7 декабря в 12 по Москве мы проведем последнюю в этом году методическую встречу. Она будет о том, как по-новому можно преподавать привычное. О том, что пришла пора поменять в преподавании. Я отобрала несколько последних исследований и статей (на английском), собрала основные идеи в презентацию. И все это мы обсудим на встрече. Честно скажу, анонс написала с помощью
jenni.ai. Но действительно очень точно обозначены все темы нашей встречи. Приходите! Участие стоит 3000. Я пришлю все статьи и запись встречи. Если хотите участвовать, не пишите, пожалуйста, в комментариях (на просторах тг много мошенников), а напишите мне в личные сообщения. Итак, анонс:
🌸 1) Beyond Grammar: The Art of Communicating with Nuance.
What we'll explore: How can we move beyond rote grammar rules to truly equip our students with authentic communicative competence? We'll dive into the subtle yet powerful world of pragmatics, specifically focusing on how to teach culturally appropriate expressions like apologies.
Intrigue: Discover how mastering the "unspoken rules" of language—from the appropriate use of "apologies" to deciphering the hidden meanings in "tag questions"—can transform our students into truly effective global communicators. Are we teaching our students to just speak English, or to truly connect in English?
🌸 2. Building Fluency with Chunks: The Power of Formulaic Language.
What we'll explore: Challenging the traditional grammar-first approach, we'll examine the pedagogical value of teaching formulaic sequences and collocations—the natural "chunks" of language that native speakers use effortlessly.
Intrigue: What if fluency isn't just about knowing words and grammar, but about mastering natural "chunks" of language? We'll uncover how focusing on formulaic sequences can unlock more natural speech.
🌸 3. Responsive Teaching: Revolutionizing Lesson Planning
What we'll explore: We'll critically evaluate traditional, outcomes-based lesson planning and introduce the concept of affordance-based lesson planning.
Intrigue: Are your lesson plans holding you back or propelling you forward? Let's rethink the very structure of our teaching. We'll challenge the conventional "outcomes-based" model and explore how an "affordance-based" approach can cultivate greater classroom responsiveness, turning every lesson into a dynamic learning opportunity.
🌸 4. Beyond "Aren't You?": Re-evaluating Canonical vs. Invariant Forms.
What we'll explore: Tag questions, with their "reverse polarity" and syntactic complexity, have long been a staple in ELT. But is our focus misplaced? We'll discuss evidence suggesting a decline in traditional "canonical" tag questions and a rise in "invariant" forms. How should this shift influence our teaching priorities and help students navigate the diverse landscape of contemporary English?
🌸5. The Subtle Art of Saying "No": Teaching Culturally Appropriate Refusals.
What we'll explore: innovative materials and activities designed to help students analyze and perform the "smaller speech acts" that constitute a complex invitation refusal. We'll discuss practical classroom approaches, including using illustrations, analyzing sample responses, and interactive exercises, to build this crucial skill systematically.
Intrigue: How often do our students struggle to say "no" politely, risking misunderstanding or offense? We'll uncover why teaching culturally appropriate ways to decline invitations is essential for genuine communication and how this can empower our learners in real-world social scenarios.
