The document outlines a series of workshops from September 2011 to April 2012 on incorporating 21st century skills into foreign language classrooms. It describes 14 sessions that will cover topics like creativity, critical thinking, communication, media literacy, and flexibility. The schedule for one of the sessions is provided, which includes activities like reading sample work, group discussions, and a presentation on flexibility and adaptability. Some examples are given of projects teachers could implement to develop students' flexibility, such as having them plan visits and meals for senior citizens in the target language community or simulate travel planning with unexpected changes.

Unleashing learners VALA Conference June 13 2014Adrian Bertolini
How do we unleash our students to find their passion, to be intrinsically motivated, to become entrepreneurial? It not only requires an unleashing of the mindset and beliefs of the students but also the mindset and beliefs of teachers and school leadership. In this session the presenter will share his experiences of unleashing young people via the ruMAD (Are you Making a Difference) program but how he followed his passion to work with schools to think from, plan for, and gradually set up learning environments that unleash learning in schools.
The Christopher Stevens Youth Network/CE2.0 –iEARN Jordan Workshop
February 23rd, 2013
iEARN-Jordan conducted a training workshop on February 23rd, 2013 as part of the Christopher Stevens Youth Network: Global Connections 2.0. Fifteen educators from Jordan, Kuwait and the USA participated in the workshop. Ms. Khitam Al-Utaibi, iEARN-Jordan Representative delivered the training on two parts. The first part of the workshop was about learning what is iEARN and take a tour in some of the 300 online projects. After teachers were introduced to iEARN, they had hands on training on some of the essential aspects in Project-Based Learning as well as engaging teachers in some activities related to building skills in grouping strategies, debate strategies and tuning protocols in projects. iEARN International celebrates this year its 25th Anniversary and iEARN-Jordan celebrated this occasion with all participants in the presence of all attendees with a cake that has the logos of the US Department of State, iEARN-Jordan, GCE and the iEARN International logo for the 25th Anniversary.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Enriched Learning Projects
by James Bellanca
“I have designed Enriched Learning Projects to be a useful tool for
teachers who appreciate the value and benefit of learning
experiences based in projects, who want the best learning for their
students, and who value 21st century learning”.
5
6. THINK/PAIR/SHARE
• How do I develop my students’ critical and
creative thinking skills, their problem-solving
skills, and their skills for collaborating and
communicating when I am charged with
developing daily instruction in an ever-
expanding, standards-aligned curriculum heavy
with important content?
• How do I help my students develop their ability to
read more and more complex materials without
sacrificing the key elements of my foreign
language profession?
• How do I squeeze technology into this jam-
packed daily schedule? 6
7. Enriched Learning Model
1. Researched-based
a. Research identifies the best chances to raise student
achievement
2. Purposeful use of technology
a. Technology promotes students’ learning efficiency
3. The priority of self-assessment
a. Students have the primary responsibility for improving
how they learn
4. Learning from doing
a. Extends students’ reflections
5. 2lst century skill development
a. Students know how to think, cooperate, and
collaborate more skillfully 7
12. Flexibility & Adaptability
• EXAMPLE: Students visit a local
community center for senior citizens who
speak the target language. They
research foods that represent the
cultures of the native language and reach
consensus on two snacks to prepare and
serve during their visit. They serve the
snacks to the senior citizens while
engaging them in conversation about
their native country.
12
13. Flexibility & Adaptability
• EXAMPLE: Working in small groups, each group is
assigned a city located in the target culture.
Students plan a trip to their specific city. Each day of
the unit the instructor gives the group a travel
problem to solve. Using their own knowledge, the
knowledge of their group members, or knowledge
acquired digitally, each group solves the problem to
their own satisfaction and reports their solution to
class. The next "day” in the sequence, the instructor
gives them back their solution, and adds a
complication or factor that makes the original
solution unworkable or now inappropriate. The group
solves the new problem based on the additional
information and reports out.

15. An Idea for Flexibility
and Adaptability
Your school is holding a Iron Chef contest and your
team must prepare for the event by submitting a test
recipe. You are given a list of (4, 5) ingredients in
the target culture and must investigate possible
delicious dishes that will contain these ingredients.
Each member of the team will need to research
several possible recipes in the target language for
one of the ingredients. On the day of the event, the
sponsor texts your group to let you know that two of
the ingredients have been substituted thirty minutes
before the competition. Do some quick online
searching to come up with some new ideas.

16. Tools for Flexibility
and Adaptability
• Use of Google to find alternatives –
using TL Google sites
• Use of twitter to track down
information, inform others, register a
complaint using #
• Finding alternative vocabulary online
• Others?
