Nagasaki JALT:

Significant Scribbles: From sentence combining to diary writing.

Date: Sunday, October 30th, 2005 Time: 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Curtis Kelly, Osaka Gakuin University, with Steve King of Pearson/Longman publishers.

Description:
Sentence combining has been around since the 1960s, but it has been largely overlooked, despite research showing its effectiveness. Recent findings in brain studies, however, suggest that we have grossly underestimated the power of this unusual technique for teaching grammar and writing. The presenter will explain what sentence combining is, discuss some of the research that shows its unique advantages, and demonstrate a grammar/writing course that incorporates this methodology. The participants will engage in discussions on how we can employ new insights on learning, and how to attend to both the linguistic and psychological needs of learners.
