Extensive reading or intensive skills practice – Two sides of the same coin?
Miles Craven
The Mรธller Centre, Churchill College, University of Cambridge
Sponsor: Macmillan LanguageHouse
This workshop will serve as a forum to compare and contrast the merits of extensive reading and intensive reading as a basis on which to help our students develop their reading competence. Participants will work together to examine the two approaches and review their respective merits. Participants will then focus not on the tensions between extensive and intensive reading, but on their mutual strengths, and explore ways in which each approach can act as a complementary mirror to the other. There will be plenty of time to share common experiences and swap ideas on how to overcome the challenges that teaching reading presents. Finally, participants will draw up a list of key principles which can act as guidelines for teachers of reading classes.

A global view from your classroom window
Kristin Johannsen
Textbook author
Sponsor: Cengage Learning
Within the language classroom, cross-cultural communication is too often framed in terms of differences, a catalog of troublesome national quirks. Instead, true culture teaching explores both differences and similaritiesโthe fascinating diversity of cultures, and the common humanity that unites us. Such a perspective gives learners a window to understand the world, and a mirror to perceive themselves. This practical, hands-on workshop will present ways that teachers can bring cross-cultural learning and communication into their own classrooms. Participants will look at different views on cross-cultural communication and build their own definitions. Then they will take part in a number of classroom activities using language to investigate different cultures and build understanding. Such activities give students a sense that culture is a fascinating field to explore, and build studentsโ confidence in their own ability to have successful and enjoyable cross-cultural encounters.

Introducing corpora into the language classroom
Nicholas Groom
Centre for English Language Studies, University of Birmingham
Sponsor: David English House
Although electronic text corpora and the new discipline of corpus linguistics have had a profound impact on the design and content of second language dictionaries, grammars, and course books, very few teachers or learners are directly accessing corpora for themselves, either within or beyond the confines of the language classroom. This workshop begins by briefly considering why this is so, and why it matters, before tackling the central question of what can be done about it. Participants will try out a range of classroom activities whose aim is to convince learners of the value and viability of studying corpus data inductively and of the value and viability of learning how to use corpus software in order to access and manipulate such data. The aim of the workshop is thus to provide participants with both the inspiration and the practical means to introduce corpora successfully into their language classrooms.

Business English and TOEICยฎ: Similar goals, similar methodologies
Grant Trew
Author, Materials Developer, Editor, Testing and Evaluation Consultant
Sponsor: Oxford University Press
Although the TOEIC was specifically designed to assess workplace English ability, business English and TOEIC preparation have generally been seen as requiring different skills, and often dramatically different teaching methodologies.
In this workshop, the presenter will show how the goals of practical business English and effective TOEIC preparation classes are largely similar, and will demonstrate that the same interactive and communication-focused techniques can, and should be applied in both types of classes.

Building studentsโ confidence through simple, step-by-step activities
Angela Buckingham
Writer, teacher, and teacher trainer
Sponsor: Oxford University Press
In this day and age of frequent travel, an increasing number of people find it necessary to be able to communicate at least on a basic survival level in English. Japanese students are no exception, but they can often be reticent when it comes to speaking out in class. Together with the participants and through her own experiences of teaching beginner and false beginner level students, Angela Buckingham will examine why this might be so. Then, under the conference theme of The Teaching-Learning Dialogue: An Active Mirror, she and the participants will explore ways in which proven classroom activities and techniques provide students with the tools they need in order to participate in everyday situations using Englishโbe it at home, with a foreign home-stay student, or overseas on a business trip or holiday.
Angela Buckingham is a very experienced teacher, teacher trainer and materials developer in the field of EFL. Her areas of expertise particularly lie in English for Specific Purposes. Based largely on her experience as a teacher in Japan at a travel senmon gakko, Buckingham co-wrote the At Your Service (Oxford University Press) for students of travel and tourism, followed by the Japan-specific Passport series. She also co-wrote Get Real (Macmillan Language House). More recently, in 2009, she has just published the new second edition of Passport and the new third edition of Business Venture with Oxford University Press.
