Matsuyama JALT:

Pair Discussions: Contextualizing Communication

Date: Sunday, June 13th, 2004 Time: 2:15 PM - 4:15 PM

Speaker: Barry Mateer, Tamagawa University, Department of Liberal Arts

Description:
The likely challenges of managing learning include empowering learners to participate and to interact in English. This presentation considers Pair Discussion-based courses in which textbooks are replaced by handouts created from students' ideas on various topics. These handouts provide students with the language needed for expressing those ideas. Teacher-fronted activities focusing on strategies empower learners to initiate and sustain enjoyable discussions; these strategies include seeking and providing needed language, clarifying and elaborating ideas, and negotiating complexities of face to face interaction.
