Iwate-Aomori JALT:

How can we succeed in teaching English at Junior and Senior High Schools?

Date: Sunday, March 26th, 2006 Time: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Speaker: James Hall, Iwate University Faculty of Education

Description:
There is a consensus in second language acquisition that for students to learn a foreign language the following conditions must be met:

1) Learners should have plenty of exposure to the target language and the language that they hear should be comprehensible for their level of

proficiency

2) Learners need the opportunity to use the target language to communicate meaning and test their knowledge either by speaking or writing.

These conditions have not always been easy for me, the presenter, to meet at junior and senior high schools. On March 26, the presenter would like to tell you about some successes and failures in 1) getting junior and senior high school students to listen and to understand my English and 2) providing the right kind of classroom environment or language activities where students want to use the language. We will then have small and large group story exchanging activities where we can share with each other our successes and failures in getting our students to listen and understand our English as well as getting our students to speak.
