The "Why" and "How" of Student Presentations: Two Distinct Approaches more

Sat, Apr 30, 11:00-Tue, May 31, 23:55 Asia/Seoul

Presentations are essential in the real world, and developing presentation skills is fundamental in ELT. This workshop features two distinct approaches to presentations utilized by two colleagues from the same department, who both teach Communicative English. Despite having the same student numbers and departmental requirements, each presenter may capitalize on individual strengths to maximize pedagogical goals and student learning outcomes. Ultimately, their students have engaged with two highly different presentation formats: 1) individual with traditional presentation structure, and 2) group with the highly structured framework of PechaKucha. During this workshop, each co-presenter will briefly describe how student presentations are integrated into their lessons. Then attendees will break into small groups to discuss their experience with student presentations and consider potential applications of the methods explained. Ideally, attendees will leave the workshop with a clearer understanding of why and how they incorporate student presentations into their curriculum.
