In this hands-on, practical session, I’ll look at some of the principles I teach by, why I’ve come to these beliefs, and how they might apply to working with teaching material. Among other things, we’ll look at how to explain, exemplify and use students to expand upon examples of new language; how to encourage noticing; the central importance of remembering to language learning and how we can encourage it in class; approaches to correction; and ways of ensuring recycling.
Target group: young adults, adults
