Morning Presentation 10:00-12:00
Tim Thompson (KAIST) "Group projects for team building in EFL classes"
Rapport in the classroom is important between teachers and students but also among the students themselves. In this presentation, Tim Thompson will first describe his Apprentice English class which helps students build rapport through outside-of-classroom projects that are reported on and discussed during actual classes. Through these experiences, the students can gain practical skills in addition to the opportunity to practice using the target language and gain valuable teamwork skills which will assist them in the real world. Teamwork skills such as accountability, leadership, task delegation, and time management will be highlighted. Tim will also outline his English Communication class which is a required course for university freshmen at KAIST. He wanted to build the course around 3 Ps: practical, portfolios, and perpetual. Group projects were used to achieve all of these objectives. The projects will be described and examples will be given.
