Forgive us (your colleagues from Cambridge ESOL) for "hacking" your blog! :-)
We have discovered that you are going to deliver a talk at TESOL 2012, which will take place in Deusto from 9th-11th of March, and we would like to know a little bit more about it.
Why did you decide to go into
English language Teaching?
I'd spent a year in France at a Primary school as a
language assistant. Loved it, so when I finished my degree, I came across
to Spain for a year before going into international banking or marketing. Never became a banker or a marketer!!!
What is your talk about?
My talk is about listening and distraction! (The
title says it all!)
Why do you think teachers
should see your talk?
Why do you think
teachers will find your talk interesting/useful? What do you think teachers
will get out of attending your session/talk?
We will consider things that distract us when we are
listening, how we can help our students overcome distractions when listening,
recognise things in listening texts that can help steer them through a
listening text, and last but not least, consider how distraction is used as a
testing tool to check whether students can understand the listening texts used
in the Cambridge ESOL exams.
I hope that
the teachers who come to the talk will think about how they approach listening
with their students and that they will find the tips and suggestions
interesting, relevant and immediately usable!
What's your all-time top tip
for English language teachers?
Inspire as
much as you can while you teach! That inspiration can continue even after
your students have left the classroom.
Thanks Anne! Looking forward to see your talk!
Anne's talk "Distraction in listening" will take place on Saturday 10th of March, 17.00 - Room 210
The provisional programme can be downloaded, here.
