Speaker
Description
English is often seen by students as a low priority. With a stale, TOEFL-focused curriculum further hindering engagement, the first-grade English program at a private medical university was reimagined. An output-oriented approach was introduced to foster creativity, purposeful language use, and long-term engagement while developing a library of reading and listening resources based on student work. This presentation shares how a curriculum can balance institutional demands with student needs through practical, low-resource publishing and podcasting.
