About the Workshop:
Students and instructors alike are tired of the limitations and weaknesses of student presentations: frankly speaking, final products that contain too much text on PPT slides, choppy pacing, nervous presenters and bored audiences. While working in teams and following Pechakucha structure guidelines, students may produce the opposite: creative, engaging, text-free (image only), well-placed slideshows that inspire student confidence and captivate the audience. During three separate semesters, students have exceeded my expectations through their highly successful teamwork planning processes and presentation day showcases. This workshop will explain the 3-week project my students have undertaken for the past three spring semesters. Time will be allocated for audience brainstorming in small group breakout rooms, and a Q&A session will conclude the workshop.
About the Presenter:
Hello, I'm John Breckenfeld. I have been living in Korea for ten years. I am currently working at HUFS in Seoul (since 2019) where I teach Communicative English. After working with all ages - from preschoolers to grandparents - I am very grateful to be teaching college students full-time. Their creativity, diligence and positive energy are truly inspiring, and I seek to inspire them in turn. I am thrilled to be a part of KOTESOL, which has been a hugely rewarding source of professional development for me as an educator in S. Korea.
