Is younger always better? The age debate in young learners<br />
Victoria Murphy (University of Oxford)<br />
The age of a learner is often considered a critical variable in determining<br />
L2 success. However, as discussed in the new book from OUP, Second<br />
Language Learning in the Early School Years, age is but one (and possibly<br />
least important) factor in shaping L2 learning. These factors, and their<br />
respective contribution to L2 learning in young learners, will be discussed.<br />

Whole class creativity in the L2 classroom<br />
Brian Tomlinson (Retired<br />
Retired)<br />
In this interactive workshop, I will provide and discuss justifications from<br />
learning theory and second language acquisition theory for fostering<br />
creativity in the L2 classroom and, in particular, for stimulating whole<br />
class creativity. I will demonstrate with the audience ways of stimulating<br />
whole class creativity and will invite evaluation and discussion of these<br />
activities.<br />

EAP, TD<br />
Classroom ‘pushing’ for meaning and learning<br />
Chris Heady (INTO Newcastle University)<br />
This workshop explores techniques and strategies to achieve more from<br />
classroom learning contexts. We'll cover how to manage student<br />
contributions in post-task stages and how to push student language to<br />
maximise learning. Although evidence- and research-based, the session<br />
will be mostly practical and will look at EFL and EAP contexts alike.<br />
