Hence\, we now operate in what is called the post-method era. Yet methods formerly provided teachers with a certain sense of security\, a role which perhaps coursebooks now fulfil. This security is illusory\, though\, if it is not grounded in some basic principles of learning and education\, principles that I will attempt to identify\, and which (I will argue) constitute a blueprint for a coherent approach to language teaching. \nAbout the speaker: \nScott Thornbury is a teacher and teacher educator\, with over 30 years experience in English language teaching\, and an MA from the University of Reading. He is currently Curriculum Coordinator of the MA TESOL program at The New School in New York. His previous experience includes teaching and teacher training in Egypt\, UK\, Spain (where he lives)\, and in his native New Zealand. His writing credits include several award-winning books for teachers on language and methodology\, as well as authoring a number of papers and book chapters on language and language teaching. He is series editor for the Cambridge Handbooks for Teachers (CUP). He is also the co-founder of the dogme ELT group and\, currently\, he is an associate of the International Teacher Development Institute (iTDi)\, an online campus dedicated to teacher development. \nhttp://www.britishcouncil.am/en/events/teacher-educator-scott-thornbury-armenia URL:https://newsroom.aua.am/event/seven-things-beginning-with-m-2/ LOCATION:Alex and Marie Manoogian Hall\, PAB\, 40 Marshal Baghramyan Ave\, Yerevan\, Armenia CATEGORIES:Center for Research in Applied Linguistics END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
