NEW DELHI: The British Council here is hosting two development seminars for English language teachers this coming Tuesday and Wednesday. The sessions will be conducted by Mary Spratt, a renowned English language teaching consultant who has co-authored more than 17 books aimed at English language learners and teachers. Through the seminar, Mary Spratt seeks to raise some pertinent questions, including whether it is a mistake to correct mistakes in classrooms! The programme includes a series of interactive presentations for education policy makers and school and college principals. A workshop for teachers will look at techniques for error correction and how and when to use them. "Professional development seminars for English language teachers are important as English is traditionally taught as an academic subject. But now employers are asking for strong skills in English business communication from graduates who are learning English along with other subjects. In schools and colleges up and down the country English teachers are taking a new look at their curriculum and classroom methodology,'' said an organiser.
