1st ELT Malta Conference: Current Trends in ELT 14-
                15 September 2012
• So each of us CAN help one another by -- stopping a
  moment of a our day --- to change for the better someone
  else's 'blind world'. . . for a day . . .

• My teacher showed this and now I just can’t stop watching
  it!!!!

• Reminds me of when I gave a homeless blind man 75 cents
  in Chicago

• I thought why can’t they at least put the money in the can
  too, but at least after the change they took the time to bend
  down and place the monet instead of throwing it

• Just beautiful!!
Power of words
Headlines
• go to war
• Shakira and Antonito go to war.
• Boost
• Games boost UK employment figures
Places
• Fort St Elmo, Knights of St John, Mdina
Words with evocative meaning
• dark horse, unleashing

© Campaign for Disability, Lyndsey Clandfield
Which clip do the phrases come from.
                Write C for ‘close my eyes’ and I for ‘I can’

____ Can’t believe what we’ve done.
____ I can boost your bottom line.
____ I can’t believe how far we’ve come.
____ I’m feeling so free.
____ If you don’t have an open mind.
____ If you don’t recognise my talents and ability.
____ It’s what people can do that matters.
____ Open my heart.

© Campaign for Disability, Lyndsay Clandfield
Which video was more effective? Why?



Do you think this is an important message?
‘See the person first, not the disability’
Is this hard for most non-disabled people?
7 billion
• How long would it take you to count to 7 billion?
• What could the population be by 2045?
• How many people are born every second?
• How long did the average person live in 1960?
• If 7 billion people stood shoulder to shoulder, which city
  would they fill?
• How many megacities were there in 1975? Which were
  they? How many now?
• What percentage of the population don’t have adequate
  sanitation?
• How many languages do we speak in the world?

Guardian Women 100
A celebration of the centenary of International Women's Day.

•   Aung San Suu Kyi? Oprah Winfrey? Tanni Grey-Thompson? JK Rowling?
    Margaret Thatcher?

•   Women make up between __% and __% of the world's poor, illiterate and
    refugee populations.

•   A girl growing up in _____ today has about the same chance of dying
    while giving birth as she has of going to secondary school.

•   While girls often do better than boys at school, women working full-time
    in the UK are paid on average less per hour than men – 40 years after the
    Equal Pay Act – and fill just ____% of boardroom posts in leading
    companies.
•   Women make up between 70% and 80% of the world's poor, illiterate
    and refugee populations.

•   A girl growing up in Chad today has about the same chance of dying
    while giving birth as she has of going to secondary school.

•   While girls often do better than boys at school, women working full-
    time in the UK are paid on average less per hour than men – 40 years
    after the Equal Pay Act – and fill just 12.5% of boardroom posts in
    leading companies.
• Shirin Ebadi, the human rights activist and
  first Muslim woman to win the Nobel prize,
  has already won recognition.

• Others are less well known: the Indian
  lawyer who took on the case of a destitute
  woman who died giving birth in a Delhi
  street and won a landmark ruling from the
  high court last year for women in a similar
  position.
Reader’s response
• I vote Lorella Zanardo because she is doing a fantastic job to
  educate Italian adolescents to watch tv in a discerning way,
  which is something missing completely in Italian schools. She
  is now an "Internet star" and travels the world with her
  documentary, Il corpo delle donne, about the mis-representation
  and stereotypes of women's bodies on the Italian tv. If you
  haven't done it yet please watch it. In a country dominated by
  Berlusconi's media and vision Lorella, a woman like us but with
  a big vision, is making a difference. Her educational project is
  almost totally self financed.
• Big Boy. Rapero, 19 años
• "Deseo que el mensaje del rap se aproxime a los
  jóvenes para concienciar y progresar juntos en un
  futuro mejor. Estas ideas constructivas harán mis
  sueños realidad". El rap es un estilo proscrito. Big
  Boy y la veintena de sus compañeros están
  condenados a la clandestinidad y las autoridades
  tratan de desprestigiarles
• Sami Mosayevi. Artista, 27 años
• "Me gustaría retomar mis alas y sentirme
  libre para viajar a cualquier lugar del
  mundo, sin pertenecer a ninguna parte.
  Querría probarlo todo". Las aficiones o la
  vocación de uno también chocan a menudo
  con el muro de las prohibiciones.
• Naser. Futbolista, 24 años
• "Mi vida es el fútbol y mi sueño sería jugar
  en la liga profesional en Europa". El 70%
  de la población iraní tiene menos de 30
  años.
Thank you for coming and hope I’ve changed
              your perspective!!

  • 23. Reader’s response • I vote Lorella Zanardo because she is doing a fantastic job to educate Italian adolescents to watch tv in a discerning way, which is something missing completely in Italian schools. She is now an "Internet star" and travels the world with her documentary, Il corpo delle donne, about the mis-representation and stereotypes of women's bodies on the Italian tv. If you haven't done it yet please watch it. In a country dominated by Berlusconi's media and vision Lorella, a woman like us but with a big vision, is making a difference. Her educational project is almost totally self financed.

  • 32. • Naser. Futbolista, 24 años • "Mi vida es el fútbol y mi sueño sería jugar en la liga profesional en Europa". El 70% de la población iraní tiene menos de 30 años.
