Teaching culture - teaching critical thinking<br />
Ivana Kirin & Marinko Uremovic (HUPE<br />
- Croatian Association of<br />
Teachers of English)<br />
School curricula call for students to be educated to understand the<br />
multicultural world around them. This workshop will try to give some<br />
examples of how to raise students' awareness of their own culture and<br />
how to help them appreciate diversity in the global world today. Teaching<br />
culture can offer activities that can help students develop their critical<br />
thinking skills.<br />

The pragmatics of successful business communication<br />
Chia Suan Chong (York Associates)<br />
Many Business English teachers often worry about their knowledge (or<br />
lack thereof) of the business world. But aren't we already well-equipped as<br />
language practitioners to understand the delicate and ever-so-interesting<br />
nature of discourse in business and how it differs amongst different speech<br />
communities? This workshop explains how we can use these instincts to<br />
help our clients become more successful communicators.<br />

A new way to teach reading<br />
Ken Lackman (Freelance<br />
Freelance)<br />
An approach to teaching reading that actually provides students with<br />
strategies to become better readers rather than just test their<br />
comprehension. This session will demonstrate a simple lesson framework<br />
which gives students practice with transferable strategies to improve<br />
comprehension and acquire vocabulary. Lessons are completely studentcentred<br />
and no preparation is required beyond finding a suitable text.<br />
