Hiroshima JALT:

Part A: Actually Teaching Listening: The importance of script and of supra-segmental phonology. Part B: Teaching the Strategies of Speaking

Date: Sunday, September 2nd, 2007 Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Alastair Graham-Marr (Abax ELT Publishers)

Description:
Part A SYNOPSIS: This talk looks to examine how you can go beyond giving practice in listening and actually teach listening skills. Knowledge of script is something that can be taught that helps students with their top-down predictive skills. Teaching supra-segmental phonology helps students with their bottom-up decoding skills.

Part B: SYNOPSIS: We all use strategies when we speak: to confirm or clarify what we're saying and what we're hearing, to show interest, to maintain and develop conversations, to help with fluency, to compensate for language we don't have. Communication Spotlight is a new text that teaches students how to use these strategies.
