2. It's good to talk (and listen!) 14.00 – 17.30Sessions 3 & 4: Using authentic resourcesWe will consider the skill of listening, both related to unplanned speaking and also with reference to the opportunities for using authentic materials and encouraging perseverence with listening to longer texts with unfamiliar language.  At the end of the day there will be the opportunity for teachers to work together to develop their own tasks for the classroom. 09.00 – 12.30Session 1: Whole class talk Session 2: Peer / group talkThe day's workshop will focus on the development of speaking skills.  In particular we will explore the opportunities for developing spontaneous, unplanned classroom talk.  From a theoretical starting point we will quickly progress to practical examples of work in the classroom, looking at a range of speaking tasks and strategies that promote unplanned target language, both in teacher-fronted whole class interaction and in pair and group activities.

11. 1 Hotseating ❶ My name is Julian and I’m fifteen years old. I live with my parents and my sister in the centre of Manchester. My school is quite near, and so I normally walk or go by bike. When the weather’s bad, I go by bus. My sister is lazier than me and she always goes by bus. ❷ My school is a state, mixed comprehensive school. There are 600 pupils and at least 60 teachers. In my opinion the teachers are really nice, although there are a few who are very strict. The school has some really excellent facilities. For example, there are two pools and eight tennis courts. There’s also an athletics track and several football and rugby pitches. I’m interested in sports but I don’t play in any team, although last weekend I took part in a swimming competition. My sister hates football – she prefers playing on the computer! ❸ ❹ What I most like about school is the main hall because it’s very big. My favourite subject is drama because it’s really fun and I’m a very creative person. Six months ago we went to Stratford for a weekend with school. On the Saturday evening a group of pupils went to the cinema but I went with a different group to see a Shakespeare play. The theatre was very large and it was an excellent experience. ❺ The truth is I don’t like languages very much. Next March I’m going to France with the school. I’m going to spend a week with a French family and I will have to speak French the whole time. I’m very scared!
