Seminar Title    Language and Learning Workshop.
Format               Workshop and team work
Presentor  Dudley Reynolds
Facilitator  Selma Limam Mansar
Date  16 April 2008  
Time  1.30-2.30pm
Abstract Successful student learning is a complex process depending at the very least on:
  • individual work and study strategies,
  • content input that is appropriate to prior knowledge development
  • the demands and structure of the learning task, and
  • linguistic knowledge and literacy skills that allow students to mediate the content and task.
This workshop focuses on this fourth component and how we as teachers can promote students’ awareness of language and their ability to manipulate it. Using 2-3 scenarios describing student learning situations as a basis for discussion, we will focus on the linguistic abilities needed to complete different tasks, potential ways to scaffold the tasks, and what would constitute useful feedback to the student.
