Dear all,

1. Common Time Professional Development Sessions

You can find the details of this week’s session below:

TITLE: Having fun with grammar

PRESENTERS:Nazan Özçınar Sirel & Ezgi Öner

BRIEF INFO:  Grammar is the backbone of a language which needs to be presented and practised in class. Presentation is the stage at which students are introduced to the form, meaning and usage of a new piece of language. Teachers cannot not skip this stage if they wish to have their students grasp the necessary items of language. However, if they want their students to understand how to use that language item they need to use various ways of practice activities in class which suit their students’ interest and their own teaching style. Therefore, students need to be provided with opportunities of practice activities that engage them with the target language in order to be succesful language users.

DATE & TIME& VENUE: 03.10.2019, 14:45-16:30, ScOLa 220

Please send an e-mail to ezgi.oner@ozyegin.edu.tr or nazan.ozcinar@ozyegin.edu.tr by Wednesday if you would like to attend this session so that they can make the necessary arrangements.
