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.
