Abstract
All teachers want their students to achieve higher levels of fluency, but how to teach it, and which classroom methods actually work? The presenter has been teaching fluency-based speaking classes for over 20 years, and will share his methods and theories to get students to speak faster and to say more. In addition to a basic description of the essentials of his teaching techniques, he will demonstrate some classroom activities, from the basic Answer-Question pattern (AQp) to, One Idea, One Breath (OIOB) which is aimed at fluency improvement, and others such as Timed Speeches and, Disagreements. Time permitting, there will also be an introduction to his Authentic Listening / fluency practice website, GOLDFish365 - https://goldfish365.com/
Format: Hybrid Presentation - this presentation took place at Hokkai-Gakuen University and also online via Zoom.

Diagnostic EFL Listening Teaching Methods Based on Theories and Evidence
Presenter: Dr. Marisa Ueda
Click below for a full video of this workshop.
Abstract
This workshop aims to demonstrate diagnostic EFL listening teaching methods especially for Japanese learners of English based on evidence and two theories on human information processing and the metacognitive process of language learning. Despite a high number of new materials available for EFL listening and the invention of audio technology in the past 50 years, actual classroom teaching methods in EFL listening have changed little: Play an audio file, make learners answer questions, tell them the answers, give handouts (translations, audio scripts and vocabulary) and tell them to keep listening to the audio files until they fully understand them. These ways are NOT instructional because learners are left alone to work out for themselves: where/why their comprehension broke down and how to overcome their problems. Testing and teaching are NOT the same, yet this is not always realised even by us teachers. How can theories and evidence be applied to classroom practice? The audience is expected to be actively involved. First, the audience will be introduced to two fundamental theories about human information processing and the metacognitive process of language learning. Then they will learn how to find where/why learners’ comprehension broke down, mostly based on evidence. After that, the audience will be shown how to fix these problems diagnostically, depending on the causes. By the end of this workshop, the audience will have gained a degree of confidence in diagnostic EFL listening instruction. If you are not confident in teaching EFL listening, this workshop is for you. For further information, please visit http://listening-marisa.com.

オープン・セミナー題目 理論とエビデンスに基づいた診断的リスニング指導法
概要
このセミナーでは、特に日本人英語学習者を対象として「人間の情報処理に関する理論」と「言語 理解に関する理論」の2つの理論とエビデンス(統計学的に有意差があったデータ)を元に診断的 リスニング指導法を紹介します。過去、半世紀において、膨大な数のリスニングに関する教材が出 版されてきました。また、この半世紀で音声の録音や再生技術には大変な進化がありました。しか し、リスニング指導においてはほとんど進化がないというのが現実です。教員は音声を再生し、学 習者がそれを聞いて解答する。教員が解答を伝えて、オーディオ・スクリプトや日本語訳、単語の プリントを配る。文法や意味の説明がされることもあるかもしれません。そして必ず教員は最後に こういうのです。「わからないところや間違ったところがある人は、わかるまで何回も聞いておきま しょう」と。これは指導ではありません。「指導」というのは、「どこで」「何故間違ったのか・ わからなくなったのか」「どうすれば良いのか」を教えることなのです。 2つの理論の内容はどんなものでしょうか?エビデンスの具体的な詳細は、どういったものでしょ うか?2つの理論とエビデンスはリスニング指導にどのように関係しているのでしょうか?「どこ で」「何故間違ったのか・わからなくなったのか」「どうすれば良いのか」を指導できるようになる には、どうしたらいいのでしょうか?これら全部の質問の答えはセミナーで明らかになります。セ ミナーでは加者の皆さんに実際にセミナー内で意見交換してもらったり、実際に体験してもらった りと参加型のセミナーです。リスニングを自己流で指導してきた方やリスニング指導に自信がない 方へお勧めのセミナーです。 より詳しい内容はコチラのサイトを御覧下さい。
