Practice What You Preach by Lisa Phillips
Practising what you preach is an exploration of teaching beliefs. What beliefs do we hold about teaching? Which theories do they relate to and do they hold up in our classroom practice? How can we explore the synthesis between what we believe and what we do and if they don't match up how can we redress the situation?

Have you ever had a learner who has been taking classes for a while and yet still bemoans the fact that English speakers eat their words or that listening is too difficult? This is quite a common complaint and can lead to frustration for learners of even higher levels. But what can we, as teachers, do about it? How can we try to help them? We have listening in our lessons and the learners seem to get the majority of the questions right each time, so surely they are ok at listening, right? This webinar looks at why this might not actually be the case and what might be causing the learners' problems in the first place. We'll look at some aspects of listening that are often neglected in class, such as the importance of pronunciation and priming, before I suggest some activities and approaches to teaching listening that aim to help the learners develop their skills, rather than simply practice them.

The IH Director of Studies Course, delivered online, has 13 units, each devoted to one aspect of an academic manager role. This includes appraisals, teacher development programmes, and observation. Each is presented and backed up with theory. 👉 http://ihworld.info/OTTI-DOS
