Designing Effective Conversation Classes – a webinar by Chase Anthony Brame
Dear Colleagues,
IATEFL Poland and Chase Anthony Brame, English Language Fellow through the U.S. Department of State’s English language Programs,
have the pleasure to invite you to the webinar
“Designing Effective Conversation Classes”
Summary
This session invites participants to consider how English conversation classes can be designed to be more effective and engaging for English Language Learners. Through this session, participants will become familiarized with potentially useful methodologies and techniques to get students talking. Equally important, we will seek to understand and discuss the pedagogical rationale for using these techniques. Last, we will explore the budding subject of translanguaging and reveal how teachers and students who share a first language can leverage their common linguistic knowledge to enhance students’ proficiency in the target language. This session is intended to be highly practical, with the goal for participants to leave with a ready-to-go set of tools that can be immediately used in English conversation classes.
