The Secret History of Methods: A Discussion with Scott Thornbury
It is regularly asked "What's the latest method?" suggesting that the concept of method persists, despite recent attempts to bury it. Drawing on a collection of old textbooks and training manuals, the presenter will review the history of language teaching methods, both to critique it, and to draw some lessons from past practices. He will also show how methods can be described in terms of certain key parameters, and address the question as to whether "Dogme ELT" (a new kid on the block) is in fact a method.
Scott Thornbury, associate professor in The New School MA TESOL program, is a prolific writer of books and articles for teachers and students and a tireless presenter at international ELT conference. He is author of Natural Grammar and Grammar (in the Oxford Resource Books for Teachers series) with Oxford University Press.
Co-sponsored by English Language Studies Department and Oxford University Press.

Scott is great.
I know I'm the bad guy, but the women introducing sounds SO artificial and insincere.
