Action Log and Topic-Based Instruction

Speaker: Mamoru Takahashi

Date: Saturday, September 29th, 2007

Time: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Location: Akita

Venue: Joinus (at the entrance of Senshu Park)

Description: This presentation will show you how to use Action Logs (AL) in your classroom. AL is a kind of action research. It is a tool that enables you to know what students are thinking.

The second theme in this workshop is how to conduct topic-based instruction in the classroom. We know that merely exposing students to a piece of knowledge only once is not enough to improve their English skills. During the workshop, you will experience how to organize teaching materials under a specific theme or topic.

Mamoru Takahashi is teaching English at the Research and Education Center for Comprehensive Science, Akita Prefectural University. His current areas of interest include Content-based Communicative Instruction, Computer Assisted Language Learning, Autonomous Learning, and Action Research.
