Speaker: Takako Seito, Mark Brierley, and Theron Muller

Description:
In this afternoon meeting, three presenters will give short, practical workshops focusing on: the use of movies, the teaching of presentation skills, and the integratation of skills-based teaching into large classes.

Takako Seito, from Tokyo University of Science and Technology in Suwa, will be demonstrating how popular movies can be used to encourage interaction in large university classes.

Mark Brierley, from Shinshu University in Matsumoto, will show how presentation skills classes can be taught innovatively and be assessed by students themselves.

Theron Muller, from Seisen Jogakuin College in Nagano, will look at how large college classes can be broken down into smaller working groups and how skills-based tasks can be used to motivate them.

All workshops are especially suitable for those teachers working in colleges and universities.
