| Description | The talk describes the journey of teachers who decided to abandon the traditional topic based syllabus to focus on life skills. We crossed the border between pedagogy and andragogy and moved from atomized language skills practice to task chaining. We will share such examples from courses of Legal English and illustrate how students perceive the variety of teaching methods and types of learning, and how students’ complaints on mixed ability classes miraculously disappeared. |
