English as a foreign language teaching techniques

Webinar: Bringing EFL reading instruction up to date.
Recorded in September 2023

In this session, Robin Skipsey discusses evidence-informed teaching techniques for first-language readers and how these could be applied to help EFL students.

A lot of EFL reading pedagogy is still based on popular ideas from the 1970s, such as speed-reading techniques and the concept of reading as a “psycholinguistic guessing game” (Goodman, K. S. (1967)). However, since then research and evidence has upended these ideas and suggested alternatives. Unfortunately, much of the research has struggled to make it across the first-language reading – EFL divide.
