Cambridge ESOL
Exam Preparation: The Use of English Teacher's Task
Bob Obee |
|
This
talk
will explore issues and techniques in preparing candidates for the
grammar and vocabulary challenges of Paper 3 of the Cambridge
Advanced Exam. It will consider these challenges in relation to the
different dimensions of the exam preparation teacher's task:
integrating meaningful exam practice with language learning, raising
exam task awareness and training students in exam technique. |
|
|
|
To CLIL or not to
CLIL
Mary Spratt |
|
Increasingly schools across Europe are suggesting or adopting CLIL
as a way of teaching English. Many teachers must wonder what the
advantages and disadvantages are of taking up CLIL and leaving EFL
aside. This talk will seek to compare CLIL and EFL, discussing their
differing aims, syllabuses, methodologies, target language, contexts
of adoption and demands on teachers. It will also report on the
research available that focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of
the two approaches. The talk aims to provide teachers with an
impartial overview of the two approaches that will help them
consider their own position in relation to both. |

Spelling Myths and
Enchantments
Johanna Stirling |
|
Get
ready to challenge some myths and illusions of English spelling and
the way we teach it. Open your mind to new skills and arts that can
transform weak spellers of all ages into better spellers. Watch
boring mechanical practice go up in puffs of smoke as enchanting new
techniques and activities appear before our eyes. Motivating magic
that all teachers can perform! |
