IATEFL BESIG Webinar: CEFR - Business English, Win-win Situation
Date:
14 June 2020
Join us online on Sunday, 14 June, at 3pm BST (2pm UTC) for a webinar titled “CEFR – Business English, Win-win Situation” with Maha Hassan.
Common European Framework of Reference for Languages takes an innovative stance to seeing learners as language users and social agents and thus seeing language as a vehicle for communication rather than as a subject of study.
In my presentation, I will talk about the new CEFR revisions and how they can benefit teachers to help their students promote better understanding of other cultures whether abroad or even among their classes. I will especially refer to the descriptors used to help guide teachers along the way and how to assess the development of their students in that concern. Not only that, but to help them “develop their awareness and competence in that area.” In addition to that, I intend to highlight the importance of all this to Business English teaching and how the idea of mediation can greatly help.
