Description: Do your students dread the presentation class? What results do you get? Do you use presentations in classes as an "easy" option? Presentation classes are widely used in the language teaching classroom but equally can be misused by teachers and abused by students. By using anecdotal evidence the speaker will explore the challenges for teachers and students in presentation-focused courses and classes that incorporate presentations. Ideas for evaluating presentation performance will also be given. Participants will be invited to try out some of the ideas in their own presentation forum.

There's A Book Inside All of Us

Speaker: Paul Moritoshi
Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM (Sat., May 17th, 2008)
Fee (JALT members): free
Fee (One-Day members): free
Prefecture: Miyazaki
City: Miyazaki
Venue: Miyazaki Municipal University, Kenkyu Kogi Toh 3F, Room 310, Funatsuka 1-1-2, Miyazaki-shi (Tel: 0985-20-2000)
Description: It has been said that "There's a book inside all of us," but how does one go about writing a persuasive publishing proposal for an EFL textbook? For some, the process seems so intimidating, confusing or demanding that they don't even start. This workshop very briefly outlines the publishing process as a whole then goes into the specifics of how to write a strong proposal. This will be a very 'hands-on' workshop with audience members forming small groups, each working through the various stages of proposal writing to produce the skeleton of a textbook proposal in a EFL-related area of interest to them (Speaking, Listening, Business English etc.). It is also hoped that this workshop will provide the impetus for those in the audience with an idea for a book to actually start writing their proposal.
