Using Random Elements in the Language Classroom
Sunday, September 7th, 2008, 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Speaker: Roehl Sybing
Roehl Sybing emphasizes the importance of random chance in the language classroom, where language learners strive to transition from student-teacher interdependency to autonomous acquisition of a second or foreign language. Language teachers seeking ways to ease this transition will learn how tools such as a deck of cards or a pair of dice are not only beneficial, but essential as regular and permanent features in all classroom activities.
