Event

Two presentations: (1) A Holistic Approach to Oral Communication (2) A Case for Freewriting

Sunday, April 15th, 2001, 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Paul Shimizu, Intercom Press (www.intercompress.com)

The first presentation by Shimizu illustrates usage of information gaps, listening with peer review, surveys and "Find someone who..." types of activities. Participants experience activities which make the learning process fun and meaningful. In the second, Shimuzu discusses how freewriting allows students to express themselves freely. By focussing on expressing ideas, students develop social skills and confidence to share their ideas and opinions.
