Presentation: Making the Most of Pen and Paper Writing in the Classroom

This fall semester, I have taken advantage of my in-class writing instruction portfolio that has developed over the past eight years. From Day 1, while referencing Dweck’s Growth Mindset, I do my...

DCC 2022 Online Workshop Series: Roger Fusselman

Presenter: Roger Fusselman
Date and Time: Thursday, May 26th, 8pm - 9pm
Presentation:  Teaching Improv to EFL College Students Online

Abstract: 
Improvisational theater (a.k.a. improv) is not easily teachable in an online real-time format. It is a highly physical skill, one that is culturally alien to many Korean college students, and it is difficult to assess and grade at a university. These are even bigger problems when students cannot meet you in person in a classroom. How can such problems be solved? How can these lessons be adaptable to other courses that...

Registration: https://forms.gle/t3u89JJ7ADVnk99r8

Abstract

Are you a 21st Century teacher? A few years ago, the idea of 21st Century skills hit the ELT scene and it caused quite a stir. Some educators loved the idea of transforming the traditional ELT classroom into an oasis of modern learning. Others scoffed at the idea: how could 21st Century skills be any different to those in 1999? That stir has long lost its motion and now it is widely accepted that...
