Teachers for change: Uh! I don't understand...

Thursday, February 14th, 2002, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Speaker: John F. Fanselow

Often teachers meet with stunned silence from students when asking questions in the language classroom.The central goal of the workshop will be to introduce/practice/develop a range of activities which can teach students how to ask a wide range of questions. Knowing a range of questions to ask will help students move beyond muttering strange sounds and constantly acting helpless, as reflected in their constant expressions of lack of understanding. Come and experience some totally different activities to try in your English classes. Prof. Fanselow is President of International Pacific College, Palmerston North, New Zealand, and Professor Emeritus, Columbia University, Teachers College, New York, U.S.A.
