VIDEO Oxford Teaching Workshop Series, Sendai 2015
I really enjoyed presenting at the Sendai Oxford Teaching Workshop Series last Sunday. It was great to present on home ground, and we had a fantastic audience on the day.
My presentation was “Reading: the key 21st Century skill” and made the following points:
- reading is very important, and should be part of all language courses
- non-fiction is often neglected, but many learners prefer it and it is sometimes easier to understand
- OUP has a nice range of non-fiction readers
- how to include reading practice in your classes
- how to design an extensive reading program
You can see the full presentation below:
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments 🙂
I enjoyed the video. Thank you for all the information and your guidance to non-fiction books. They were very helpful. And also, thanks for mentioning my presentation at Yokohama, Nagoya and Osaka. The ‘Reading in the class’ page was wonderful. I didn’t know that you were such a great manga-artist!
Sorry to miss your presentation this year! I’m sure it went very well.
