LMCS<br />

Storytelling and improvising: creativity at play<br />

David Heathfield (INTO University of Exeter & DELTA Publishing)<br />

Improvised storytelling and drama in the classroom prepare students for<br />

dealing playfully with the unexpected when using English in any situation.<br />

This workshop offers you practical techniques involving students doing<br />

drama improvisation based on clues before being told a folktale; and then<br />

doing an improvised retelling afterwards. Improvisation generates positive<br />

energy and enables students to explore situations from different<br />

perspectives.<br />

Workshop<br />

EAP, ESP<br />

Tools, tips and tasks for developing materials writing skills<br />

John Hughes<br />

Teacher training courses rarely include a component on how to write ELT<br />

materials and yet it is a crucial skill. So in this practical workshop, I'll<br />

share some of the activities I use for training and mentoring teachers to<br />

develop and fine-tune their materials writing skills. All welcome, from<br />

novice writers to published authors.<br />

The difference is academic: developing elementary EAP students’<br />

academic language<br />

Edward de Chazal (E M de Chazal Consulting Limited)<br />

This workshop examines characteristics of academic language and<br />

identifies what elementary students starting their EAP journey can<br />

realistically learn. This language involves a shift from more general items,<br />

like verb tenses, to the academic language of essential elements, such as<br />

definitions. Using material from the new Oxford EAP A2/Elementary<br />

coursebook, such language provides a principled foundation for more<br />

advanced study.<br />
