Developing a Conversational Syllabus

Sunday, June 17th, 2001, 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Josh Kurzweil, Kansai University

The presenter will show how by adopting a "test-teach-test" approach in speaking classes, teachers can create a student-centered environment which focuses on real communicative needs. Kurzweil will give examples of how language study, skills practice, and conversation strategies arise directly from gaps that teachers observe in student interactions.
