Nagasaki JALT:

Learning through Images and Actions

Date: Sunday, February 15th, 2004 Time: 1:30 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Paul Shimizu

Description:
Paul Shimizu has been teaching and developing educational materials for more than 30 years, 15 of them in Japan, and is the co-author of Marathon Mouth and Marathon Mouth Plus (Intercom Press). His students have ranged from kindergarten to university and beyond.
The presenter will take the participants through a variety of activities which elicit immediate non-verbal response from the students (OPR-Only Physical Response). These activities do not only require imperative language. He will then, using the same images, take us through a variety of student-centered group activities with the emphasis on verbal production, using only images and actions. There will be no reading. The focus of the presentation is response before production. All welcome!
