Taking students from intermediate to advanced level
|
Hello my dear colleagues all over the world,
I just came across an gread internet seminar (webinar) on the above subject.
Macmillan author and English teacher Roy Norris gives a 45 minutes talk which is realy worth listening to, especially since he gives a lot of interesting web links.
Here is the link:

and
Here is the text that introduces the webinar:

"Taking Students from Upper Intermediate to Advanced"
Progressing
from B2 to C1, from an upper intermediate to an advanced level,
represents a major challenge for students. However, with the right type
of guidance from teachers, learners can be helped to move away from the
�intermediate plateau� and become true advanced students of English. I
will look at ways in which teachers can maximise students� potential in
each of the main skill areas, both receptive and productive, and
suggest activities for developing relevant subskills. I will be
referring to the Cambridge CAE examination, as this is a test of
students� ability to function at C1 level, but the webinar will be of
interest to all teachers of advanced English.

Thanks... I needed something like this... I�m teaching students at the junior high level. we�re using the text New Opportunities, and I�m at the Upper-Intermediate level. Unfortunately, that�s where the series ends, and I�m looking for what else to do with them for next year. These students have incredible skills, and I�d like to develop their fluency. Any suggestions,anyone? |

Thank you so much Dorothea for sharing this wonderful seminar with us. I �ve just watched it and I found it very interesting. I �ve wrote down all the weblinks he gives for the different skills and took notes on some exercises which I want to try with my students. It was also good to hear that shtudents must take responsibility for their own learning. After all, shouldn �t we be preparing them for lifelong, autonomous learning?
Have a nice day.
Hugs,
