TYPE OF EVENT: Free
Webinar
SUMMARY
Teachers routinely adapt, supplement and develop materials. How do we know whether an adapted or developed materials are principled and effective in line with learning theories? Is there a way to ensure SLA validity of our practice? I’d like to suggest making use of a materials development framework which is designed in accordance with language learning theories. In my experience of research, international textbook projects, materials and teacher development, a Text-Driven Task-Based (TDTB) material development framework has been yielding some positive evidence in empirical studies.

Webinar
SUMMARY
This webinar reimagines pronunciation
teaching in the age of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). We may need to move
beyond the pursuit of a "perfect" accent, prioritizing clear and
effective communication for a global audience, considering learners coming from
different backgrounds. While some activities, like minimal pairs, might be
familiar (Derwing & Munro, 2005), we'll explore how to use them to foster
peer feedback and celebrate diverse accents within an ELF framework, aligning
with the need for more inclusive pronunciation practices. The session
introduces the "CLEAR" framework, guiding teachers to prioritize
Communication, Listening Exposure, Engaging Activities, Assessment for
Progress, and a Respectful Environment - fostering a supportive space where
learners feel empowered to practice and achieve fluency.
The session also presents research conducted
in an Intensive English Program, findings, and further recommendations for better
practice. Finally, the session emphasizes the importance of recognizing and
valuing diverse accents in English as a lingua franca, promoting mutual
understanding and respect among speakers of different first languages
