Dear all If you missed Stephen Krashen's webinar tonight you can listen/watch the recording by following this link: http://yltsigevo2012.wordpress.com/ Krashen is best known for developing the first comprehensive theory of second language acquisition, which controversially claims that there is a difference between acquisition and learning. He starts his engaging talk by criticising the skills theory and ends up talking about the benefits of drinking coffee and his frequent visits to Israel to visit his mishpucha. The webinar is brought to you by YLT (Young Learners & Teenagers) SIG (Special Interest Group) of UK-based IATEFL (The International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language) of which ETAI is an associate member. They have more webinars coming up in February including "Challenging learners" by Marie Delaney and "The importance of early literacy teaching" by Wendy Arnold who was a guest speaker at the international ETAI conference in Jersualem in 2010. http://yltsigevo2012.wordpress.com/ The British Council is the United Kingdom's international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations.
