Developing Language Skills with OPEN MIND The workshop introduces OPEN MIND, its philosophy, methodology and structure; focuses on the unique and unconventional approaches to teaching grammar; provides an insight into the methodological tools based on the complementary language skills development; introduces a three-stage sub-skill mastering approach ending up with a communicative outcome. It imparts first-hand insights on establishing priorities for effective listening strategies when teaching to actively understand information provided by the speaker, make use of productive speaking patterns, and infer opinions and facts. Speaking communicative skills are addressed by presenting and examining a step-by-step model of Speaking Workshops, engaging in group discussions, participating in extended speaking turns.
