1. Lawrie Hunter Kochi University of Technology http://www.core.kochi-tech.ac.jp/hunter/ Concept mapping: styles, techniques and language tasks JALTCALL June 6, 2009

2. This workshop will lead the participants through the use of two styles of mapping: (1) Novakian mapping, using Cmap tools, a free and very usable software with web sharing built in; and (2) Hunter's infostructure mapping, using PowerPoint or other graphical software. These important questions will be addressed: (1) which kind of mapping to use for different instructional purposes; (2) when to do mapping electronically and when by hand; and (3) how to go beyond "I do mapping in my class" by means of various constraints and techniques that lead the learner to the use of specific language forms and patterns.

3. OUTLINE for today 1. Novakian mapping 2. Hunter ’ s ISmapping* *Information Structure mapping, where information structures are description, comparison, classification, sequence, cause-effect.
