Iwate-Aomori JALT:

Rules, Patterns and Words: A Pedagogic Description of Language

Date: Thursday, November 27th, 2003 Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Speaker: Dave Willis

Description:
Dave Willis will show how grammar and lexis, contrary to traditional notions, are indeed related. He will look at the implications of this interrelationship for language teaching. Willis has worked in ELT for almost forty years. He worked as a teacher and teacher trainer in Ghana, Cyprus, Iran and Singapore as well as the UK. He recently retired from his job as a Senior Lecturer working on MA TEFL/TESL programmes at Birmingham University, but continues to be active in ELT writing and running consultancies. He has written extensively on discourse analysis, task-based learning and pedagogic language description. His latest book Rules, Patterns and Words: Grammar and Lexis in English Language Teaching will be published by Cambridge University Press in December of 2003.
