The English Language Fellow Program is the premiere opportunity for highly qualified TESOL professionals to enact meaningful and sustainable changes in the way that English is taught abroad. Through projects developed by U.S. Embassies in more than 80 developing countries, Fellows work directly with local teachers, students, and educational professionals to enhance the quality of English language instruction offered at universities and other academic institutions.

9:15-10:00- More Communication, Please: Listening and Speaking

Although most teachers are familiar with the concept of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), they may or may not actually be carrying out their lessons in a communicative way. This workshop will briefly review the core concepts of CLT and their importance in the language classroom. Through several interactive activities, including double-gap song fill and partner vocabulary review, participants will leave with tangible ways of making their listening and speaking lessons more communicative in nature.

In addition, the participants will take part in a literature circle to gain a full understanding of the process and benefits.

This workshop will build upon what was learned in the ‘More Communication, Please: Listening and Speaking' workshop by briefly reviewing core concepts of CLT and applying them. While the emphasis will be on listening and speaking activities, integration of all four skills will also be discussed. Participants will have a chance to try picture description activities as well as running dictation. These activities will be a springboard for making reading and writing activities more interactive and meaningful.
