HomeSummer Workshop at Kusatsu: Activating Language Activities in the Classroom (day 2 of 2)
Sunday, August 25th, 2002, 9:00 AM - 2:30 PM
Speaker: Todd Jay Leonard, Hirosaki Gakuin University
Effective Use of Audio-Visual Materials: In today's communicative-based English language classes, teachers strive to include task-based, student-centered activities to enhance their instructional techniques. A very good way to augment communicative language teaching is to include videos in the classroom to visually demonstrate the language. In this presentation, Prof. Leonard will demonstrate a variety of techniques using videos to get the most out of the language class.
