Unconventional Resources in
the EFL / ESL Classroom
3-5 pm Saturday February 18, 2012
Room 105 Injaeguan Center, Sookmyung Women's University
The principal objective of
this workshop is to encourage teachers to take a critical look at the resources
available to them to enhance English learning in the EFL or ESL classroom. In
particular the workshop will look at alternatives to what teachers would
consider to be conventional resources. In other words attendees will be asked
to “think
outside the box”. When we
look at the whole question of classroom resources. Plus, thinking through ways
that we can make our English lessons more interesting, and meaningful,
for our students.
This workshop will also be
very much activity based. Attendees will be expected to work in groups. The
groups will be expected to offer creative solutions to a set of questions posed
by the presenter. The workshop will aim to involve attendees in a lot of “doing’ and thinking” Consequently it will be
designed to elicit maximum teacher interaction, and sharing of ideas.
This workshop is also designed
to offer ideas that could be used at all levels of teaching. From young English
learners, through to university, and mature adult levels.
