ELTTed Talk Ireland 2021

Presenter:

Mahinour Ragheb, ELC Academic Coordinator
Mahinour presented on Using AudionBooks in Class. During the presentation, Mahinour focused on two objectives: to introduce teachers to the idea of using audiobooks in class, and how to integrate audiobooks in lesson plans.
Mahinour discussed how most students do not read any more, due to various reasons. To begin with, some students find reading difficult. Furthermore, students are not sure of what to read. Finally, films and T.V shows have replaced books. Mahinour talked about how teachers could motivate students to read through incorporating audiobooks in ELT classes, and how audiobooks are suitable for children, young learners and learners with additional needs. She explored different ways of exploiting audiobooks in ELT classes. At the end of the talk, attendees learnt how to design an activity where students create play/skit after listening and perform them to the class.
