Abroad Programs: Utilizing Theory to Support and Affirm LGBTQ Student NarrativesCIEE
This session will discuss the significance of race and queer theories to assist LGBTQ students with their study abroad experiences. Trainings that use these theories inform program participants about how to combat marginalization. Educators have a responsibility to facilitate discussions that explore participants’ personal identities through self-examination and meaningful reflection around how their multiple identities play out within their own culture as well as unfamiliar cultural contexts. This session will highlight how to integrate dialogue about privilege, oppression, and multiple identities into predeparture and re-entry orientations.

Looking In, Looking Out: Learning from Ourselves and OthersJoe McVeigh
In this talk we examine ourselves and our professional learning in two ways: first we look inward, to see what we can learn from within ourselves and ourselves in relation to others; and secondly we look outward to see what we as English language teaching professionals can learn from those outside our field. As English language teachers we naturally turn to others in our profession to help us learn about new developments in the field. Today, we turn our glance first inward, to see what our own reflective practice can teach us. Then we shift our gaze to see how those who are engaged in professions that are entirely different from our own can influence our behaviors in the school and classroom. Our ultimate goal is to connect and engage with our students in such a way that their success comes from our commitment to them with our hearts, as well as our heads.
In today’s world of ELT, more and more teachers are moving up in their schools and joining the ranks of managers and principals. How can aspiring teachers and managers become leaders at their institutions? In this presentation, we will explore some of the skills that teachers need to develop in order to take on leadership roles and become more effective in their work. We will begin with a broad look at qualities of effective leaders in a variety of settings. Then, we will look more closely at some key questions: Is there a difference between management and leadership? What are some of the challenges of supervising others and how can we solve them? How can we mentor, encourage, and motivate others? What are some key communication skills for managers and leaders? Finally, we will look at how leaders can encourage innovation and help guide change in their schools.
Implementing Content-Based Language Instruction in your Classroom Joe McVeigh
This workshop will focus on the needs of teachers using content-based language instruction in the classroom. Participants will learn basic concepts and examine methods to connect and integrate content learning and language instruction. We will look at sample materials and tasks for the classroom and consider how best to structure lessons. We will discuss methods for simplifying content to make difficult ideas easier to understand. We will also focus on the need for attention to subject-specific academic vocabulary. Finally we will look briefly at different models for assessing student work.
Practical Techniques for Teaching Culture in the ClassroomJoe McVeigh
As English language teachers we naturally focus on language itself and how we can help our students learn it better. But research has shown that intercultural competence can be just as important as language ability. How can we become more aware of cultural differences and how can we-and our students-bridge cultural gaps? In this interactive webinar, we will examine some key concepts of intercultural communication and look at some practical ways to help learners communicate more effectively when they interact with those from different cultural backgrounds.
Growing or Enhancing Your Program Based on Sound Development DecisionsJoe McVeigh

