Description

This group is now closed and over. You are welcome to read the archives. If you have any questions please contact the moderator -- thomasgault2@sbcglobal.net.

This group was part of TESOL's Electronic Village Online, 2007.
**************************************************
We ESL teachers walk into our classrooms armed with proven frameworks for natural language acquisition and all the latest communicative teaching methods. We’re going to change the world, one class at a time! Yet all too often, our students do not respond well, and many drop out. They think we should be doing something else – more drills, more translation, more something.

This session is exploring the assumptions held by adult language learners as to what are good teaching methods. It will consider both individual preferences, and preferences that are linked to educational level and cultural background.

The session is being moderated by Thomas Gault, PhD, and is based on his dissertation "Adult immigrant Hispanics' assumptions regarding good teaching in ESL."
