E4.512-2667: Fuel Engagement with Humour 06. 03. 2017 | 19:00h - 20:30h CET Rita Zeinstejer / Host. Peggy George access link: https://webconf.vc.dfn.de/humour Info: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8905964/Breeze/Rita_humour.pdf “Fuel Engagement with Humour” Apart from the fun factor, humour can : • be an effective way to engage students and activate learning • allow the student to feel a part of the class and possibly contribute without losing face, feeling exposed or vulnerable • be of particular importance in a communicative classroom, where the accent is on verbal authentic communication, participation and interaction.
This webinar will intend to: • dispel the myth that teachers must also be “comedians” to use humour in a language classroom successfully, with lots of examples and activities. • emphasize the integration of humour to reduce tension, improve classroom climate, increase enjoyment, increase student-teacher rapport and even facilitate learning • provide clear, practical examples of how and where to integrate humour into the classroom using different webtools.
