Presentazione del 22 novembre 2010 al convegno "VERSO LA GREEN LOGISTICS - dallo sviluppo del sistema degli interporti al rilancio del trasporto ferroviario cargo", organizzato da Shipping Tech
When I was working at a private language school in London, just about to start my Master’s Degree, a colleague told me about a party he had been at where someone asked what he did for a living. He had replied that he was a teacher and the other person had asked “are you a proper teacher or are you one of these EFL teachers?” We had a good laugh about it in the staff room, but this touched a definite nerve with all of us present. My friend had replied “well, my students are real enough” but the fact that he had to justify himself as a teacher, and that he could be identified as being apart from ‘real’ teachers, was upsetting at the time. My colleague went on to another career, but I stayed with EFL and am now in the second year of a PhD in applied linguistics with a full-time job at Sophia University. I love what I do and can identify comfortably as both a teacher and a researcher. I am currently engaged in an exploratory practice inquiry into motivation and authenticity and I am now entering a new stage in my personal and professional development. In this narrative self-inquiry, I would like to explain what kept me going all this time, how I maintained motivation, how I developed my self-efficacy and how I came to see myself as a ‘real’ teacher by being true to my teaching beliefs and finding my authentic self. However, this presentation will not just be about me, but about the validity of what all EFL teachers do for a living.
The Authenticity Continuum: Empowering International VoicesRichard Pinner
This paper outlines a workshop which I conducted in Tokyo and Osaka in 2013 as part of an INSET program accredited by the Japanese Ministry of Sports, Education and Culture (MEXT). The course, entitled Using and Adapting Authentic Materials to Help Motivate Students, aims to give teachers a better understanding of the concept of authenticity as it realigns itself with the way English is used and taught around the world for international communication. My aims as the teacher/researcher were to understand more about how L2 teachers of English perceive the notion of authenticity and how this concept could be broadened to try and empower L2 users of English by helping them to start reconceptualising authenticity from a more international perspective. This paper first looks at some of the issues that arise when attempting to define authenticity and then, building on the distinctions laid out by Widdowson (1978), that authenticity is not something absolute but relative to learners, I suggest that authenticity might be best viewed as a continuum which incorporates international voices and moves away from culturally embedded definitions. With that in place I will describe the contents of the workshop, followed by an explanation of the data I collected as part of the workshop and how analysis showed that participants reported the notion of an authenticity continuum to be empowering and even increased their motivation to try and make their own classes more authentic.

A Reflexive Narrative of one Teacher’s Professional Digital LiteracyRichard Pinner
I have always combined my interest in technology with my work as a teacher, thereby developing my own digital literacy to the extent that it has been a very influential factor in my professional development and teaching beliefs. Whilst working in London in 2007, I began teaching IT skills classes to pre-masters students and at the same time I became the eLearning coordinator for a large chain of language schools with over 40 international locations. I was responsible for maintaining an online self-access centre and virtual learning environment with over 10,000 registered users. I created my own consultancy which offered technology training specifically for language teachers. Since moving to Japan in 2011, I have continued to utilise educational technologies in my work. My story may not be particularly unusual, and therefore in presenting a reflexive narrative of my experience I hope to open up a discussion with other practitioners who have similarly developed their digital literacy in order to improve their teaching and career prospects. I will also discuss my views on EFL teacher digital literacy in general, as well as my experience of student digital literacy. This presentation takes the form of a narrative inquiry (Barkhuizen, 2013), based on data collected through the process of reflexive practice (Edge, 2011). I encourage others to utilise narratives as a way of improving their practice.

Using and Adapting Authentic Materials to Help Motivate StudentsRichard Pinner
This course offers an insight into how best to select and adapt authentic materials to use with students as a way of exposing them to other cultures and ways of thinking. It has been shown that authentic materials are more motivating for students (Peacock, 1997) and thus the class will feature practical demonstrations of ways in which authentic materials can be used to help motivate students.
In the class, participants will look at, observe and demonstrate tasks which utilise authentic materials and participants will also have the chance to a adapt materials and design their own tasks in a hands-on workshop.
Placing equal emphasis on content
learning and language learning
2 Encouraging the use of authentic
materials (e.g. webpages, newspaper)
3 Giving multimodal input (i.e. written/
spoken texts, graphics, statistics, videos)
4 Using various levels of thinking skills
(i.e. LOTS and HOTS)
5 Giving many tasks
6 Making the most of cooperative learning
(e.g. pair work, group work)
7 Providing scaffolding in content and
language
8 Incorporating elements of cross-
cultural understanding and global issues
9 Integrating the four skills

Plenary Speech given at ELT Research in Action (ELTRIA) Barcelona, May 10th 2024
In this talk, I will discuss the enduring relevance of the theme of authenticity in ELT. In particular, I want to discuss the place of “authentic” language in the post-truth era; the importance of knowing what is “real” when it comes to using a foreign language; and, of course, the role of Artificial Intelligence in a world where teachers still need to make meaningful connections with our students, and yet computers are altering the way these interaction might take place. I will discuss the importance of group dynamics and motivation when trying to forge a culture of authentic learning and language use in our classrooms. Near the end of the talk, I will share practical ideas for navigating this uncertain present and precarious future, and I hope to begin a meaningful discussion about the role and relevance of researching authenticity in action.
Me and My Memes: EFL students’ memes and their role in participatory cultureRichard Pinner
Memes are the “lingua franca” of the internet (Milner, 2016), and there is a small but growing body of research using memes with EFL learners (Harshavardhan et al, 2019). In this talk, I share some of my own practical experiences using memes in Japanese university classes. Students find and share memes, as well as creating and sharing their own. The values and potential pitfalls of this are discussed practically, and some preliminary data about students’ reflections and experiences of using memes are presented to begin a discussion on the potential place that memes might have in the EFL classroom. Initial response show that students found making their own memes to be a rewarding experience that gave them a connection to participatory culture (Jenkins et al, 2009).

How to Integrate Content and Language in CLIL Pedagogy Theories and ExamplesRichard Pinner
This seminar focuses on the integration of subject-matter and
English acquisition, which is the crucial aspect of CLIL (Content
and Language Integrated Learning). Theories based on the most
recent research and classroom examples informed by those
studies will be presented. The speakers are Professor Angel Lin
(Simon Fraser University, Canada), a world-famous researcher in CLIL, and Professor Makoto Ikeda (Sophia University), vice
president of Japan CLIL Pedagogy Association.
‘Concept+Language Mapping’ (CLM) as an Innovative Approach to CLILRichard Pinner
How to integrate content learning with language learning has been a central issue in current
research on CLIL (Dalton-Puffer et al.,2010). In this talk I present our experience in developing
an innovative approach, ‘Concept+Language Mapping’ (CLM) (Lin & He, 2017; He & Lin,
forthcoming), by drawing on Lemke (1990)’s ‘thematic patterns’ theory to tackle the challenge
of integrating language scaffolding into the teaching of complex content topics in secondary
science classrooms in Hong Kong. Implications for content-based language education or ‘Soft
CLIL’ will also be discussed.
