This webinar is part of the "Shaping the Way We Teach English” webinar series brought to you by the American English team. For more resources to teach and learn English, visit http://americanenglish.state.gov For teachers new to the classroom or veterans who merely want a "refresher", this webinar focuses on how to conduct needs assessments for English language learning. We discuss student motivation, learning styles and differentiated instruction, among other topics. Additionally, we explore ways to address the needs of each individual learner through specific strategies such as: using graphic organizers for vocabulary growth and critical thinking, developing scaffolded lesson plans, and managing diverse classrooms. Viewers will have the opportunity to update their current practices after reviewing both historical as well as the most current TEFL concepts.
