Tokyo JALT:

Cooperative Learning Structures to Promote Language Acquisition

Date: Friday, March 23rd, 2012 Time: 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

Speaker: Spencer Kagan

Description:
Cooperative learning strategies called structures dramatically improve comprehensible input, frequency of language production, and a safe social environment. Participants experience a number of structures. Using RallyRobin, students take turns speaking to a partner. Using Timed Pair Share, in pairs each student speaks for an allotted time. Structures dramatically increase language output: In contrast to calling on students one at a time, using the structures language output is increased dramatically, accelerating language acquisition.
