I work with educators, aiming to help them grow and develop so be more successful in what they do. I have more than 20 years experience working in various roles in education, with over a decade of that living in Asia. I hope that my session can help you by connecting what we know about successful teaching with what can be possible in your context.

Making Speaking Happen (Online and Off)
Although speaking is often regarded as the essential language skill, learners often feel frustrated that their ability to speak is still inadequate despite years of study. This talk will look at insights, old and new, about what the skill of speaking is and how to help learners improve their spoken ability. We will also look at why and how to incorporate “time to speak” in lessons and courses, whether delivered face-to-face or online.
