Synchronous (Onsite) ADOQ: A Practical Formulaic Sequencing Strategy for Improving Oral Fluency more
Sun, Apr 30, 09:00-09:50 Asia/Seoul
Formulaic sequences (Pangket, 2019) are practical word combinations and patterns. These word sequences can be used in diverse ways that encourage natural and extemporaneous speaking. ADOQ is a formulaic sequence (FS) that respectively refers to answer, detail, opinion, and question. This sequence works to facilitate the simultaneous processes of quickly accessing knowledge while logically activating oral production. Therefore, FS encourages longer speaking durations while reducing the length and frequency of pauses and recollection silences (Pangket, 2019). As learners become more proficient with a sequence, the sequence components can then become modular to align with higher complex speaking skills and collaborative tasks. In this immersive 50 minute workshop, the formulaic sequence “ADOQ” will be explicitly modeled with modulated scaffolding for implementation in various speaking contexts. This interactive workshop includes group discussions, practice, and reflection. Audience members can immediately implement ADOQ into their curriculum and course content with minimal prep time thereafter.
Synchronous (Onsite) Advancing Global Education (GE) in EFL Classrooms more
Sat, Apr 29, 13:00-14:20 Asia/Seoul
As our planet continues to face significant challenges, such as war, pandemics, social inequality, climate change, and human rights violations, students are directly impacted and may struggle to cope. Global Education (GE) is a pedagogical approach that offers students the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions about relevant issues, challenge their perspectives, and improve their English abilities. Proponents of using global issues as content argue that it increases multicultural awareness, develops tolerance for different opinions and other cultures, promotes self-reflection, and enhances valuable skills such as problem-solving and critical thinking. The workshop will begin by addressing the components of a GE framework. Then, the presenters will focus on activities and materials, student reflections, and, through audience participation, discuss some of the challenges and limitations. The session will conclude with a Q&A.
