Oxford University Press zaprasza Państwa na

konferencję z udziałem legendarnego Michaela Swana,
najwybitniejszego specjalisty w dziedzinie nauczania gramatyki języka angielskiego,
autora biblii anglisty - Practical English Usage - oraz wielu innych bestsellerów.

Kraków, 30 listopada 2011 r. w ramach XVII Forum Nauczycieli
Warszawa, 1 grudnia 2011 r.
Gdańsk 2 grudnia 2011 r.

W programie:

1. What is happening to English, and how much does it matter?
Do you care about the threat to the apostrophe? How do you feel about ‘Between you and I'? Do you twitch at sentences like 'If you’d have asked me I’d have told you’? or 'Charles is understanding French a lot better since he went to France'? Would you burst into tears if somebody said 'He was like, well, I better go home now'?
English, like all languages, is in constant flux. The talk will consider:
 the meaning of 'correctness'
 changes in modern English, and the various reasons for them
 ways of keeping track of what is going on
 how much emphasis we should give to correctness in language teaching
 the importance (or not) of native-speaker models for learners.

2. Grammar doesn't have to be grey
A survey of the principles involved in the design of grammar-teaching and practice materials, including:
- what makes a good explanation
- the use of colour support; other visual support
- the ratio of explanatory to practice material
- the role of inductive exercises
- combining grammar with vocabulary work
- personalisation
- the importance of variety
Examples will be taken from the new Oxford English Grammar Course.
