Double Session: (1) Holidays and Festivals Around the World. (2) Let's Get Physical: Warm-Up Activities Involving Language and Movement

Sunday, October 31st, 2004, 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Steve Hakkarainen, Marc Helgesen

1. Holidays and Festivals Around the World
   This is a good time to use holidays and festivals not only as a tool to teach English but also to develop student's understanding of various cultures. It is a hands-on, fun project where students can share learned information in an organized way. This short presentation will give you the materials needed to carry out a one-month unit plan consisting of four 90-minute lessons.
2. Let's Get Physical: Warm-Up Activities Involving Language and Movement
   Why use warm-up activities that use both physical movement and language? Lots of reasons. They get everyone involved, make use of multiple sensory modalities, provide a break for classroom routine… and they are fun (and learners do more when they are engaged with the activity). This activity-based session will introduce a series of warm-up activities that involve language and movement. These are activities the presenter uses with university students.
