Improvised Principled Eclecticism - a dogme research project - Chia Suan Chong
My talk will focus on the results of a coursebook vs dogme research project based
on my own experiences with language learning and my approach to dogme where I
work mainly with student output, authentic materials and personalised stories. I
apply this approach to both general English

Congrats, Chia!
Wonderful presentation. You are so enthusiastic! Your sts must love you.
I think dogme(dogma?) could go some way in classrooms with limited resources, even though they tend to be overcrowded as well, which could be a drawback.

Hi Chia,
I missed the first live 15 minutes of your talk and I'm so glad I can watch it all here. The stages of your experience using dogme was something I missed. It is very interesting and reminds me now of the Plenary session by Tessa Woodward: The Professional Life Cycles of Teachers.
Your personality and speaking style is very entertaining.
It is too bad the questions and answers after your talk were not recorded. They too were very interesting.
I remember some discussion on Twitter about how to pronounce dogme. I guess it is like toe-may-toe toe-mah-toe at this point, don't you think?

Hi Chia,
Great presentation. Totally agree about this blurring of the distinction between fluency and accuracy activities. As a language learner it's useful to be able to decide yourself what you want to get out of an activity, and dogme, to a certain extent, allows this.
All the best,
Nick
