3. NOUVELLES DE FLENJ 

Le site web de FLENJ a été complètement refait et vaut la visite !

De plus, FLENJ vous propose une série d’ateliers pour professeurs de langue.

Voici les deux premiers. Visitez www.flenj.org pour plus de détails

Strand I: Communication à la Mode

 

PART I

High Yield Practices for the Interpretive Mode
October 19, 2012

 

This highly interactive workshop will focus on the interpretive mode of the first National Standard, Communication. In our enthusiasm for focusing on oral proficiency, we often forget that input (through the interpretive mode) is the proven key for all language acquisition. Ironically, our textbooks continue to lack theoretically sound input activities of high quality, leaving educators to create their own. During this workshop, teachers will participate in numerous interpretive mode activities that they can then take back to their classrooms to provide the critical input so necessary for student progress.

 

Presenter:

Joe Goebel
College of NJ

 

  

 

PART II

Interpersonal Communication: What's in Your Tool Box?
January 18, 2013

 

Students are often discouraged when speaking a foreign language because there are words and structures that they want to use, but may not know. This workshop will offer tools and ideas for creating activities that foster increased learner confidence in speaking, with a particular focus on interpersonal communication. First, a common understanding of speaking objectives (Performance, Transaction, Interaction) will be established, followed by a demonstration of strategies that will achieve these goals. Participants will engage in activities that can be used to build confidence and skills in speaking exchanges so that they have a clear understanding of how to implement these tools in their classroom. Topics will include circumlocution, creating and accessing semantic maps, group activities, partner activities and listening comprehension in relation to speaking. Participants will explore techniques that modify or extend what they already do in the classroom so that their students will begin to engage in conversations with more confidence. 

Presenter: Joshua Cabral, Brookwood School: Manchester, MA
