This document discusses principles and techniques for teaching listening and speaking skills through communicative activities. It provides an overview of what makes listening and speaking difficult for language learners. Some key principles for teaching listening include exposing students to different processing styles, task types, and authentic materials. For teaching speaking, the document recommends using a range of techniques, intrinsic motivation, authentic contexts, feedback, and teaching speaking in conjunction with listening. A variety of tasks and materials are presented for both skills, including information gaps, role plays, surveys, and games.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Teaching Speaking & Listening
1. Teaching Speaking & Listening
through Communicative
Activities
Erin Lowry
Senior English Language Fellow
Workshop for Manizales Bilingüe
February 17, 2009
2. The Challenge
• To integrate skills
• To provide opportunities for authentic
communication contexts
• To give a reason for communication
(information gaps)
• To assess these skills in an objective manner
4. What Makes Listening Difficult?
• Clustering
• Repetition
• Reduced forms
• Performance variables
• Colloquial language
• How fast someone speaks
• Stress, rhythm, and intonation
• Interaction
5. Principles for Teaching Listening
1. Expose students to different ways of
processing information
– Bottom-up vs. Top-down
– Interactive
2. Expose students to different types of
listening
3. Teach a variety of tasks
4. Consider text, difficulty, and authenticity
Helgeson, 2003
7. Principles for Designing Listening
Techniques
• Use techniques that are intrinsically
motivating
• Use authentic language and contexts
• Carefully consider the form of listeners’
responses
• Encourage the development of listening
strategies
• Include bottom-up and top-down listening
techniques
Brown, 2001
8. Successful Listening Activities
• Purpose for Listening
– A form of response
(doing, choosing, answering, transferring, condensin
g, duplicating, extending, conversing)
• Repetition depends on objectives and students’ level
• A motivating listening text is authentic and relates to
students’ interests and needs
• Have the skills integrated
• Stages: Pre-task , While-task, Post-task
9. Activities for Beginners
• Top-down Activities
– identifying emotions, understanding meaning of
sentences, recognizing the topic
10. Activities for Beginners
• Bottom-up Activities
– discriminating between intonation contours,
phonemes, or selective listening for different
morphological endings, word or sentence
recognition, listening for word order
11. Activities for Beginners
• Interactive Activities
– listening to a word and brainstorming related
words, listening to a list and categorizing the
words, following directions
12. Listening Strategies
• Teach student how to listen
– Looking for keywords
– Looking for nonverbal cues to meaning
– Predicting a speaker’s purpose by the context of the
spoken discourse
– Associating information with one’s existing
background knowledge (activating schema)
– Guessing meanings
– Seeking clarification
– Listening for the general gist
– For tests of listening comprehension, various test-
taking strategies
13. Easy-to-plan Pre-Listening

• Share reactions
• Create a visual
• Reenact your own version
16. Activities in a Listening Lesson
• Introductory

that focus on the language that will be used
• Main
– Comprehension activities developing different
listening subskills
• Post
– Learners talk about how a topic in the listening
text relates to their own lives or give opinions
17. Easy to Plan Post-listening
Assessments
• Guess the meaning of unknown vocabulary
• Analyze the speaker’s intentions
• List the number of people involved and their
function in the script

with the smooth use of
connected speech
23. Principles of Teaching Speaking
Beginners

about
• Create opportunities for students to interact
by using groupwork or pairwork
• Manipulate physical arrangements to promote
speaking practice
Bailey, 2005
24. Principles of Teaching Speaking
Intermediate

for meaning
• Design both transactional and interpersonal
speaking activities
• Personalize the speaking activities whenever
possible
Bailey, 2005
26. Communicative Tasks
• Motivation is to achieve some outcome using
the language
• Activity takes place in real time
• Achieving the outcome requires participants
to interact
• No restriction on language used
27. Example Communicative Tasks
• Information gaps
• Jigsaw activities
• Info gap race (p. 83)
• Surveys
• Guessing games
