One-day seminar: Using the Internet
in English Language Teaching
This one-day seminar, held at our centre in
London (England), is aimed at classroom teachers who are interested
in learning how to use resources available on the Internet
in their language lessons or for professional self-development.
The seminar is very hands-on: participants
have access to computers and are guided through the process
of using the Internet to produce a variety of materials during
the course of the day. Participants are also guided through
a number of websites in order to familiarise themselves with
their content.
The seminar covers the following areas:
- Websites aimed at language teachers
Participants will be introduced to a number of websites
featuring ready-to-go lesson plans, crossword- and exercise-creation
programs, exercises that can be printed out and taken into
the classroom and more
- Websites aimed at language learners
Participants will evaluate a number of websites featuring
self-study materials and exercises for language learners.
By the end of the day participants will be able to make
recommendations to their learners as to which sites are
most appropriate for their level, language needs etc.
- Using e-mail in language teaching
We will discuss a number of ways in which teachers can use
e-mail with their students for follow-up activities. These
will include both teacher-student activities, as well as
student-student activities (e-mail role-plays, projects
etc)
- Using e-mail discussion groups
The concept of e-mail discussion groups - online communities
of individuals who share a common interest - will be introduced,
and we will practise using one. We will then discuss a variety
of ways in which teachers can set up and use a discussion
group with their group of language learners as well as how
learners can use them for authentic language practice. Participants
will also be introduced to a number of discussion groups
aimed at language teachers which they may like to use for
further development.
