Much English language teaching focuses on grammar at the level of the sentence, and many students have little awareness of how to use language at the level of discourse.
This workshop will examine some common vocabulary and grammar points from the point of view of discourse. The presenter will introduce language activities that help raise students’ awareness of the importance of discourse in shaping language output, and creating coherent stretches of language, with the focus on spoken, interactive language.
The activities, will include such items as question formation, reported speech, present perfect questions of experience, and are adaptable to a variety of levels and classroom situations.
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.
