Encouraging Holistic Communication in the Classroom

Sunday, October 7th, 2007, 2:15 PM - 4:20 PM

Speaker: Simon Capper, The Japanese Red Cross Hiroshima College of Nursing

Many language learners (and teachers) have a tendency to overly focus on linguistic features, at the expense of the paralinguistic and nonverbal aspects of communication. Similarly, language teaching materials often fail to acknowledge the importance of these crucial channels. This workshop will demonstrate materials and activities that raise awareness of these important features.
