Writing materials for Content-based Language Classes

Sunday, October 31st, 2004, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Edward Rummel

This workshop is aimed at teachers, teacher educators and curriculum developers who are interested in content, text or genre-based material preparation and programming. A wide range of language proficiency levels in a first-year political science class necessitated the rewriting of the course syllabus to be learner-centered. Sample materials written as the language component of the class will be demonstrated as a model. Time allowing, participants will be given the opportunity to adapt authentic texts and create learner-centered activities appropriate to their own teaching contexts.
