      Classroom Drama for Every EFL Learner:  Other Avenues of Learning.



      Integrating drama creatively in the EFL classroom can be a challenge for 
any teacher. Which student gets the lead role?  Should the exceptional learner 
be cast aside?  Together we explore the different ways of including the entire 
class when using drama in the EFL class.

      Vocabulary Strategies for Learning Disabled Pupils



      In this workshop we will discuss the basic issues involved in 'knowing a 
word', and look at features of vocabulary items that make them difficult/easy 
to learn. We will then examine a taxonomy of vocabulary learning strategies and 
explore ways of adapting these strategies to the needs of LD pupils.

      No Student Is Left Behind! Differentiated Instruction Makes it Happen


      Large classes, limited time periods and curricular mandates make it 
challenging for teachers to adjust to the needs of today's diverse learners. In 
order to survive in loaded-mixed-ability-classes, some teachers teach the 
average and above average students, hoping that eventually all the students 
will get something out of it. In an era of standards and accountability this is 
not acceptable. Using differentiated instruction is the ultimate way to 
maximize the potential of each student in heterogeneous classes. In the 
lecture, we will present a model of differentiated instruction which is being 
implemented in both elementary and junior high schools. We will show how 
teachers using this model adjust learning materials to students of different 
levels of achievement.

      Raising Intercultural Awareness In Native Speakers Through Literature

      This workshop is for teachers interested in raising intercultural 
awareness in the English classroom. It specifically deals with teaching 
literature to Native Speakers but the principles and the activities can be 
widely applied. We will examine materials suitable for pupils with good 
proficiency in English and explore multimedia possibilities for promoting 
sensitivity to the nuances of language. We will try out a diversity of non-test 
activities that can easily be adapted for your pupils' needs and interests.
