ABOUT THE SEMINAR

One of the elements of effective language teaching is the ability to sustain students’ interest and encourage creativity and motivation in the learning process. With this in mind, the fourth ELT Seminar on the theme “English Language Teaching: An ‘out-of-the-box’ perspective” aims to provide a platform for ELT practitioners as well as those teaching other subjects in English to share and exchange ideas and insights on innovative and creative approaches to teaching and learning. Activities that encourage creative and critical thinking will add colour and variety to the language teaching and learning process as opposed to the more conventional and stereotypical approach.



OBJECTIVES
· To give exposure to English language practitioners on how to incorporate creative techniques and approaches in the teaching and learning of English

· To identify and share an array of techniques in English language teaching and learning

· To enhance cooperation and solidarity among language practitioners from various institutions
