Title:
Building Dynamic and Visual Reading Classrooms with The National Geographic Footprint Reading Library
Presenter:
Torben K. Nielsen, ELT Product Specialist for Grater China, CENGAGE Learning
Abstract:
This short presentation will introduce teachers to the amazing sights and sounds of the new National Geographic
Footprint Reading Library, a brand new 8 leveled graded reader series from Heinle-CENGAGE Learning. The Footprint
Reading Library is the first non-fiction reading series for English language learners to present real-world stories in print,
audio, and DVD based on the National Geographic Digital Media videos starting at the elementary to advanced level.
The 100 titles of the Footprint Reading Library, focusing on key vocabulary from the Academic Word List (AWL), are
designed for both intensive and extensive reading and are perfect for supplementing coursebooks to bring your
classrooms to life!
Inspired by National Geographic, teachers can now explore English language learning and support graded reading
through visual learning with the beauty of the world in which we live in.

Title: ‘Interactive’ Listening Strategies – The How & Why?
Presenter: Torben K. Nielsen
Abstract:
Classroom instruction in Taiwan increasingly emphasizes the improvement of listening skills with listening
comprehension being a part of the General English Proficiency Test (GEPT). However, we would be wrong to believe
that by simply providing learners only with endless material modeled exactly on exams, and to insist that only “more
listening practice” would adequately prepare their students. Instead, they will require step-by-step training to acquire
the specific strategies they need to be skilled listeners and speakers.
To provide superior instruction and keep learners motivated, students need a new paradigm through which to view the
acquisition of essential listening skills. In this workshop, the presenter will describe how students must learn to carefully
interact with the messages they hear in a variety of ways and circumstances. Workshop attendees will be introduced to
how the teaching of selected listening & speaking strategies are necessary for learners to internalize to become
‘interactive listeners’ and achieve their ultimate goal: acquiring communicative competence.
