Presented by Carol Numrich and Frances Boyd
We’ve learned that academic English Language students thrive on materials rooted in engaging topics, integrated skills, and critical thinking. But what can materials do to further support higher-order academic skills? With specific examples, we demonstrate activities that develop note-taking, presentation skills, and application of grammar and vocabulary to varied academic tasks.
