Meeting the needs of English Creole-speaking students<br />

Yvonne Pratt-Johnson<br />

(St. John's University)<br />

Focusing on the example of U.S. students born in the English-speaking<br />

Caribbean, but with analogues and applications worldwide, this<br />

presentation explores some of the challenges typically faced by students<br />

whose native tongue is a non-standard variety of English. Instructional<br />

strategies and other practical recommendations are presented that can<br />

help teachers increase these students’ success in Standard English<br />

educational contexts.<br />

Ways to exploit authentic videos in EFL classes<br />

Muzeyyen Nazli Gungor (Gazi University, ELT Department, Ankara) &<br />

Mustafa Akin Gungor (Gazi University, School of Foreign Languages,<br />

Ankara)<br />

This practical session raises teachers' awareness on video-using<br />

techniques by demonstrating each of them separately. Authentic video<br />

clips from one of the greatest BBC comedy classics, Fawlty Towers, will be<br />

embedded in skill-based activities. Furthermore, teachers will be actively<br />

involved in developing ways in which authentic videos are used for different<br />

levels through face-to-face and social media.<br />

EAP, RES<br />

The dictogloss adapted for teaching phrases common in academic<br />

writing<br />

Seth Lindstromberg (Hilderstone College)<br />

Researchers have focused on the dictogloss as a means of developing<br />

students’ interlanguage (= grammar). They have neglected its potential for<br />

helping students notice, remember, and use multiword expressions.<br />

Recent trials in an EAP setting (designed by the speaker and carried out by<br />

another researcher, Rachel Connabeer) suggest that dictogloss has good<br />

potential in this regard, if adapted to include attention direction.<br />
