No access. Besides, there's time difference! Google says, the webinar has just started - it's 15:20 GMT (19:20MSK). What to do? It was supposed to be my first at CET. Really disappointed :-(

Really interesting. Made me reflect on several issues abouth teaching English and on how important it is to make the language sound natural and not just 'chalked' in a set of rules. Thank you

What I liked about this talk was that it didn't see special features of Spoken grammar as deviations, but as tools for certain functions that are important for speech, but not for written communications - e.g. managing turns in a conversation, dealing with interruptions, signalling topic at the start of sentence/utterance, etc. Learning how to do this in English is important for any learner.
