Connecting University Classrooms to a Language Interaction Space

Learners speaking together in English doesn’t need to stop at the classroom door! This presentation introduces task-based, communicative activities that can connect a university classroom to any ‘language interaction space’ - a resource-light, activity-focused interaction space that could be an empty classroom, a teachers’ office, a self-access center, or a corner of a cafeteria. These activities stretch the classroom walls, and scaffold learners towards greater learning independence.
