With Gavin Dudeney Tuesday 11 October 2011

Royal Bath Hotel, Bath Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH1 2EW

This session examines how traditional views of literacy have changed as we advance into the digital age. We will discover what it means to be digitally literate, explore new types of literacy that have emerged alongside the advent of Web 2.0 and analyse why it is important to work with these literacies in our teaching. We will also look at how these literacies have been integrated into the classroom in a variety of global settings.

In 2003 Gavin Dudeney set up The Consultants-E with Nicky Hockly. Their CertICT course won a British Council ELTons award in 2007. Gavin’s publications include The Internet & The Language Classroom (CUP 2000, 2007) and How to Teach English with Technology (Longman 2007, with Nicky Hockly). His new book on digital literacies will be published in 2012. Who is this for?All EFL/ESOL teachers (newly qualified to experienced). Programme1830 – 1900 Welcome and refreshments1900 – 2000 Presentation and workshop2000 – 2030 Reception

Please note that there is no charge for attending this seminar, but places are limited.

Many secondary and primary teachers have some experience of helping students, often recent immigrants or whose parents are, who need help and assistance with their English, particularly vocabulary, reading and writing. This makes sense as they need to read and write to function effectively at school. However foreign students who come to Britain on short courses often have different priorities and want to focus on their speaking skills. Also they have often learnt about English grammar at school using terminology that is not usually used in British schools eg present perfect, 2nd conditional, phrasal verbs etc.

Cambridge CELTA or Trinity CertTESOL 4-week level 5 courses can provide you with an excellent foundation for teaching English as a foreign language even if you are a qualified MFL school teacher. They cover, amongst other things,  speaking skills, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and methodology.  Many universities, colleges and some language schools run these courses. They will be of even greater benefit to teachers who do not have a language background. 

CELTA courses are now available partly online. The blended courses combine online teaching and face-to-face teaching practice.

Business and Professional courses can be for any level but for lower level students there will, of course, be a need to learn the basics of general English as well.

When preparing to teach a Business and Professional course it is important to consider whether the student already has experience in a particular field. If they do, they are likely to have a more defined idea of what they need to learn, know the much of the key vocabulary and have knowledge of what is involved in their line of work. Most of our Business and Professional students fall into this group.

For a student who is aspiring to have a particular business or professional position, their knowledge of that area could be very limited and this will probably affect the course content and their expectations.

Teaching experienced professionals often involves:

• giving a lot of correction
• dealing with individuals who are used to being in control
• managing high expectations
• some interruption to lessons due to work place demands
• a need for them to keep in touch with colleagues by email or phone
• the use of specialist materials
• linking up with relevant people or organisations in the UK
