This page has support materials I made for workshops I did for my own students as well as student interns at JALT 2016, FAB 10 in Macau, FAB 9 in Cebu and the  FAB8 conference in Kyoto. Communicative English classes tend to be brain friendly. Many other university class-- not so much.  The sessions are essentially about student autonomy -- how to take the input and reframe it in ways that help you learn. 
Click HERE for the on-line version (a PowerPoint download) of the handout.

Marc's powerpoint for the session is HERE./uploads/1/1/2/5/11251138/ss_diy_guide_edit.pptx  I think the powerpoint will only make sense if you have read the handout.

HERE_ is the printable version of the handout for a session on ways to "reframe" information during "lecture" classes where all the teacher does is talk.
