Classroom Activities that Spark Communication

The communicative methodology is a long-lasting trend in ELT. Everybody knows that effective learning must be communicative. How do we know that our teaching is communicative? What is a communicative task, and how can we turn coursebook activities into relevant practice that feeds and stimulates communication in learning?

In this webinar, Lidiya Simak shared her views on what real-life communication in the classroom should be like, explored the difference between an activity that is communicative and not, and shared her insights into how to make tasks more productive and beneficial for students from the language use point of view.
