will be in Fall 2010.
KEYNOTE
Jayme Adelson-Goldstein Jayme's a well-known author and teacher-trainer--not to mention, fantastic presenter--who has several books published
through Oxford University Press. She presented on the following topics:  More than ‘WH’: The Art of Asking Questions in the ESL Classroom
Explore a variety of instructional
questioning
strategies that take learners from comprehension to production.
Work with “leveled questions”
for multilevel
settings, and contrast focusing and processing questions
to create questions that engage learners’
higher-level thinking.
Finally, try out three learner-centered practice activities
to examine how we can best build
learners’ question-asking skills.
Mastering the Madness of the Multilevel Classroom
In this workshop, you will discover, practice, and
apply the instructional strategies
that address the challenges of the multilevel environment:
• building
class community;
• linking level objectives;
• using different groups and activities to match students’
diverse needs.
