ABSTRACT
One big goal of education is to have students "practice what you teach." Keeping students practicing and talking in English is a big concern for many teachers. William Schmidt will share some ideas of the communicative approach including basic syllabus design. He will also share some of his own surefire activities, including some from his "grab bag."  In this workshop, teachers can participate in these activities, deciding how beneficial they are for their own students.
