Hamamatsu JALT:

Using Video Materials to Facilitate Students' Creative Thinking and Improve Their English Skills

Date: Saturday, January 21st, 2012 Time: 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM

Speaker: Bogden Pavily

Description:
The presenter will discuss the ways to facilitate students' creative thinking and improve their English skills with the help of some video material (short clips from the Internet). It is always difficult to engage students in any language learning situation if they consider the activities too difficult, dull, or unrealistic. Some practical ideas will be presented on how to make our lessons more interesting to learners with poor command of English. One of the methods of motivating such students is to give them reasonable tasks in English, while allowing them to communicate using their native language during the activity. The primary goal of each activity is to help students feel relaxed and enjoy their English lessons. It should also be said that if we want our students to enjoy the activities, we have to enjoy them ourselves.
