1. Writing Correction in the Linguistically Diverse Classroom
Monday, February 6, 2017 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm
Classes in all departments at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 and King鈥檚 are increasingly diverse, with speakers of English as a first, second, or additional language learning side by side. How to approach the design and correction of writing assignments, research papers, and exam essays can be challenging when your class contains students at a range of English proficiency levels. How do we design assignments and exams to ensure fairness for all students? Should we be sticklers about the fine points of grammatical accuracy or overlook errors that don鈥檛 inhibit communication? How can we assure our correction practices best align with course goals? This workshop will include discussion, activities and sharing of research findings and best practices in the area of writing correction and multilingual writers.

We will also put participants through a structured controversy / experiential learning exercise as an example of how we employ experiential learning tools in our classes.

3. CLIL strategies and their place in the university teaching contexts in Canada
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an educational approach used in English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) contexts around the world. In English-speaking countries, with universities and higher education aiming at internationalization, there are more students and instructors in almost every department who are English as an additional language speakers. The question is: 鈥淚s there a place for CLIL strategies in EAP classes and also in a mainstream university contexts where English is the first language?鈥� If you are teaching a group of international students, or are an international instructor teaching your academic content in English, you might be thinking how effectively can I make the connection between the content I am teaching and English language, or is English language a challenge to understanding and delivering content for international teachers and students alike?

This 90-minute workshop will help you explore responses to these questions. You will participate in discussion and activities on how CLIL principles including theory and strategies can assist you in understanding your international contexts鈥� needs and add the ingredient of effectiveness to your teaching.
