Part 3 of a series on implementing a flipped classroom. This presentation discusses the outcomes gained at the completion of the year in a flipped classroom.
Exploring the efl curriculum through the use of virtual forumMiguel Salek
The document discusses a study exploring the use of virtual forums in an EFL curriculum. In the study, students from Colombia, Chile, and Canada participated in blogs and discussion forums. In the first phase, students wrote about their lives and cultures in informal language. They built communities to learn from each other. In the second phase, university students participated autonomously and had weekly debates. The study concluded that this approach differed from traditional language learning by allowing students to participate actively in constructing the curriculum. It also confirmed the value of project-based learning and creating language learning communities through blogs and forums.
California World Language Standards UpdateCarla Piper
The document outlines guidelines for revising the California World Language Standards from 2009. The revisions aim to implement 21st century world language education that promotes multilingualism through dual immersion programs. It also aims to reflect the standards and principles of influential documents like the ACTFL World-Readiness Standards. The revised standards will include an introduction linking language learning to college and career readiness. It will also have a section specific to supporting dual immersion programs.
This three-lesson unit introduces 4th grade students to cultural diversity through exploring Native American and Turkish cultures. In the first lesson, students research flags of their own heritage and learn about symbols and colors. They then enter flag information on a class wiki. Lesson two involves reading about the two cultures and identifying similarities and differences. The final lesson has students research cultural aspects like art and traditions online and record audio responses on a voice thread. Students are evaluated based on homework, voice thread contributions, and an exam assessing their understanding of the cultures.
This document discusses strategies for promoting diversity at different levels of a school community. It suggests raising awareness of differences through open discussion and understanding other perspectives. The strategies proposed include incorporating multicultural topics across the curriculum, strong language programs, service learning opportunities in diverse environments, and hiring a culturally diverse faculty. It also emphasizes engaging parents and alumni to promote diversity and establishing support systems for international families.
This slideshow describes the efforts of a small faculty committee to create a citation guide as an OER without financial support at Virginia Commonwealth University. We explain the phases of the project as well as the challenges we have overcome.
The document proposes a self-access online platform to promote excellence in teaching through faculty and TA development. The platform would include self-contained modules in common instructional formats and authentic classroom video to give teachers a view they don't usually see. It would be customizable to individual needs and disciplines, self-paced, and financially sustainable. The goal is to support student success, hybrid/online offerings, and have a national reach through offering it as a MOOC, resulting in big impacts for a small investment.
The document discusses strategies for supporting English Language Learner (ELL) students in the classroom. It notes that ELL students receive most of their instruction from their homeroom teachers on a daily basis. Effective strategies for ELL students include using multiple modes of communication, visual tools, building vocabulary, and building background knowledge. The strategies provide opportunities for ELL students to experience academic success.

Part 2 of a series on implementing a flipped classroom. This presentation outlines the preparation of both resources and student learning skills in order to implement flipped learning.
Designing engaging learning for digital learningJune Wall
This document discusses designing engaging digital learning. It defines digital learning as learning that cannot be easily done in a classroom and includes interactivity and immediate feedback focused more on learning processes than content. The document outlines that engagement comes from embeddedness and interactivity, including challenge, choices, feedback, and novel information. It recommends designing learning through backward design starting with the desired outcome and considering how to make learning fun, real, and game-like. Visual learning design and resources on the topic are also referenced.
Digital literacy involves more than just using technology and digital tools. It encompasses the ability to locate, evaluate, use, create and communicate information using digital technologies. It also involves being able to understand information from a variety of sources presented digitally. While related to information literacy, digital literacy focuses more on the technological aspects and includes skills like using applications, web tools and social networking. True digital literacy requires developing critical thinking abilities and applying information processing skills within digital contexts and environments.
Reflect review and refine evaluating school library servicesJune Wall
Evaluation of programs is important to ensure quality learning. Evaluation of the role of the school library in order to identify future development and strategic planning for teaching and learning from the library is critical for effective library services. This session will introduce a review tool developed for school teams to use and identify a school strategic vision. The tool will be available for participants to use in their schools.
Participants will be able to:
Outline data collection needed to review library services
Identify types of library services ad consider a future vision for your school library
Use data from evidence to analyse patterns and trends.
Part 1 of a series on implementing a flipped classroom. This presentation outlines rationale behind the learning and curriculum as well as the model of flipped learning developed to suit student and school needs.
Starting at the beginning: digital literacy for your schoolJune Wall
The document discusses digital literacy, transliteracy, and 21st century skills. It defines digital literacy as having access to cultural resources and applying them to digital tools to create, collaborate, communicate, and understand when digital technologies are useful. Transliteracy is the ability to read, write, and interact across platforms and media. 21st century skills include creativity, problem solving, communication, citizenship, and responsibility. The document provides information on developing these skills through information literacy, critical thinking, and ICT literacy. It offers examples of skills and tools for different year levels, and resources for skill assessment.
