Materials World
3 October 2009
10:00 a.m. -- 5 p.m.
Gasteig, Rm 0.111
In an ELT context, what does the word materials mean to you? In this highly practical, day-long workshop, Jamie will be examining the richness of resources that are available to the modern language teacher. "By dissecting a number of my favourite lesson plans, I would like to share some insights on a range of essential lesson-planning skills which are often overlooked."