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Unit 8 - Information and Communication Technology (Paper I).pdfThiyagu K
This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
4. Have students articulate their
own definition of culture
• Products, practices, and perspectives
• Artifacts, actions, and meanings (Moran, 2001)
• A set of basic ideas, practices, and
experiences that a group of people share
5. Have students articulate their
own definition of culture
• The shared beliefs, norms, and attitudes that
guide a group of people’s behavior and help
explain their world (DeCapua & Wintergerst, 2004)
• “A complex frame of reference that consists of
patterns of traditions, beliefs, values, norms,
symbols, and meanings that are shared to
varying degrees by interacting members of a
community” (Ting-Toomey, 1999)
6. Have students articulate
their own definition of culture (3)
7. Have students articulate their
own definition of culture
Culture = an integrated system of
learned behavior patterns that are
characteristic of the members of any
given society. Culture refers to the total
way of life of particular groups of people.
It includes everything that a group of
people thinks, says, does and makes—
its systems of attitudes and feelings.
Culture is learned and transmitted from
generation to generation (Kohls, 1996)
9. What is identity?
• Our sense of self
• The way we see ourselves as individuals
• The way we interact with others
• Within our first culture and other cultures
10. Ways to categorize identity
• Primary identities and secondary identities
(Ting-Toomey, 1999)
• Primary identities impact our lives ongoing
• Secondary identities are changeable
• Primary: personal identity, gender identity,
cultural identity, and ethnic identity
• Their formation and communication is
interconnected with our culture
11. Personal identity?
• Exists in each human being
• Influences the ways in which we interact
• Affected by our experiences, background, and
personality traits
• Family plays a key role in defining who we are
• Sets us apart from other individuals
12. Age
• Plays out differently in each culture
• High status of the old and respect from the
young in collectivistic cultures
• Age has no status in individualistic cultures
(Gudykunst & Kim, 2003)
13. Social class
• We each belong to one and identify with one
• How viewed depends on one’s place on the
social scale
• Social class structures differ from one society
to another
• Factors of social class identity are similar
across cultures
14. Religion
• Helps define a sense of self and a world view
• Religious beliefs give a sense of place in the
universe
• Interacting with “sacred wisdom” (Samovar & Porter,
2004)
• Gives rise to moral and ethical beliefs and
behaviors
15. Personal identity linkage
• To cultural and social identities
• Threatened cultural identity is an affront to our
sense of self
• People stand up for their country when it’s
disparaged
• Language difficulties threaten personal identity
16. What the teacher can do
• Must have a good sense of their own identity
• Achieved by self-reflection, journaling, talking
• Makes them good models for students
• Use questionnaires, discussions, journaling,
writing assignments, reading/discussion of
essays, stories, biographical writings of others
• Use Activity 2 for student self-exploration
17. Activity 2: Exploring Personal Identity
1. The goal is for students to create a collage to represent their personal
identities. A simple form of collage involves selecting, cutting, and pasting
photographs, printed text, hand-written texts, drawings, digital images
and text onto paper.
2. Prepare a model of the type of collage that you would like to see your
students produce. Show students your collage to introduce the activity.
3. Two weeks before the start of the project, ask the class to bring in
magazines and newspapers with photographs. Encourage students to
bring all types of magazines so that there will be a variety of photographs
and text to choose from.
4. Decide if you want to devote class time to this activity or ask students to
do their collages as homework. Instruct students accordingly.
5. Tell students the project is to make a collage that represents their
personal identity. They should include information they feel represents
who they are, their interests, their views, etc. Point out that they can use
photos, bits of text, their own drawings or writings – anything that helps
portray how they see themselves.
6. Have students bring their completed collages to class. Display them
around the classroom. Ask students to walk around the room and enjoy
the collages. Give the class an opportunity to ask any questions about
their classmates’ collages
19. Gender and Identity
• Influence of individual

have
• Social identity: commonalities with others and
how they see us
• Social roles: the socially expected behavior
patterns we hold
25. Social identity
• Linked to our roles in life: student, teacher,
parent, sibling
• To our physical features: ethnicity, gender, age
• To memberships we hold: organization, club,
political party
26. Social identity
• Children view themselves initially as family
members
• With awareness of social groups, they form
social identities
• Growing older, group memberships expand
based on interests
• In-group membership is key to our identity (Lustig &
Koester, 2003)
27. Social Identity
• Belonging to a cultural group adds to our social
identity
• Learning about our traditions, language, religion,
social structures
• Internalizing our culture’s beliefs we connect and
identify with it
• Groups related to work, religion, or others mold
our social identity
28. Social Roles
• Social structure includes formal rules, behaviors,
social roles
• The roles played contribute to our social identity
• Cultural expectations of how people in a social
position are to behave (DeCapua & Wintergerst, 2004)
• Some social roles are given to us: gender, age,
social status
• Others depend on actions gained by: education,
hard work, marriage
29. Aspects of social role identity
• Differences in the level of formality
• Degree of hierarchy in role relationships
• Status or relative position of importance
• Certain forms of address make roles explicit
30. What the teacher can do
• Call attention to the many groups to which
students belong
• Point out the function of roles as part of social
identity
• Use Activity 4 to help students recognize what
social identity is
• Role play allows students to get a sense of the
concept
31. Activity 4
• Activity 4 Exploring social identity and roles
• Make copies of the handout. Pass them out to the class.
• Explain the concept of a role play. Students choose a character and role-play how
this person would act in the situation. Remind students that they are taking on the
character's social identity and social role. Have them think about any differences in
social status of the characters, etc. Provide a model by demonstrating one of the role
plays with a student in front of the class.
• Form pairs and assign role plays. Ask students to imagine what the character is like
based on her social identity and role. They might invent the name and age of the
character, where she is from, and what she looks like.
• Give the class time to practice. Walk around and provide feedback as needed.
• Have students act out their role plays in front of the class.
• To finish the activity, ask the class to discuss the following questions:
– How did you feel about taking on the role of another person? What was easy about the
role? What was difficult?
– How was it different when you switched roles?
• What ideas or thoughts do you have about culture and identity after role-playing your
character(s)?
33. Cultural identity

identity
• Strength varies
• Positive and negative perceptions
34. Cultural identity
• Sense of self
• Strength of identification
• Individualism vs.collectivism

