Recognising and working with emergent language in the ESOL
classroom
Richard Gallen (Tower Hamlets College)
This talk focuses on classroom research which attempted to capture what
went on when student conversations and anecdotes took lessons ‘off plan’.
Transcript extracts and audio clips will be used to suggest ways we can
apply the evidence from this research to help us work more effectively with
language that emerges in the less-predictable parts of a lesson.
Talk English: from CELTA to volunteer ESOL in South Africa
Julie Douglas
In 2005, two CELTA graduates gave free lessons to their refugee teaching
practice students. As numbers grew, more teachers became involved,
offering free English lessons at three levels, and a medical and children’s
group. Lessons focused on student-led functional English, with ESOL
Nexus adapted for the South African context. This session describes some
project challenges and how they were resolved.
