Speaking practice is a vital part of the process of learning, enjoying and
becoming more confident in a foreign language. This session will look at ways
of helping students speak more confidently, naturally and fluently, and above
all at how good activities can motivate students to speak! I will also suggest
how to deal with challenges at different levels, and with the key area of giving
feedback. Examples will be taken from our new general English series English
Result. Learn English by doing; learn English while having fun – with
English Result.

New members:
The English Language Teachers' Association Ulm/Neu-Ulm (ELTAU) brings
together teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Southern Germany.
We are
a non-profit organization run by volunteers.
Our members, both native and non-native
speakers of English, come from all teaching sectors. Our goal is to provide
a forum for sharing experience and developing professional expertise.
During
the year we run seminars, talks, workshops and informal "idea exchange" sessions
on a wide range of subjects relating to EFL. The emphasis is on practical teaching
and training ideas. Our speakers and facilitators come from the local area
and other parts of Germany, as well as from abroad.
Members are able to learn
more about specialized fields and developments in areas such as Business English,
Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), Cultural Awareness and Methodology.
Publishers' presentations and book displays keep members abreast of EFL materials
on the market.
ELTAU offers its members the opportunity of networking with other
EFL professionals, as well as informal social contact with friends and colleagues.
For
a complimentary copy of our online newsletter or further information about
joining the association, email ELTAU's membership secretary:
Kerstin Jakob
ELTAU membership costs 35 euros/year and new members can join
at any time.
