OVERVIEW
Getting students engaged in meaningful conversation in English can be a challenge for teachers. This presentation will share how a flipped-learning approach can promote effective in-class discussions and learner autonomy. With the use of TED Talks and technology, learners can be provided with more opportunities to practice English with immediate feedback outside the classroom, so they can show up and take part in purposeful interaction in class.
In this webinar, we will discuss:
- the main factors that hinder oral production
- techniques to help learners overcome speaking difficulties and enhance oral language development
- concrete ideas for designing tasks for talks
