What are words worth? (Talk) 

Since the advent of the Lexical Approach, the importance of vocabulary has become a truism in ELT. However, many of us are still left wondering what principles should underpin the design and implementation of vocabulary practice activities. In this session we’ll explore some of the do’s and don’ts of vocabulary teaching that are guaranteed to maximize the potential for vocabulary learning.

Marcus Murilo Lacerda has been a teacher for over 12 years. He holds an ICELT and a Delta Module 1. He currently works at Casa Thomas Jefferson in Brasília.

 

Everyone Makes Misteaks! (Pronunciation Trouble Spots for Nonnative Teachers) - Workshop

Marcus Murilo & Patrícia Fleury (co-presenter)

There is no denying that increased language awareness is an essential component of teacher development, but how often are we teachers given the opportunity to pursue linguistic self-actualization? This workshop aims at giving teachers just that: an opportunity to learn more about pronunciation trouble spots that bedevil even ELT practitioners!

Patricia Fleury has been a teacher at Casa Thomas Jefferson since 1983, having worked with various levels including teacher training.
