Sendai JALT:

Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace

Date: Sunday, April 28th, 2013 Time: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Andy Boon

Description:
Over 25 years ago, Dinsmore (1985) documented the phenomenon of silence in the Japanese EFL classroom. It can be argued that this problem still persists today. This presentation will introduce the audience to a number of strategies that can help break the silence and get students engaging in meaningful communication. Audience members will also be encouraged to share their ideas for getting students talking to one another in the L2.