35. Activity 5: Dimensions of cross cultural
identity
• Make copies of the handouts for Activity 5
• Review with students that a critical incident is a cross-
cultural problematic situation. The incidents are concerned
with various dimensions of culture. Inform the students that
there is no right or wrong answer, but that there are
solutions.
• Ask students to work in groups of 3-4. Pass out the
handouts. Assign each group one critical incident. Have
students read the critical incidents and questions and
discuss what they think caused the conflict.
• If a group finishes early, assign them another critical
incident.
• As a class, discuss each critical incident, the solutions from
each group, and the area of cultural conflict manifested.
Share possible interpretations with the class if none of the
groups have already suggested them.
36. 6. Identify cultures as either
individualistic or collectivistic
www.flickr.com/photos/elvire-r/2451784799/
37. Individualistic / Collectivistic
• Cultural identity deals with the nature of the
culture in which we find our identity
• Individualism – primary importance is on the
individual
• Collectivism - the well-being of the group
takes priority
• Implications for how students learn
• Relationship between the individual and the
group at the heart of identity (Hofstede, et al., 2002)

39. Predictors of individualism-
collectivism
• Economic development:
– Wealthy cultures tend to be individualistic
– Poor cultures tend to be collectivistic
• Climate:
– Cultures in colder climates tend to be
individualistic
– Cultures in warmer climates tend to be
collectivistic
40. Effects on student learning
• learning style preferences - (Ehrman & Oxford, 1990)
• English speakers rated individual learning highest; ESL
students did not (Reid, 1987)
• American students studying a foreign language preferred
individual work; ESL counterparts preferred group work
(Wintergerst, et al., 2002)
• Russian ESL/EFL students and Asian (Chinese, Korean,
and Japanese) ESL students preferred group work over
individual work (Wintergerst, et al., 2003)
• Chinese learning is characterized by cooperation (Nelson,
1995)
41. What the teacher can do
• Ask students to think about their own culture
and identify their cultural characteristics
• Bring in readings illustrative of individualism
and collectivism, i.e., short stories or articles
• Refer advanced students to Lustig and Koester’s
Intercultural competence: Interpersonal communication
across cultures, pg. 125, which gives 69 country
ratings on the individualism-collectivism
dimension adapted from Hofstede
42. Activity 6: Alone or with others?
• Present the concept of individualistic and collectivistic
cultures. Draw a continuum showing the characteristics
of each type culture.
• Write the students' home countries on the board. Ask
students if they think their own culture is more
individualistic or collectivistic.
• Ask students to think of examples of phrases,
expressions, situations, or proverbs that illustrate either
the collectivistic or individualistic nature of their culture.
Write examples on the board: The nail that stands up will
be hammered down. The squeaky wheel gets the
grease. All for one and one for all.
• To finish the activity, have volunteers share their ideas
with the class.
43. Examples
• Strongly Individualistic United States
•Somewhat Individualistic Switzerland
• Neutral Japan, Russia
• Somewhat Collectivistic China
• Strongly Collectivistic Guatemala
44. Individualistic or collectivistic?
Guess where these countries fall on the chart:
Two are neutral
Two are strongly collectivistic
Two are strongly individualistic
Indonesia, Netherlands, New Zealand,
Pakistan, Spain, Turkey
48. U. S. historical perspective
• Assimilation: melting pot
• Pluralism: salad bowl / mosaic
49. Ethnicity and language
• Emotional connection = solidarity
• Level of identification
• Strength of identity and content may
differ
50. Activity 7 – Ethnic identity in film
• Make copies of the handout. Pass them out to the class.
• Choose a film that highlights ethnic roles within a culture.
Some suggestions are: My Big Fat Greek Wedding
(2002), Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner (1967), Bend it
Like Beckham (2003), Pleasantville (1998), and Witness
(1985).
• Discuss the questions with the class before watching the
movie.
• During the movie, stop as often as necessary to explain
any key plot or language points that may be difficult for
students.
• Form pairs. Have students answer the questions.
• To finish the activity, discuss the answers with the class.
