We’ll talk about what exactly “living language” means, in contrast to textbooks' lifeless and unnatural language. Even the best modern textbooks, unfortunately, fall short.
Let me clarify upfront: living, conversational language is not just about informal slang, though that’s part of it, too. But living language is much broader.
During the webinar, you will learn:
- What is oral discourse and its features and characteristics
- How to incorporate it into your lessons and helpful teaching techniques
- How to improve the lifeless, artificial language found in textbooks
- How to help students sound natural themselves
The webinar is for teachers and language learners! And not only for English! Don’t be misled by the title; the characteristics of spoken language apply to all languages.
Duration: 1 hour 40 minutes.
Language: The webinar will be conducted in Russian, with examples in English.
