Participants will learn more about incorporating Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) methodology into their lessons and participate in the sharing of best practices. Emphasis will be placed on Task-Based Learning (TBL), Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), and/vs. Content-Based Instruction (CBI). Participants will also discuss the use of authentic materials and realia, the roles of students and teachers in learning, effective pair and group work, pronunciation activities, contextualized grammar teaching, constructive error correction, and the best ways to provide feedback. They will also be given ideas for continuing their professional development after the course.By the end of the course, participants will have gained important competencies in how to maintain student motivation and learned how to create and maintain an effective language learning environment in their classroom.
