Do you struggle with curriculum choices in conversation classes? Do you have a hard time motivating low level students to talk? Is it difficult to make your classes enjoyable while still teaching the content that will be tested? Then this workshop just might be for you. These are some of the questions that will be discussed and hopefully solved during this interactive presentation.

  • What is the role of the textbook in my class?
  • How is the curriculum designed in your language program? How can it be improved?
  • How do I incorporate other skills in conversation classes?
  • How do I come up with ideas/activities that will interest my students?