Digital learning strategies to embed in the curriculumJune Wall
Using a digital literacy continuum, learn how to map an existing unit of work to identify learning skills and teaching strategies for students.Consideration as to how a unit can be developed using backward design to embed digital literacy
This session explored the considerations when developing a digital citizenship matrix or scope and sequence for implementation in your school. The session scaffolds the planning process and considers a variety of delivery programs.
The document discusses various approaches to curriculum development including content-based, objective-based, and process-based models and highlights factors that must be considered in curriculum planning like learners' needs, objectives, assessment procedures, and the balance between prescribed materials and teacher autonomy. It also examines different dimensions of curriculum, types of objectives and evaluation, and the role of materials in language teaching.
Integrative teaching involves combining academic subjects around a specific topic to show how topics connect across the curriculum. It is well-organized and anchored in real-life situations that include learners' interests. There are three main types of integration: multidisciplinary combines subjects but keeps outcomes distinct; interdisciplinary integrates knowledge and skills from multiple subjects; and transdisciplinary connects daily experiences to subjects to build knowledge and skills. Effective integrative strategies include content-based instruction, thematic teaching using a theme to link concepts, and focusing inquiry using questions to guide student-led investigations.
Syllabus design involves organizing instructional content and evaluation methods. It differs from curriculum which outlines broader educational goals. When designing a course, instructors must select a syllabus framework and develop instructional blocks. Various approaches to syllabus design include grammatical, lexical, functional, situational, topical, competency-based, text-based, skills-based, and task-based. No single approach is best - instructors should consider learner needs and integrate multiple approaches. The goal is not to choose one type but to connect different types to effectively teach language skills.
This document discusses key concepts related to curriculum design for teaching English as a foreign language. It defines curriculum as a general plan for a course of study including goals, learning outcomes, and evaluation. A syllabus provides more specific details for teaching a particular course, including content selection and sequencing. Methodology refers to the underlying teaching approaches used, while methods are specific classroom techniques. Effective curriculum design involves defining objectives, selecting content, organizing content and learning experiences, and determining evaluation. Curriculum ideologies influence design and include academic rationalism, social efficiency, learner-centeredness, and social reconstructionism.
Frederic Fovet Presentatin at the UDL and Inclusive Practice Symposium: Reach...Frederic Fovet
Post-secondary campuses are attracting an increasingly diverse student population. This must be celebrated as it means that the post-secondary classroom is also increasingly representative of the population at large; it means as well that all students are confronted with diversity in their campus experience and learn to embrace it; the internationalization of post-secondary institutions furthermore leads to greater opportunities to develop global citizenship.
This diversity of the student population, however, is not always perceived by faculty as easy or seamless to address proactively. As a result, students’ expectations can often clash with current teaching and learning practices that have not changed as fast as the composition of the student body has done. This leads to friction. It is not just students with disabilities that are experiencing barriers in their learning; International students, second language learners, culturally diverse and racialized students, first generation students, Indigenous students, and non-traditional learners all report experiencing similar barriers in their learning in the post-secondary classroom. Together, these students often represent a majority on our campuses - a majority that does not feel learning is designed for their needs.
It is becoming urgent therefore to find ways of eroding this friction. The solutions must address the needs of diverse learners proactively, but also support faculty as they rethink their classroom practices. These solutions must be sustainable, user-friendly, cost-effective, and powerful; they must guarantee a rapid change in our teaching and learning landscape, uphold the standards of post-secondary education, and ensure the creation of genuinely inclusive provisions.
The session will explore how Universal Design for Learning is uniquely positioned as a framework to address these pressing needs. The session will be interactive and seek to empower participants with a firm mastery of the UDL principles, to offer them practical examples of their use in the classroom, and to guide them as they begin their journey with implementation.

It also discusses language proficiency levels and provides examples of how specific strategies can be used.
An Overview of Syllabuses in English Language Teachingjetnang
This document provides an overview of different types of syllabuses used in English language teaching. It describes 13 different syllabus types: procedural, cultural, situational, skill-based, structured/formal, multi-dimensional, task-based, process, learner-led, proportional, content-based, notional/functional, and lexical. Each type has a different focus, such as tasks, culture, situations, skills, or lexical items. The document notes that no single syllabus is appropriate for every learner and that syllabuses are often combined to meet different needs. It poses questions about which types may be most beneficial for language learners and whether a more flexible or pre-outlined approach is preferable.
The document proposes guidelines for an English curriculum in Colombian schools with the following key aspects:
1. It defines the curriculum as a system of interrelated components including objectives, content, resources, and evaluations.
2. It suggests three levels - macro (principles), meso (scope and sequence), and micro (grade-level plans) - to structure the curriculum.
3. Key themes include environmental education, health, citizenship, and globalization. Flexibility and adaptability allow schools to tailor the curriculum to their needs.
