ERWC4: The Last Lecture
Went pretty well
I attended the Extensive Reading World Congress last week and gave my last presentation on teaching. Over sixty people were kind enough to attend the 2.5 hour workshop, and we had a very productive session.
The workshop was run PDR style, and we were able to cover four of the five topics I had prepared.
You can see the slides here, and the worksheets here. I think the content would be useful for someone thinking about starting or developing an ER program to work through.
Please feel free to post any questions or comments below.

The Last Lecture (well, workshop)
ER Program Design and Implementation
Extensive Reading World Congress, Toyo Gakuen, Tokyo
Friday August 4th, 15:30-18:00
At the beginning of next month I’ll be doing a pre-conference workshop at the Extensive Reading World Congress in Tokyo. This will be my last presentation on education.
The title is the same as the book I have been thinking about writing for the last few years. The content too. In a way, it’s the summary of the last ten years of my work as a teacher. I hope it comes together the way I would like it to. If it does it should be a pretty comprehensive introduction to all aspects of designing and running an extensive reading program at the institutional level.
It’s a workshop, so we’ll be doing work. I’m going to use the PDR (preparation, discussion, reaction) framework to structure the group discussions and will cover the following areas:
- Designing a Program
- Selling a Program
- Setting up a Program
- Running a Program
- Leaving a Program
If you come to the conference I hope you will consider spending a couple of hours with us on Friday. I can almost guarantee you will find it useful.
If you have any questions before the event feel free to post them in the comments below.
