Language Classroom Content & Pedagogy Developing Multi-Word Expression Knowledge and Use: A Fluency Workshop more
Sun, Nov 14, 18:00-18:25 Asia/Tokyo
Speaking fluency is a common language learning goal, and fluency has been linked with the use of multi-word expressions. The effectiveness of a fluency workshop to increase learner knowledge, spoken use and fluency with multi-word expressions (for example: “I think I will” and “would you like to”) will be reported. Teachers can expect practical ideas for building learner knowledge and use of multi-word expressions using the interactive workshop activities in both face-to-face and online classrooms.
