Format: Face-to-Face and Online
Duration: 2-hour Workshop
The main goal of a language class is to help students feel comfortable using a foreign language. To achieve confidence and success both inside and outside the classroom, language learners need skills in three key areas:
- Social and Interpersonal Domain: This includes the language used to build and maintain personal relationships. For example, students should understand what a friend says in a casual conversation or be able to read a personal email from a friend or teacher.
- Navigational Domain: This covers language tasks where students communicate with peers, teachers, and school staff about school and course-related materials. For instance, students should understand a teacher’s instructions for a homework assignment and be able to extract key information from school announcements.
- Academic Domain: This involves language activities performed while learning academic content in English. Examples include understanding ideas in an academic lecture and comprehending written academic texts suitable for the students’ age and level.
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn practical methods and activities to enhance your students’ language skills in these three domains, which you can directly apply in your classroom.