4. Assessment should be competence-based and formative, including self-evaluation, co-evaluation, and peer evaluation. Actors in implementing the curriculum include
This document discusses key aspects of designing an effective course plan and syllabus, including:
1. Developing a course rationale that outlines beliefs, values and goals of the course.
2. Describing entry and exit levels of student proficiency using standardized tests or proficiency scales.
3. Determining scope and sequence of content, which involves deciding what to cover, how in-depth, and the order of topics based on factors like simplicity to complexity, prerequisites, or a spiral approach.
The document also examines frameworks for organizing a syllabus like situational, functional, topical, and skills-based approaches, and discusses developing instructional blocks and a scope and sequence plan to structure the course

Dimensions of flexibility include goals, methods, assessments, resources, communication, and technology used. The document provides strategies for designing interactive learning sequences and engaging students with content through varied resources, support, assessments, and activities.
This document provides an overview of different types of syllabi for English language education, including product-oriented, process-oriented, procedural, task-based, and negotiated syllabi. It discusses the characteristics of a good syllabus and explains key aspects of different syllabus types, such as how grammatical/structural and functional/notional syllabi are product-oriented and focus on language forms and functions. Process-oriented syllabi shift the focus from content to the learning process. Procedural syllabi emphasize logically arranged classroom activities. Task-based syllabi clearly state language tasks, while negotiated syllabi are developed through teacher-student negotiations.
Focusing on language content in a communicative syllabusUnggul DJatmika
This document discusses approaches to developing language course content and syllabi. It addresses the tension between discrete and holistic views of language. The key points are:
1) Course development should combine linguistic forms, notions, functions, lexis and language skills in a systematic way that provides for generalization.
2) Inventories of grammatical topics, notions, functions and sociocultural contexts should be developed to provide appropriate sequencing and cultural contextualization.
3) Both discrete and holistic views are needed, as are accuracy and fluency. Various models are proposed to integrate these elements in a communicative syllabus.
This document discusses Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and its application in curriculum design in the Baltimore County Public Schools (BCPS). It provides an overview of UDL principles and guidelines for applying them to curriculum writing. The goal is to architect digital curriculum that provides equitable access to rigorous, relevant, and responsive instruction for all students through customized and personalized learning. Curriculum writers receive training on UDL concepts and how to choose materials, resources, and strategies that ensure diverse learners' access. Templates provide guidance on unit and lesson planning with UDL in mind.
Games Based Learning (GBL) has been discussed and used in classrooms for the last 10 years or more. Most games used in classrooms have been identified as a connection to the curriculum, however they are not the core of teaching and learning activities.
This session will overview GBL and gamification and suggest resources for the classroom and library that can be used and teaching ideas as to how to embed games in learning.
At the conclusion of the seminar, participants will be able to:
Discuss the concepts of games-based learning and gamification and the application in classrooms.
Identify some games relevant for learning.
Begin to develop teaching ideas using games or gamification.
Will the school of the future have a library of the futureJune Wall
This session considers the probable future learning needs of students and teachers and how this could be represented in a school. If schools change, then how will school libraries change? Or how should school libraries change for the possible future? Do school libraries need to change? These questions will be part of the discussion leading to some suggestions for the future of teacher librarians and school libraries.
Become a leading learner. Connected learning: A Smart framework for educatorsJune Wall
As we move forward with the use of a range of technologies and pedagogies to meet rapidly expanding future needs, teachers are deluged with expectations of becoming a future oriented teacher to meet the future learning needs of our students. There are numerous frameworks to use when planning curriculum activities and the challenge is to decide which one best fits a given set of needs. Frameworks need to provide guidance and structure while still enabling flexibility. Connected learning, design thinking and digital literacy are principles, methodologies and literacies that must be incorporated into everyday teaching if future learning needs are to be met.
During the webinar, participants will explore some frameworks and discover one framework for learning developed by the presenter.

There are a wide range of presentation or multimedia tools for educators – possibly the most ubiquitous is PowerPoint. We have all heard of the concept of “death by PowerPoint” and as a linear presentation tool, there are many examples of this around. This session will outline how PowerPoint can be used creatively and with a more individualised focus on learning. The key is not in the tool, but in the learning design and creative use of a digital tool.
Developing learning capacity for teachersJune Wall
As new learning skills emerge it is necessary for teachers to develop sufficient capacity to develop learning programs that will provide the opportunity for students to develop these critical learning skills. ‘Learning and Literacy for the future: Building capacity Part 2’ by June Wall and Karen Bonanno, published in Scan, Volume 33, Issue 4 in 2014 considers a capacity building approach, through formal and information professional learning experiences, to ensure teachers develop competencies and capacity to help improve learning outcomes and prepare students for the rapidly changing world of work.
A capacity building tool is outlined and explained as a development tool for teachers to develop capabilities for future learning. Reflection and strategic visioning, that includes the development of a personal professional learning plan, is an integral component of the tool and will also be explained in this presentation.
