the listening process and (b) participating in various listening activities and
games. In addition, teachers will be able to help their students develop
strategies in acquiring meaning from spoken English and develop good
conversation skills through fun exercises. Therefore, students are able to (1)
demonstrate active listening skills, (2) increase understanding of spoken
English, and (3) speak English more naturally by learning basic patterns of
speech.
Target Audience: All English teachers
at ALL levels.

c) Consciousness-Based
Education
by Ashley Deans
A Simple
Solution to the Fundamental Problems in Education
Consciousness-Based education offers, in addition to the study of
traditional academic disciplines, technologies of consciousness, including the
Transcendental Meditation technique, that unlock the hidden reserves of the
brain. Extensive scientific research, together with direct application in
hundreds of schools and colleges worldwide, confirms that students receiving a
Consciousness-Based education exhibit increased receptivity, creativity, and
intelligence, together with reduced stress and anxiety. The result is superior
academic outcomes, better health, and improved social behavior.
