Alma Publishing is holding its annual Autumn Workshop online this Friday evening, Nov 21, with two presentations, starting from 7:30 pm:
Bruno Vannieu, Alma Publishing (19:30 – 20:15)
Getting Japanese Students to Speak Up
Registered participants of the Autumn Workshop will receive free access to the Udemy course Getting Your Students to Speak in the Japanese Classroom (normally ¥3600). This 70-minute course, featuring real classroom footage, presents a practical framework for energizing any Japanese EFL classroom—regardless of students’ initial motivation or class size. In the workshop, we’ll look at several key strategies from the course. Ideally, participants will have viewed the course beforehand, so we can dive straight into discussion.
Stephen Richmond, Bukkyo University (20:15 – 21:00)
Eliminating “dead time” in the classroom – Techniques for keeping as many students on task for as long as humanly possible
In speaking classes, we want to make some time to interact with students one-on-one, whether that is giving conversation tests, listening to their oral production, or giving direct feedback. But what do other students do while teachers are working with individuals or pairs? In this workshop, we’ll go over a few simple ideas to keep our students focused and on task during those times.
