Tuesday, November 12th, 2002, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Speaker: John Fanselow, International Pacific College, New Zealand

What is "boinguage?" How is "boinguage" different from standard/correct English? How is "boinguage" different from Japlish? How is "boinguage" different from non-standard/ incorrect English? How can knowing "boinguage" help teachers know what to correct? During the workshop, teachers will learn "boinguage." By understanding "boinguage," both teachers and students will be able to develop better listening skills. Come and be one of the few who will be able to experience "boinguage," and see how helpful "boinguage" can be in the learning and teaching of the English language. About the speaker: John F.
