Tom Randolph in Yogyakarta

I was not on the loop for too long,
or it was Tom's way not to brag about what he was doing,
except from the CC I got when he sent email to Mike or Damon.
But I got emails from friends telling me how baneficial it was to join Tom's series of workshops in Gajah Mada University. Then, I dared myself to ask him about the series. My friends who joined the workshops promised to write back with fuller report soon. Tom sent me a short email about the coming series.

Here is a cut-paste of parts of his email:

April 3, the workshop will be on the topic of " "Teaching the Productive Skills, II", with a focus on process writing/academic writing, and "drama" techniques.
I do not recall the next one, but it will be April 17, and in May on Assessment principles.

Attendance has been pretty solid,with 25 being the quiet end and 45 in a torrential downpour last Monday (Active Grammar and Vocabulary) being a recent triumph. Like your roundtables, topic choice does have something to do with it, I guess.

Generally there'sabout a half hour of lecture, a half hour of me leading workshop activities, and then a couple of hours of small-group brainstorming/activity planning, followed by six or seven microteachings by participants of the whole group, and fun Socratic feedback while we go, so microteachings get better and better as we go along.

From me, this is something really great worth to know.
Great job, Tom. Hope I hear more.

Cheers,
