Description

Participants in the workshop will become familiar with the various types of content that is offered in each issue of English Teaching Forum, a peer-reviewed, practice-based journal published four times a year by the U.S. Department of State. Attendees will try a selection of sample activities from the journal and explore ways to make use of them for their students’ particular needs. Emphasis will be placed on techniques for adapting activities for specific goals and contexts; the workshop will also include discussions of possibilities for employing AI tools to enhance the activities. Attendees can expect to come away from the workshop with new practices that they can put to use in the classroom and an understanding of how Forum can serve as a source of fresh teaching ideas related to language learning, cross-cultural understanding, critical thinking, media literacy, and more. Woven into the workshop, led by the editor of Forum, will be tips for those who are interested in submitting articles of their own for publication.
