English Language Teaching Methodology: This webinar is part of the American English LIVE online professional development series. This presentation will help you enrich classroom time by examining how to incorporate the practice of real language into grammar lessons. The session will consider what “real communication” means and examine the motivating impact that creativity and opportunities for personal expression have on successful language learning. Participants will work with a template for a sample lesson plan that incorporates communicative tasks and balances opportunities for language input and output. The activity ideas and practical steps outlined in this session are applicable for classes of any age, ability level, or level of access to technology.
