Helping Advanced Students Increase their Productive Vocabulary The use of a wide range of appropriate language is a key element in raising the standard of a student's written and spoken English beyond an intermediate level. This workshop will explore ways of improving the range and extent of students' productive vocabulary at advanced levels. We will consider some general guidelines concerning the selection and recording of appropriate vocabulary and look at some specific examples showing how students can incorporate this language into their writing and speaking.

Using examples from 'Straightforward', the new Macmillan adult coursebook, this talk / workshop will consider, from a learner’s point of view, what is involved in classroom speaking activities. We will explore the different options that are available to us in the management of these activities and the effect that these options have on probable learning outcomes. Jim Scrivener 12 noon Helping Teachers Plan Principled Plans Trainers and trainees often view it as an act of writing - but lesson planning is essentially a thinking skill. How can trainers help teachers to plan in more thoughtful ways? How far does a tool like ARC (Authentic, Restricted, Clarification) help or hinder? This workshop will give some concrete suggestions for helping trainees make better plans.
