Alastair Graham-Marr

We all use strategies when we speak: to confirm or clarify what we are saying and what we are hearing, to show interest, to maintain and develop conversations, to help with fluency, to compensate for language we don’t have. Alastair Graham-Marr, author of Communication Spotlight, a text that teaches students how to use these strategies, will ex-amine the whys of teaching strategies and look at the sort of strategies he argues should be taught. Alistair is a very well-known speaker in the TESOL community and his presentation is sure to be very inspiring. We will be going out for supper after the session, where you will be able to chat more with Alistair. All are welcome!
