PresentERs - Paul McAleese: Integrating ER in a University English course

We will have a short talk about Extensive Reading from one of our members or from the wider ER community on Sunday 28 January 19:00-20:00. The event will involve a short 20-30 minute casual talk from our PresentER, followed by around 20-30 minutes of questions and discussion. PresentERs takes place on the last Sunday of each month online on Zoom. It is free for anyone to attend.

This month’s PresentER is Paul McAleese. Paul’s talk will reflect on how ER was integrated into a University English Communication course over five years including some of the more successful in-class and online components. It will cover specifics of using post-reading activities where students shared book recommendations through simple mini-poster presentations, speed-mingle activities and weekly ‘book-club’ discussions. After the presentation, there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
