Traditional EFL education leaves most students ill-prepared for real life English outside their classrooms. In the "real world" language flows as a living part of human communication and cultural forms of expression (e.g., in movies, music, literature, poetry, the internet and television). This workshop will explore how we can help our students to successfully navigate authentic language situations and culture.
