Description:
In this presentation, Robert Mark discusses the validity of using word games in the language classroom and gives several reasons for doing so. He argues that in pursuing communicative competence, there is a need for creative and spontaneous use of language. Word games play a significant role in achieving this objective. He focuses on adapting versions of past American television quiz shows, and demonstrates how they can be applied to the different language levels and teaching lessons of ESL classes. Audience participation in games will be requested! About the speaker: Robert Mark is an associate professor of English at Kyushu University. Before that he taught for 10 years at Shinshu University in Nagano prefecture. He has taught English in Thailand and in the USA. He has published a textbook in Thailand of authentic reading materials and numerous journal articles in Japan.
