Approaches to EFL Teaching: Speaking
For Teachers
Approaches to EFL Teaching: Speaking
Speaking, one of the fundamental skills when it comes to foreign language learning, appears to be a challenging skill to acquire since it cannot be practiced individually but only within the interactive environment of a group.
In this framework, teaching speaking skills becomes an equally demanding task for EFL teachers not only towards language learning itself but also in connection to exams preparation. This interactive webinar focuses on the speaking skills students are expected to develop for real life communication (including English language examinations). Participants will gain valuable insight into the basic principles of teaching these skills in the framework of Teaching English as a Foreign Language. The teaching principles and practices explored during the webinar will help teachers more effectively prepare their students for English language certification examinations while enhancing their own teaching skills.
