Okayama JALT:

Task-based Language Learning Through Debate

Date: Saturday, April 15th, 2006 Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Eiko Nakamura

Description:
Learners' language development through debate tasks observed in a high school English classroom is closely examined. A chaotic period in which learners pushed themselves to paraphrase and improvise their speech during a debate task was recognized. Learners' decision-making to take a risk of increasing language deficiency seems to play an important role for language development. This presentation explores crucial factors to push learners to make maximum use of their target language.

Eiko Nakamura recently completed a Masters of Education at Okayama University. She teaches part time at Kawasaki University of Medical Welfare.
