Interaction is a key driver of second language acquisition. This workshop will look at the techniques that language specialists in Academic English use to maximise incentives and opportunities for students to engage in discussions. We will give you practical suggestions for how you can apply these techniques to your HE teaching context to create a richer, more engaging learning experience for all.
This session is open to staff of the University of Glasgow. For the avoidance of doubt as to eligibility, it would be helpful if you could please register using your staff email address.
Tea and coffee will be available.
