Yokohama JALT:

Making a Small-class Atmosphere in Big University Classes

Date: Sunday, May 14th, 2006 Time: 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Theron Muller

Description:
There's a barrier that holds many big university classes back: a large-class atmosphere. This presentation will demonstrate how large classes can be broken down into smaller groups, and how within those groups communication can thrive and prosper. Beyond organization factors, the presenter introduces the incorporation of tasks that break the mold of "one lesson, one unit in the book."

Theron Muller is co-owner of Noah Learning Center, a small English conversation school in Nagano City. He also teaches at Nagano Seisen Junior College and Nagano National College of Technology. He holds an MA in TEFL/TESL from the University of Birmingham, UK.
