Rules, Patterns and Words: A Pedagogic Description of Language

Date: Saturday, November 29th, 2003 Time: 1:00 PM - 4:00 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. A small reception will be held after the presentation to toast the speaker and the 4 Corners Tour.
About the speaker: 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.
