What are the ingredients for an integrated approach to EFL?In the first place, we include all four skills, recognizing that oral and written language develop at the same time. Next, we present new material with content-based dialogues and readings. Then, we provide extensive listening models with pronunciation exercises to help students in the troublesome area. And of course, we can’t forget grammar, phonics and spelling, or that learning takes place during social interactions such as games, pair work and projects.Come let us show you how to put all together with BEST FRIENDS !Best Friends is a new six-level, content based, integrated course for elementary students.

Communicative English Teaching in Asian Contexts: The Challenge for Teacher EducationFriday, Nov, 08 ( 14:20-15:20)Presentation room: Relationship HallSpeaker: Savignon, Sandra J.

In the literature on communicative language teaching, or CLT, teacher education has not received adequate attention. (Kleinsasser and Sato, 1999; Savignon, in press). Curricular reforms reported in Asian ELT settings include Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong. Each presents both common and unique concerns for teacher education in terms of English language norms, learner needs and goals, teaching methods and materials, and learner assessment. Within educational research as within the social sciences more generally, we are increasingly aware that in our attempts to discern system or rationality, we have been led to focus on certain observable patterns while at the same time disregarding all that defies classification. Just as the implementation of CLT is itself highly contextualized, so too are the means of gathering and interpreting data on these implementations. This paper identifies four themes that emerge from reports of curricular reform efforts in Asian contexts: 1) the richness of the descriptive data now available on language learning and teaching; 2) the highly contextualized nature of CLT; 3) the irrelevance of any definition of a "native speaker" in the multilingual environments in which most learners find themselves; and 4) the verwhelming influence of language tests on language teaching.. Each theme will be illustrated with examples and a discussion of the implications for teacher education.

Sandra J. Savignon is a professor in the Program in Linguistics and Applied Language Studies (LALS) at the Pennsylvania State University. She is a past president of the American Association for Applied Linguistics and has traveled widely in North and South America, Europe, and Asia consulting and giving seminars on communicative language teaching. Her books include Communicative Competence: Theory and Classroom Practice, winner of the Modern Language Association of America Mildenberger Medal for an outstanding research publication in the field of second/foreign language teaching. This book is now it its second edition (1997). Her most recent book is Interpreting Communicative Language Teaching: Contexts and Concerns in Teacher Education, Yale University Press (2002). She and her husband Gabriel are the parents of three bilingual children, now grown with families of their own.

5) SRA Reading Lab: Making Better Readers in Taiwan

Saturday, Nov. , 09 ( 13:10-14:10)Presentation Room : 328

The goal of any successful ESL Reading Program in Taiwan should be to produce confident independent readers. The Taiwanese ESL Student must develop the ability to read alone, think clearly about, and comprehend most of the information she takes in, in order to acquire and maintain life-long reading skills. In short, the ESL Reading Teacher cannot be a crutch the student relies upon.

SRA Reading Lab is an in-classroom tool ESL Students can use to develop, nourish and systematically grow such crucial language skills. SRA Reading Lab allows students the flexibility and freedom to learn at their own pace, confidently and independently. The ESL Teacher takes on a supportive role in the students’ reading development, allowing the students to acquire reading skills in a natural, unobtrusive, low stress manner.

SRA Reading Lab makes kids think for themselves. It makes them rely on themselves.

SRA Reading Lab makes them better readers.

Come join us in this workshop and see for yourself on how READING LABS would work for you!

9) Learning Sociolinguistically Appropriate Language Through the Video Drama Rebecca’s Dream

Sunday , Nov.,10 ( 12:00 -13:00 )Presentation Room : 325

Video provides 1) audio and visual stimuli as well as 2) complete and contextualized conversations, and has thus proved to be a rich vehicle in foreign language learning. The video drama Connect With English (Rebecca’s Dream) created to promote English language learning is particularly outstanding in that it contains an enthralling storyline, true-to-life scenarios, on-location scenes, varied social interactions, realistic yet easy-to-follow linguistic and cultural information, authentic filming and acting. This presentation discusses how Connect With English can help enhance learners’ intercultural communicative competence on three levels: cultural awareness, phraseological correctness, and pragmatic appropriateness. And the importance of approximating sociolinguistically appropriate English language models to minimize the negative effect of native language transfer is emphasized.

Come join us in this exciting workshop to make learning for young students an enjoyable one!
