Hello, fellow teachers! Welcome to our session!
I am not going to give away much about our presentation today because I want you all to take part in the discussions that my colleague Juliana Squinca and I are going to conduct!
What you need to know by now is that we are both teachers at Friends Language Center, in Uruaçu-GO and we both have a lot of experience in teaching English as a Foreign Language. We have attended a number of seminars and workshops, and we have recently come across the idea of Demand High ELT. As I told you I am not going to give away much about it now, but it is of paramount importance to know what Demand High is NOT!
Demand High is NOT a method and it is NOT anti any method. We are NOT anti-Communicative Approach. We are NOT anti-Dogme. We are NOT anti-Task Based Learning. We are simply suggesting adjustments to whatever it is you are already doing in class - ways of getting much greater depth of tangible engagement and learning.
The idea of this post is to start a series of in-class investigations and activate discussions through which we will eventually become better teachers and have better learners.
We hope you all have a good time today!
Ricardo and Juliana.
