Description

This dynamic workshop explores experience-based learning that transcends the textbook to foster interaction and participation in EFL classrooms. Drawing on data from a Korean winter camp, it showcases how British advertisements inspire task-based activities, such as storytelling and role-play, that spark student motivation, boost peer interaction, and naturally present real-world language in use. Findings highlight how authentic, creative tasks enhance communication skills and promote intercultural understanding through inclusive, real-world learning experiences. Participants will engage with the underlying theory and actively take part in the featured tasks.
