TESOL Society of Bangladesh organized its fifth session of the “Distinguished Lecture Series” on 22 November 2022 together with the Department of English Studies (DES), State University of Bangladesh (SUB), and Bangladesh English Language Teachers Association (BELTA).
This session was a workshop on “Sustainable Teaching: Engagement Beyond Classroom Walls” by Wendy Ashby (PhD), a U.S. State Department-sponsored English Language Specialist working at the Faculty Support Center at Cochise Community College in Sierra Vista, AZ, USA.
The eye-opening workshop aimed to explore the ways in which English Language teachers can adopt a task-based approach to connect language learning to real-life scenarios. Using task-based products in lesson plans would engage learners better while teaching them how to communicate effectively and in a meaningful way.
Participants included English teachers from across the country and various faculty members from the university. The interactive workshop was packed with group discussions and activities and ended with a thought-provoking question-and-answer session.
