Tuesday 1 May 2012, 1800 - 2030

The Bluecoat, School Lane, Liverpool, L1 3BX

(A) The essay and beyond: writing for different purposes in British universities

With Hilary Nesi and Sheena Gardner

This presentation will discuss the written genres university students are required to produce in different disciplines and at different levels of study. We will draw on findings from the 6.5 million word British Academic Written English (BAWE) corpus of student writing explaining the way we have assigned texts in the corpus to thirteen 'genre families', each of which plays a distinctive pedagogical role.

Seminar participants will be invited to comment on our categorisation system and relate it to their own experiences of setting and assessing writing tasks.

followed by

(B) Identifying and working with dyslexic students

With Sally Farley

In this seminar participants will be given an insight into the nature of Dyslexia and the impact it has on language learning. Through a series of participatory activities participants will discover ways of identifying dyslexic learners and strategies to help them learn.

Sally Farley will debunk several myths about Dyslexia and show how, through the right teaching strategies, dyslexics can become successful language learners. Over the course of the seminar it will become clear that dyslexia-friendly teaching will benefit the whole class.

[ELTeCS_PE​RU] Great opportunit​y for a Master's in Education

Friends and Colleagues,


I have recently enrolled in a Master's Program in Education with a focus on Educational Management and Theory in the University of Piura and wanted to share. It is a great program, directed at professionals like ourselves who are interested in management positions in their companies or those they may start in the future. It is also pleasantly well priced and centrally located at the University of Piura's Miraflores location. The coordinator just informed me that there are still a few spaces available, the course begin this week, they are only Friday and Saturday. Don't pass up this opportunity to grow and diverse your professional base. Contact Ms. Carmen Pérez at carmen.perez@udep.pe (in Spanish) for more information. I hope to see you in classes!


Best,

Allison
