Teaching Everybody through Videconferencing IATEFL 2017Mercedes Viola
As the United Nations states, we should ensure inclusive and quality education for all.
An English programme called Ceibal en Inglés is being implemented in Uruguay. It is an innovative project that we are using to address the high demand of English when there are not enough qualified teachers in the country. The programme is being delivered through three 45-minute English language lessons per week. The first of these lessons (lesson A) is delivered by an English teacher who teleconferences into the classrooms. The two remaining lessons (lessons B and C) are taught by the classroom teacher (CT). Lesson plans are designed in three different levels to take students from A0 to A2 on the CEFR by the British Council.
I have been coordinating a team of remote English teachers (RT) since the beginning of the programme. In these years we have been teaching groups from all over the country and from many different neighbourhoods in our capital city; each group with different characteristics, from different socio-cultural backgrounds and with diverse challenges; and each specific group with its own diversity.
We are not living an era of change; we are living a change of era.
Power, to a very great extent, is becoming global and politics remains local. Disruptive innovation is changing our world.
There are no certainties, only questions to be discussed collectively.
The future, already here, of English teaching and EducationMercedes Viola
We are witnessing a change of era. Old paradigms are being put into question and new paradigms and ideas are emerging. There are some general agreements, but there is no final conclusion.
We need to redefine what we are educating for and why.
Educando colaborativamente en Ceibal en InglésMercedes Viola
La educación es un derecho humano fundamental. Todas las personas, incluidas las personas con discapacidad, tienen el derecho a asistir a centros educativos comunes durante toda su trayectoria educativa.
En estos años de trabajo en Ceibal en inglés hemos enseñado inglés a grupos de todo el país y de muchos barrios diferentes de Montevideo; cada grupo en un contexto especifico, con sus propias características y rico en diversidad. También hemos trabajado con dos escuelas especiales.
En esta presentación vamos a
• ir sobre los desafíos que hemos encontrado al trabajar con la diversidad dentro del programa CEI,
• ver lo que implica un verdadero trabajo colaborativo,
• compartir estrategias y formas de trabajar con todos de manera que no dejemos a ningún alumno atrás

Inclusive Education in ELT - Education for AllMercedes Viola
Education should be inclusive at all levels and ensure the access of disabled children and teenagers to the same general education offered to all.
Inclusive Education means all students can fully participate in any mainstream school, college or university. It is a process of addressing and responding to the diversity of needs of all learners.
Since English is being taught in most schools and universities, it plays a crucial role in the design of an inclusive curriculum.
In this talk we will look at what inclusive Education implies and how we, English teachers, can create meaningful learning experiences for all.
Education should be inclusive at all levels and ensure the access of disabled children and teenagers to the same general education offered to all. Their right to equal educational opportunities is our obligation as educators.

“Appreciative Inquiry is the cooperative search for the best in people, their organizations, and the world around them. It involves systematic discover of what gives a system ‘life’ when it is most effective and capable in economic, ecological, and human terms.” Cooperrider, D.L. & Whitney, D
It is a methodology aimed at the development of the organization based on the assumption that inquiry into and dialogue about strengths, successes, values, hopes and dreams is in itself transformational.
The process used to generate the power of Appreciative Inquiry is the 4-D Cycle:
Discovery - Dream - Design - Destiny
Discovery: The Discovery phase is a diligent and extensive search to understand the "best of what is" and "the best of what has been."
Dream: The Dream phase is an energizing exploration of "what might be:"
Design: The Design phase involves making choices about "what should be" within an organization or system.
Destiny: The Destiny phase initiates a series of inspired actions that support ongoing learning and innovation - or "what will be."
School leaders and teachers are searching for a purpose and a sense of identity. We want more than just pay; we want a ‘sense of mission’. When you believe in a professional way of doing your job you have to be able to transmit this to all the people involved in teaching/learning process.
The Appreciative Inquiry methodology helps to create our identity and to transmit our values and beliefs. Educational institutions need to be knowledge rich, adaptable and permanently changing. We need to be able to design curricula according to our student’s individual needs.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
