Our students need to develop skills of different kinds, from language skills to life skills. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll consider what’s involved in breaking these skills down into teachable and learnable chunks and how specific task sequences work to develop these skills.

Things to do with Reading Text

Free workshop with Dr Peter Watkins

Wednesday, 6 August 2014

In association with Cambridge University Press

This workshop will begin by looking at the place of reading in a language programme and what teachers believe about the teaching of reading. We will then move on to look at a range of very practical classroom activities that aim to promote not only reading skills, but also develop the learners’ awareness of discourse and language. The activities will be analyzed and evaluated, allowing us to build theory from classroom practice. Such theorisation of practice is seen as being key to teachers’ professional development.
