Akita JALT:

How to Develop Learner Autonomy Based on Shadowing and Extensive Reading

Date: Sunday, July 27th, 2003 Time: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Takayuki Yoshizawa

Description:
The speaker's first concern is how to motivate the students to become active and autonomous learners capable of learning on their own by activating their knowledge and interests outside the classroom than relegate them to the position of passive recipients of language materials solely given by the teacher. In view of this, Yoshizawa will introduce what he has done for several years (shadowing for communication and extensive reading) in his classroom.
