Based on his Masters study with Monash University, Matthew will start by outlining some of the key differing theories in SLA. As each of the SLA theories is introduced, it will be immediately followed up by a discussion on how it can be applied in a classroom, and difficulties that might be encountered.
Matthew Jenkins has university teaching experience, runs an English school with his wife, and teaches both junior high school and elementary school children.
In this workshop, the presenter will demonstrate how portfolio assessment plays an integral part in his communicative English courses at a Japanese women's university. Participants will experience tasks and activities that will enable them to successfully develop their own grading rubrics, coordinate peer assessment, and learn why shared accountability improves language acquisition based on interactional theories of language.
Creating portfolios provide students with the chance to learn the skills of reflection, self-evaluation, critical thinking and independent learning. Portfolios can be used in a variety of teaching situations to promote student generated experiential learning.
Steve Quasha teaches at Sugiyama Jogakuen University, Nagoya
