We are excited to welcome back Professor Hayo Reinders to the KUIS campus from Monday, September 11. He will be available for consultations and research advice (information on meeting with him will be sent to KUIS faculty and staff later). While he is here, Hayo will also be offering the following workshop:
Learner Engagement: What it is and How to Measure it
In this practical workshop we will explore the concept of learner engagement. We will discuss its vital importance in language acquisition as well as consider its many manifestations. Next, we will look at ways in which we as teachers and researchers can recognise, measure and acknowledge its presence in our classes.
Date / Time: Thursday September 14, 16:00-17:00
Location: 8-116 (middle of KUIS 8)
This workshop is open to all KUIS faculty, staff, and students.
