Tips for Teaching Real English

LEWIS LANSFORD

The majority of English-language interactions don’t involve a first-language user of

English, and don't take place in a country where English is an official language. This
is the reality of English as it’s used today. What does this mean for 21st Century
learners? What kind of accent should we encourage them to aim for? What do
they need to know about culture? How can we teach them the importance of
understanding their audience? This webinar discusses these questions and offers
practical answers for how to address them in the classroom,

Everything is better with music

VANESSA REILLY

A well-chosen song can create an English-speaking atmosphere in the primary

classroom, providing useful input on language, cultural elements, and other
subjects across the curriculum in English. In this practical webinar, we will look at
using music to make our job easier and the learning process more memorable for
children.

Teaching pronunciation for English as a Lingua Franca (ELF)

LAURA PATSKO

What do learners of English need to sound like? Who do they speak to? Who needs
to understand them? Who do they need to understand? In 2017, the answer to all
these questions is probably not “native English speakers”. Linguists estimate that
non-native speakers of English now outnumber its native speakers by at least 3 to 1
(Crystal, 2008), and approximately 80% of interaction in English worldwide takes
place with no native speakers present (Beneke, 1991). What does this mean for our
classrooms? This webinar will consider new pronunciation priorities and challenges
for learners and teachers of English, including practical tips and activities
