Summary

Due to the inherently unpredictable and ad hoc nature of ELF interactions, ELF users employ a host of communication strategies to co-construct meaning and achieve mutual intelligibility (Seidlhofer, 2011). To prepare learners for future ELF encounters, providing them with opportunities to develop these proactive skills in the ELF-aware classroom is essential (Kaur, 2014). To this end, the speaker will discuss examples of materials he has developed, through both explicit and implicit approaches, to promote and assess communicative capability (Widdowson, 2015). He will also report on student feedback and offer his own reflections on the efficacy of the materials and future directions.
