Temple University Japan:

Teaching Listening and Speaking: Tasks for Oral Communication

Date: Saturday, February 8th, 2003 Time: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Patricia Porter, San Francisco State University

Description:
Most EFL teachers recognize the need for effective classroom activities to improve their students� oral communication skills, but they may be unsure about principles for designing and choosing such tasks. If you are such a teacher -- or if you just want new ideas for listening and speaking tasks -- then this hands-on seminar/workshop by Patricia Porter is what you need. She will focus primarily on listening for comprehension and speaking for fluency, though she will not totally ignore language accuracy.
