In this activity two presenters collaborate on a single talk on any issue (ELT or non-ELT) for a total of five minutes. However, and this is the important part, each of the presenters must present an alternative view of the theme, ideally a completely different position on it.
For example, “course books are vital to teaching a language” vs. “coursebooks are restrictive and never needs-oriented”, although non-ELT topics are encouraged too. This format encourages interaction and dialogue between presenters, as well as providing different perspectives on the topic.
How it works:
If you, and a colleague or friend, would like to take part, please register your interest below
Things to remember:
1. The presenters can use any props that they want to such as:
• PowerPoints
• a poster
• a video
• items or artefacts
• a song or piece of music.
2. You must provide any props you need but we will have a laptop and projector available on the day.
3. Your topic can be anything at all, it does not have to be ELT-related.
4. The maximum time is five minutes for your duet, and the audience may be quite lively and participatory!
5. We retain the right to decline any proposal for a Dynamic Duet.
