<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This presentation will deal with the relevance of the Cambridge Certificate of English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) to the Libyan teaching context. Most language teachers and learners in Libya have experienced language learning and teaching from a teacher centred approach. The CELTA is a teacher training course that equips teachers to involve learners more; using the knowledge they (the learners) bring to the classroom to communicate in English. The talk will include a short demonstration on how vocabulary can be taught in a more student centred way instead of just telling students the meaning. The course syllabus, assessment and course structure will also be highlighted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>“Developing Cultural Fluency”</i></b> means not just understanding the words that a person from another culture is saying; it also means correctly interpreting what they really mean.

<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">Experiential Learning Workshop </span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Date:</span> </b>Saturday 21st April 2012<br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Time:</span> </b>2pm to 4pm<br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Venue:</span></b> Tripoli International School (<i>see directions below</i>) <br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Presented by:</span> </b>Tripoli International School Teachers (Donia El Ibdaa): Graham and Wendy Lind<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Synopsis</span></b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Subject: </b>Fun in the classroom – Think Experiential. Using indoor and outdoor experiential learning activities as an integral part of Language learning.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A fun “Ice-breaker” will start the session followed by a communication intensive team task in which team-based mildly competitive action and removal of some senses (eg sight) creates a situation where verbal communication is absolutely essential.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A guided discussion will break down the dynamics of this activity and build a basic “model” for using experiential learning in many learning areas. A simple model of “Planning by outcome” will be discussed so that participants can “do this at home”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sources of ideas for activities will be presented and participants will be shown where to find ideas, resources and most importantly – how to create, develop, adapt their own ideas and thus use Experiential learning to enhance language and other learning. </div>
<br />

This can happen at the beginning of a class when students are arriving, when a class that is underway is interrupted for some reason, or at the end of a class when students begin to think about leaving. When dead time occurs, often the best option is to present a short, interesting activity that lasts for only a few minutes, but allows that time to be used productively. This session will consider how to derive maximum benefit from the use of warm-ups, fillers, and wrap-ups, and will provide teachers with an extensive array of short exercises they can use in their classes.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><b><i>Presented by:</i></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>John Harrington</b> has a Master of Arts degree in Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language from the University of Colorado and a Doctor's degree that was awarded by Baker University.
