Learning listening: the challenge of unscripted language<br />

Anne McDonald (Freelance<br />

Freelance)<br />

For learners schooled on a diet of scripted ELT listening material,<br />

authentic unscripted audio presents a daunting challenge. In this<br />

workshop, we’ll consider what the difficulties are and how we can help<br />

B1+/B2 level learners to overcome them. Suggestions will be illustrated<br />

with activities from Authentic Listening Resource Pack (Delta, 2015).<br />

Videocameras in the hands of learners<br />

Jamie Keddie (Freelance<br />

Video-recording devices can give extra depth and meaning to the activities,<br />

tasks and projects that students get involved with. In this workshop, I will<br />

show some good examples of videos created by students, both in and out of<br />

the classroom. We will discuss technical, practical and pedagogical issues<br />

along the way.<br />

Creative grammar<br />

Charles Robert Hadfield (University of Exeter, School of Education)<br />

This practical workshop is based on four fundamental tensions between<br />

‘grammar’ and ‘creativity’, using eight examples of commonly taught<br />

grammar points at different levels (beginner to advanced). A series of<br />

enjoyable whole class, small group, and individual activities shows how the<br />

underlying ‘contradiction’ between ‘grammar' and ‘creativity’ can be<br />

resolved in a positive way.<br />

Help yourself! Exploring self-motivating strategies with teenagers<br />

Edmund Dudley (Freelance<br />

Freelance, Hungary)<br />

When students have low levels of self-directed motivation, teachers tend to<br />

assume the mantle of would-be motivators. Such an approach can yield<br />

positive short-term results, but it does not help teenagers develop<br />

essential self-motivating strategies. Building students’ awareness of these<br />

strategies can help them take control of their own learning and provide the<br />

basis for engaging language-learning activities.<br />
