More or less\nTask-based Learning as a recognised methodology finds its place w ithin the communicative language teaching framework. However\, as its titl e suggests\, the task takes centre stage. Most teachers will have used tas k-based activities in their classes\, to a lesser or greater degree\, prob ably without even having been aware that they are doing so.\nIn the planni ng stages of the Heads Up series\, Mark\, Richard and myself were keen to address the real needs non-native English speakers had in becoming operati onal in the language. Between our scores of years as teachers\, trainers a nd examiners we came to the collective decision that unless learners learn t by doing\, they learnt very little at all. Our choice fell on TBL/Task-b ased Learning methodology because it focuses on both accuracy and fluency in spoken English.\nThis talk will look briefly at the theoretical framewo rk of TBL and then will move on to show how it can be used and adapted to fit almost any EFL teaching situation. I will share my own experiences of TBL lessons which can follow the TBL framework in a more or less orthodox way.  Once the trainer has been converted\, the sky’s the limit and les sons become instrumental\, stimulating and motivating\, for both the stude nt and the trainer.\n Louise Green is co-author of the Heads Up\, Spok en English for business series and author of Cult Holiday 1 and 2 for sec ondary school students. Based in Milan\, with the British Council and Inte rnational House\, she has been a Speaking Examiner for all the main suite Cambridge English exams and other top international certifications for the last 20 years.

Never one to shirk work\, on a typical day\, she would go from sin ging “The Wheels on the Bus” with pre-schoolers in the morning to publ ic speaking workshops for businesses in the afternoon. What goes on in the learning world interests her and she is a regular contributor to online m agazines with her ideas.

Conflict is a natural part of our lives\, and\, probably\ , we learned the strategies we do have before the age of 7. This workshop will offer a range of tools and useful skills to help you handle conflict more effectively.\nWhat is conflict? What are the common causes of conflic t? How do we navigate the intersection of logic and emotion? How can we av oid argument traps?\nThis highly interactive and experiential session will give participants a chance to: identify argument traps\, avoid destructiv e communication patterns\, detect potential escalation\, work through diff erences in a respectful manner\, learn the steps to conflict resolution an d the tools to build and maintain close connections.\nPatricia de Griese h as a post graduate degree in Conflict Resolution and Mediation\, she is a Certified Trainer\, Certified Systemic Coach\, Workshop Designer and Facil itator and a NLP Master Practitioner\nPatricia works with multinationals a nd public organizations around the world.

Experience how Real Business English fulfils this goal by trying out some of the act ivities aimed at encouraging learners to talk about their jobs\, departmen ts and worklife. We will be working with material developed with input fro m real international companies and dealing with topics commonly found in c ompanies in various industries. We will also discuss how to generally pers onalise business topics so that they are relevant for all students and why this approach is so motivating for learners.\nSuzanne Vetter-M'Caw became a freelance English trainer and examiner in 2004\, after working for an i nternational company for many years. She specialises in Business English\ , teaching regularly in companies in the Limburg area\, also offering work shops and Experience English Days in her own training rooms.

The purpose of this hands-on workshop is to prov ide fresh ideas on how to revise and recycle lexical chunks your learners come across. Be prepared for a wide variety of activities suitable for dif ferent levels\, ages and learning styles. No time to plan your lesson? The re will be some "last minute" solutions which require a bit of thinking on your feet.
