Particularly popular questionnaires such as The Love Personality Test, The Self-Esteem Test, and others are demonstrated. This demonstration session allows participants to perform the activity and explore applications for their own teaching environments. Animation is an innovative tool that can be used in the ESL classroom to teach English. By presenting lessons that use clips from a variety of animated films, this presentation demonstrates how students can develop their English ability, especially listening and discussion skills. The presenter discusses the need for providing content in conversation partner programs or conversation classes and suggests qualities of good content that supply students with information they need or would like to know, such as U.S. cultural information.
Participants sample stimulating discussion topics as well as interesting tidbits of U.S. culture.
In this demonstration, participants view examples of techniques that have been successfully used to help students overcome such barriers. The presenters report on the activities and the outcomes of a newly founded debate club for EFL university students. The presenters maintain that debates reinforce leadership skills and create an authentic EFL learning environment that makes use of several language functions. The presenters will provide audiocassettes and handouts.
