Authentic Context and Real Language
Are you and your students fed up with the trivia of many ELT coursebooks? This workshop will offer a discussion on the state of coursebooks and the triviality of many resources available to students and teachers of English. The workshop will present materials which start with non-trivia content in mind and which are written from the perspective of integrating language learning with the content curriculum. Tasks will include scaffolding for guiding the processing of language input as well as frames to support the production of language through speaking and writing. Participants will themselves also be asked to develop language support materials which are at the core of Content and Language Integrated Learning. Finally, colleagues will discuss the implications of integrating content with language for their own classroom practice. |
