(Concurrent Session)
Tory Thorkelson, Hanyang University
Developing Successful CBI and ESP Courses
Abstract
The purpose of this presentation will be to show how the presenter went about proposing, researching, collecting /creating materials /workbooks for and teaching a number of successful CBI and ESP courses that he taught throughout the years at the University level. Many of these courses are still part of the university's curriculum although other Professors now teach some of them. Courses include Tourism English, Presentation Skills, Introduction to Acting, Multimedia Reading Skills, English Dramaturgy, Interviews, Debate/Discussion and "The Story of English". Sample materials will be available to look at for many of these courses and, time permitting, a Q&A session will follow.
