging and interactive workshop on the Game Paper-Based Approach. Rooted in the idea that learning should be as enjoyable as it is effective, this approach transforms traditional classroom activities into playful, collaborative experiences.
Through hands-on demonstrations, participants discovered how simple, paper-based games can boost motivation, encourage teamwork, and make abstract concepts easier to grasp. The workshop wasn’t just theoretical—it was practical, dynamic, and highly interactive, allowing attendees to immediately apply what they were learning.
A Record-Breaking Turnout
One of the seminar’s biggest surprises was the overwhelming attendance, with more than 130 participants filling the venue. This turnout reflects the growing enthusiasm among Moroccan educators for innovative teaching strategies and professional development opportunities. Teachers from diverse backgrounds joined in, eager to exchange ideas and strengthen their classroom practices.
The lively discussions and collaborative energy created an atmosphere of shared growth, where everyone—from seasoned educators to aspiring teachers—felt empowered to contribute and learn.
Organizers Who Made It Possible
A special note of gratitude goes to the America TESOL Academy of Fes and ATLAS Interactif, the driving forces behind this successful event. Their commitment to promoting high-quality teacher training and professional development is evident in the seamless organization and the value-packed content of the seminar.
By providing a platform for thought leaders like Dr. Qasserras and creating spaces for collaboration, they continue to play a vital role in advancing English language teaching in Morocco.
Why It Matters
Workshops like this are more than just events—they are catalysts for change. They remind us that education is not static but constantly evolving, and that teachers need continuous opportunities to refresh their skills, discover new strategies, and stay motivated.
The success of this seminar demonstrates the power of community in education. When educators come together, share experiences, and experiment with new ideas, the ripple effect extends to classrooms, students, and entire learning ecosystems.
Looking Ahead
The Fes seminar is only the beginning. With such strong participation and positive feedback, TESOL Morocco, the American TESOL Academy of Fes, and ATLAS Interactif are set to continue building spaces where teachers can connect, learn, and inspire one another.
As Dr. Qasserras’s workshop showed, sometimes the most effective innovations are the simplest—like turning a sheet of paper into a game that opens the door to deeper understanding.
✨ Final thought: The TESOL seminar in Fes wasn’t just about learning new methods; it was about celebrating the passion, creativity, and dedication of educators who are shaping the future of English language teaching in Morocco.
