PRESENTER SESSION ABSTRACT PRESENTER BIO SESSION DAY/TIME
DOROTHY ZEMACH As classes move online, you might wonder: How do I handle teaching writing? What exactly can I do during my lessons? You can’t spend 20 minutes watching students type, after all. This session provides advice—with many examples—of how to provide instruction, allow for practice, set meaningful assignments, and collect students’ work, targeting high school and adult levels. We’ll have time for questions & answers at the end. Dorothy Zemach taught English, French, and Japanese for over 25 years in Asia, Africa, and the US. She holds an MA in TESL from the School for International Training in Vermont, USA. An author of over 20 textbooks, she now concentrates on writing and editing English language teaching materials and conducting teacher training workshops. Her titles with Macmillan include Open Mind, Skillful, the Macmillan Writing Series, and Get Ready for Business.

JAMIE KEDDIE The teacher as a storyteller: leading by example

One thing that fascinates human beings is other human beings. And your students are no exception. Whether you realise it or not, your students want to know more about you – their teacher. In this practical talk, I would like to share some ideas for teacher-led storytelling activities to engage your students and get them thinking, speaking, listening, writing, learning, and sharing stories of their own.

 Jamie Keddie is a teacher, trainer and storyteller. He is the founder of LessonStream, and the author of ‘Videotelling: YouTube Stories for the Classroom’ (LessonStream Books, 2017). Jamie is an affiliate trainer at Norwich institute for Language Education. 28/05/2020
