WLV Skills Teachmeet 2014: Harper Adams Supporting International Distance Lea...Skills for Learning - University of Wolverhampton
Harper Adams University in the UK partnered with Beijing Agricultural College to launch two new undergraduate programs in 2004. In 2012 and 2013, librarians from Harper Adams visited Beijing Agricultural College to provide user education tutorials to first and second year students. There were several issues identified with supporting the international distance learners from China, including language barriers, cultural differences in learning and citation styles, and limitations of internet access and library resources in Beijing. The librarians addressed these challenges by simplifying their communication, allowing more thinking time, and encouraging engagement through interactive activities and games.Educating in a New Era
As the world becomes more connected, we have greater access to information than we could have thought possible only a few years ago. This has had a tremendous impact on education, and English teaching is no exception. From greater education and training requirements to a growing emphasis on the use of technology both in and outside the classroom, how can teachers keep up with the pace of change? This talk will discuss current and future trends in teaching and give teachers ideas about how they can stay informed and professionally up-to-date in today’s fast-paced world.

"Fully Embedded: an ESL-Library Partnership" by Barbara Bonous-Smit
Slides from the Metropolitan New York Library Council (METRO) Conference January 15, 2015
Research has proven the importance of developing academic and information literacy skills of ESL students or English language learners (ELLs) in basic reading and writing courses in order to promote student engagement and perseverance. A recent innovation and effective approach in academic library instruction, embedded librarians provide personal, targeted assistance to the class as a whole and to individual students. Hence, there is more sustained learning. In this session, the author discussed the close partnership and collaboration between a fully embedded librarian, an ESL instructor, and ESL students enrolled in an intermediate basic writing course. The embedded librarian worked closely inside and outside of the classroom with ESL students or English language learners not only focusing on information literacy but also on debates as a means of improving English learning. This research project also examined the impact of the embedded librarian on the information literacy of ESL students or ELLs as they prepared for debates based on current controversial topics. The research strategy used for the assessment employed pre- and post-tests with surveys used as the data method collection: quantitative (Likert scales) and qualitative (comments).

EFL to ESL: Helping learners bridge the communicative gap
This document discusses strategies for helping learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) prepare for studying abroad in an English-speaking country where English is used as a second language (ESL). It outlines three key strategies: 1) modeling communicative activities and analyzing them using Bloom's Taxonomy to develop higher-order thinking skills; 2) scaffolding academic oral presentations to build presentation skills through peer feedback; and 3) implementing peer mentoring programs where former study abroad students or native speakers provide guidance to EFL learners preparing to study abroad. The document argues that these approaches can help EFL learners develop important communication, cultural, and academic skills needed to successfully transition to an ESL environment abroad.

William Black, Christy Groves and Amy York, Middle Tennessee State University
Middle Tennessee State University adopted its experiential learning program as part of the 2006 academic accreditation process. Experiential learning (EXL) merges classroom teaching with the work environment to enhance the overall educational experience. Through EXL, students, faculty and external organizations collaborate to strengthen learning.
The James E. Walker Library has taken a proactive program approach to EXL @ MTSU, through the creation of partnerships with instructional faculty and student groups. Through these partnerships, members of the library faculty have been engaged in a number of entrepreneurial activities to enhance student education and involve the library more directly in the university’s mission to develop educated men and women.
We propose to talk about some of the library’s entrepreneurial partnerships that enhance learning through experience. These programs include initiatives such as the Student Art Partnership which offers the Library as a learning site for art installations that raise student awareness, the Printing Press Project which brings the library’s locally crafted 18th century reproduction printing press into university and county K-12 classrooms, and the Assessment Project which utilizes skills of Management & Marketing and Anthropology students to evaluate library effectiveness across campus.
We will discuss a representative sample of EXL partnerships at MTSU, describe the activities and outcomes, and assess how, by thinking entrepreneurially, the programs have strengthened the library’s relationship with students and brought the library more fully into the educational process.

Intercultural language learning activities
This document outlines intercultural language learning activities that can be used in a Chinese language classroom. It discusses the need for an intercultural perspective in language teaching given the rise of international students. An intercultural framework is presented involving artifacts, facts, and the educational effect on behaviors, beliefs, and perceptions. Several example activities are provided, such as watching a video on Chinese factories and discussing cultural differences, practicing greetings like exchanging business cards in different cultures, acting out stories from other cultures, creating bilingual haiku poems, quizzes and games, and small group discussions comparing festivals.

You've Got Them In, Now Get Them Involved PaLA Presentation
This document describes revisions made to library instruction sessions for a Freshman Seminar program at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg. The sessions were previously boring rotations through stations that wasted time. A new librarian implemented interactive modules to engage students. Assessments found students learned more through hands-on activities. Minor adjustments were made over three years with continued positive feedback. Challenges include maintaining requirements, growing diversity, and increasing composition instruction demands.

This document summarizes a study on Taiwanese novice EFL teachers' perceptions and practices regarding language learner autonomy in a high school curriculum. The study explored teachers' views of an autonomy-oriented curriculum (RQ1) and factors influencing their promotion of it (RQ2) through interviews with 3 teachers. The findings were that teachers felt the curriculum was desirable but less feasible, and there were discrepant perceptions regarding learner proficiency levels and institutional culture. The study aims to reveal difficulties in implementing autonomy-oriented curriculums and identify support needed for diverse learners.Similar to Home away from home (20)
