From whiteboards to Web 2.0<br />
Daniel Martin (Helbling Languages)<br />
Contemplate these classroom realities: having an interactive whiteboard<br />
(or a computer and projector), internet, internet-connecting devices and<br />
pen and paper. Come and test some classroom activities from my new<br />
book, From Whiteboards to Web 2.0, that combine the use of some or all of<br />
these physical tools together with Web 2.0 tools: Twitter, Google, digital<br />
noticeboards and pronouncing dictionaries.<br />
Developing readable English-medium textbooks in Rwanda<br />
John Clegg (University of Bristol)<br />
Primary 4 learners in Rwanda, in year 1 of English-medium education,<br />
have very little English and cannot read their subject textbooks because<br />
they are designed for native speakers. This presentation discusses the<br />
features of textbooks which are readable by low-ability L2 learners and<br />
describes a project which trains textbook writers to design them.<br />

Grammar: deixis - pointing this way and that<br />
Paul Davis (Pilgrims<br />
Pilgrims)<br />
Learners make loads of mistakes with the basic guts of English - this, that,<br />
the, a, one, some, any. These little pointing words are (mis)used every time<br />
they speak or write. I'll offer some practical exercises to deal with this<br />
early on or to 're-teach' at higher levels. An experiential workshop,<br />
although brief reference will be made to research and corpus data.<br />
