Presented by Dr. Ken Beatty
How do we measure success in the ever-changing river of language learning? For most students, it’s passing a final test. But there are other measures of success. This presentation looks at how success is influenced by three factors: one, teachers’ training, experiences, and passions; learners needs, desires, and ambitions; two, the contexts for teaching and learning; and, three, the materials we use. Success can be measured in how these flow together to reach teachers’ and learners’ goals.
