Synchronous (Onsite) Critical Pedagogy / Perspectives Workshop (50 mins Onsite)

Guiding Students to Constructing Better Arguments

Sun, Apr 30, 13:00-13:50 Asia/Seoul

Location: P204

Many EFL university students face not only challenges with English academic language but also the expectations of Western academic rhetoric. In this workshop, we'll discuss how to tailor popular argumentation models to student learners and guide them in developing critical arguments. The workshop will focus on example lesson materials and online resources for Aristotelian, Toulmin and Rogerian arguments, with some reference to other popular argumentation options as well. As many at this conference cater to a Korean audience, the presentation will also briefly touch on academic research in differences between Korean and Western rhetorical styles. While this workshop may focus more on written essays, there will be some room for discussion in spoken rhetoric (debates, presentations, etc.) as well.
