This document discusses professional development for English language teachers. It begins by listing references on the topic, including books by Foord and Richards. It then discusses areas of professional development like skills, knowledge, awareness, and attitude. Strategies for development include self-reflection, getting feedback from students and colleagues, and trying new techniques. Development can occur through experience, making changes intentionally, or as a result of outside factors. The document outlines a five circle model of development involving the individual teacher, their students, colleagues, school, and profession. It provides many specific examples of activities teachers can do for professional growth.

"A Chinese proverb says, “When the winds of change blow, some people build walls and others build windmills”. Yes, there have been more updates to one of the most popular exams but there is no need to panic; in fact, there are all the reasons to be enthusiastic and embrace this change. In our session we will
* analyse the update to Cambridge English: First and First for Schools for 2015 providing a brief rationale for the revision
* outline the new structure of the exam, focusing on the papers that have undergone the biggest change
* highlight continuity and teaching implications.
We will also discuss whether/how we may need to adjust our teaching to meet the new exam specifications and ensure our students’ success in the exam."

Учить детей всегда интересно — они впитывают всё как губка и часто радуют нас своими успехами в изучении иностранных языков. Однако не все дети усваивают материал одинаково легко и быстро, ведь они такие разные. Задача учителя — обеспечить на уроке условия, при которых все без исключения дети активно развивали бы свои навыки и максимально использовали свой потенциал. На нашем семинаре мы обсудим, как можно достичь этой цели в группах, где учатся дети с разным уровнем владения языком, и как сделать изучение английского интересным и полезным для всех.

"Learning a subject in a foreign language is becoming a popular trend, but not all schools need this as a core programme. However, CLIL elements integrated properly in regular English classes can motivate students and therefore help them learn more effectively. My talk is going to briefly introduce the main principles of CLIL methodology for those who are new to it, and then show ways of implementing CLIL for increasing YLs' motivation in the context of general English courses."

Долгое время перевод являлся и зачастую продолжает оставаться основным методом объяснения значения новых слов и грамматики на уроках. Но можно ли учить иностранному языку, не прибегая к переводу и не боясь, что студенты ничего не поймут? Наш ответ — да, и на этом семинаре мы поговорим о преимуществах такого подхода и продемонстрируем, как можно эффективно и с удовольствием учить без перевода с самого первого урока.

Models of English Language across the Curriculum at the Open University and t...johnroseadams1
English language is the primary medium of learning and teaching at the Open University and is therefore central to students’ attainment and progression (see Erling, 2009). Over the past five years, six models of English language across the curriculum and three models of English language student support have been established at the OU. In 2011, the English Language Provision (ELP) Programme carried out an evaluation of the impact of these models on students, and to a lesser extent tutors and module teams (see Adinolfi and Kerr, 2011). As a result of the evaluation, the ELP Steering Group has proposed that a mixed economy of language provision be considered consisting of English for academic purposes modules and a range of language awareness and development provision ‘embedded’ within subject and programme areas. This presentation will outline the models and the findings of the evaluation and draw out the implications for the university’s curriculum development and widening participation strategies, including a number of key focus areas from OU Futures 2010-13.
English for Academic Purposes : Assessments. The focus of this presentation discusses group assessments such as group presentations. This presentation discusses cross-cultural communication challenges.
What is TEFL for teaching English abroad? Learn the basics about teaching English as a foreign language & TEFL certification for teaching English overseas.
An interactive session that aims to present practical ideas for building a K–12 proficiency-based program that focuses on developing students’ authentic oral communication and foundational literacy skills. Differentiation and personalized learning are the keys to a successful program, hence this presentation will include strategies for both. Focus points: proficiency — how to identify students’ levels and set learning goals; differentiated instruction — how to meet individual student needs, including learning styles, IT, personal interests, etc.; metacognition — how to raise the level of awareness of students’ self-assessment and provide strategies to move to a higher level of proficiency; resources — how to ensure rich and authentic content and materials; K–12 program articulation — how to align a program across all grade levels without following a set of textbooks — yes, it really is possible! Presenters will share the Singapore American School model, classroom practices, and examples along with Q&A and discussion. Facilitated by Susan Zhang and Sally Lean of the Singapore American School.
Speaker:
Sally Lean: Sally Lean (林莎莉) began a love of learning Chinese in middle school and further developed that through undertaking a Bachelor of Chinese Studies at the Australian National University. She has taught Chinese for over 15 years and managed Chinese programs for several well-known international schools and for several years worked as a co-founder, co-organizer and presenter of the ACAMIS (Association of China & Mongolia International Schools) Annual Summer Conference for teachers of Chinese language and culture. Apart from teaching Chinese, Sally was also head-hunted to create a teacher training project for the Chaoyang District Education Committee in Beijing, training local English teachers in current interactive and communicative teaching methodology.
Yuehua (Susan) Zhang: Dr. Yuehua (Susan) Zhang obtained her BA degree in English from Beijing Normal University, MED from Concordia University of Nebraska and PhD in Curriculum and instruction from University of Nebraska-Lincoln in the US. She has extensive experience in U.S./China educational programs. Currently she serves as Director of world languages at Singapore American School in Singapore.

"Perhaps the most often-quoted proverb among teachers is "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink". However, perhaps our duty as a teacher is not just to "give" material to the students, but also to teach them to learn? By developing the students' learning skills and strategies and by giving them options we empower and motivate the students."

Inherent power structures across departments and (mutual) ignorance are barriers to collaboration - and thus barriers to language curriculum renewal and teaching that meets learner needs. Through a narrative account of our own experience, we reflect in this talk on the highly productive inter-knowingness that has emerged and evolved between the English Language Centre and academic departments at Durham University. We relate how professional image management and the development of our own 'plausibility' among academic staff has led to a change in relationship, from 'working for' to 'working with'. Most importantly, we examine how this evolution has benefitted the student language learning experience.
Whole School EAL Training: Graphic Organizers and Collaborative Learning (Oct...Kamil Trzebiatowski
A training to all mainstream teaching staff at my school (I delivered this in October 2014): on how to use graphic organizers, substitution tables, collaborative learning and DARTs in mainstream classrooms. Very well received.
Most of us have had one-to-one classes and know how challenging they can be to plan, because most coursebooks are designed for groups. This session will be about adapting book activities to suit a one-to-one context, sustaining motivation of our individual learners and making 1-2-1 classes communicative and effective.
It is difficult to imagine a lesson without a text, either written or audio. We extensively use dialogues, articles, stories, poems and many other forms of text. The most common tasks for reading or listening remain comprehension questions, which become familiar to students, yet a bit boring too. In this seminar we are going to look at the text from a different angle and explore various approaches of working with this valuable lesson material.
The presentation will introduce you to the different ways teachers can help learners to be better prepared for life in the 21st century. There are many ideas which teachers are already using every day such as Global Awareness and Cross Curricular Skills, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving, Communication and Collaboration. The author of the presentation reflects on how we can develop such skills while teaching English to our students.
'Writing' is rarely a favourite area for students who often equate it with essay composition on difficult or uninteresting topics. Yet we all write everyday and it is a necessary skill which our learners need. In this session we will look at ways to make writing more engaging in class as well as how to make it more relevant to all of our students' needs.
Everyone knows that children learn by playing. However, finding fun activities which would help young learners to learn English is not always easy. At this seminar exploring the most popular topic of the season we will discuss what games are suitable for different age groups, from preschoolers to teenagers, ... and possibly have some fun!
