It goes without saying that listening is a fundamental part of language teaching, a modality that is most frequently used in the social aspect. It has been estimated that adults spend almost half their communication time listening and students may receive as much as 90 percent of their-in-school information through listening to teachers and to peers.

Listening has many different levels and not all listening can be viewed the same; casual greetings, for example, require a different sort of listening capability than do academic lectures. Language learning is different in that it is important for listening to be intentional, employing strategies for recognising sounds and then making meaning from them.

Having successfully staged South Africa’s first-ever educational resource exhibition, in 2011, Exposure Marketing, organisers of Future Ed, are all set for their 2012 show which takes place from 19th -21st July at the Coca Cola Dome in Johannesburg. This means that 2012 rate cards and floor plans are now available and the Future Ed sales team are eagerly waiting to assist you.

Future Ed, aims to showcase solutions that have the potential to improve the future of education in South Africa by bringing together educators, curriculum advisors and developers, governing bodies, special needs educators and parents all under one roof.

Deadline of full paper/abstract submission: February 20th, 2012

Planning for Future Ed 2012’s interactive seminar and workshop series is now underway. We’re looking for dynamic, credible, impactful and passionate educators to lead discussions on pertinent themes around teaching, learning and parenting in South Africa.

Future Ed’s seminar and workshop programme provides educators with a broad selection of insightful and enjoyable learning opportunities and we invite you to contribute.

We invite you to propose a seminar, workshop, discussion session, themed networking event, poster session, conference – or any other kind of session you think will add value to the Future Ed experience.
