Programme

Day 1, November 2, 2018

09:30-10:00 Participants registration and welcome coffee

10:00-11:30 Session 1: Teaching Vocabulary

We’ll be looking at how best to go through answers to vocabulary exercises, the problems with pre-teaching and why meaning is only a small part of the problem. We’ll explore how to explain, exemplify and expand. We’ll look at why some questions are better than others and we’ll consider how to help students shoulder the burden of memory.

11:30-12:00 Coffee-break

12:00-13:00 Workshop 1: a live Advanced-level language class based on Session 1. The study and practice of vocabulary.

13:30-15:00 Lunch time

15:00-16:30 Session 2: Teaching Grammar

In the afternoon session, we’ll look at how to avoid death by grammar lecture, why shorter is (sometimes) better, how to correct in a way that avoids digging holes, and what we do when going through grammar exercises. We’ll workshop ways we can go deeper into what we get in the grammar sections in our books and we’ll also be considering how teaching vocabulary better leads to better grammar outcomes too.

16:30-17:00 Coffee-break

17:00-18:00 Workshop 2: a live Advanced-level language class based on  Session 2. The study and practice of some grammar.

Day 2, November 3, 2018

10:00-11:30 Session 3: Teaching Listening

Today we think about how hearing problems can make listening more difficult for learners – and explore different ways we can help students hear better. We look at how we can use the usual structure of a listening lesson in a way that focuses more on the actual language contained within the texts – and we explore the links between pronunciation and listening better.

15:00-16:30 Session 4: Teaching Speaking

In the afternoon session, we’ll look at what we can do to help students get better at speaking – apart from just giving them opportunities to speak. We’ll discuss why some kinds of speaking go further than others, why working from what our students try to say means more grammar, not less – and what we can do as teachers before, during and after student speaking slots.
