Language and education
This document discusses the relationship between language and education. It covers three main points:
1) Students learn both spoken and written language in educational settings, developing communication skills, vocabulary, and ways to express themselves.
2) Learning in classrooms is primarily accomplished through language, as teachers instruct and students participate through reading, writing, discussions, and other activities.
3) Classroom language practices like scaffolding, initiation-response-feedback sequences, and sharing time provide opportunities for students to learn through language and learn about language.
Questions and Challenges for Quality Management in Language Education
This document discusses issues in quality management (QM) in language education. It summarizes different models of quality, including fitness for purpose, client satisfaction, and legitimacy. It also outlines some common objections to QM, such as that it is too bureaucratic and focuses too much on measurable outcomes over holistic learning. The document advocates for a new paradigm of QM based on building trust and legitimacy. It provides examples of measures that can build trust both inside and outside an institution, as well as evidence that can establish legitimacy. Overall, it calls for EAQUALS to re-examine how QM is assessed to focus more on continuous improvement rather than just identifying defects.
Language teaching approaches and methods
This document discusses different approaches and methods for teaching foreign languages. It defines key terms like method, approach, and components of a method. It then provides an overview of several well-known language teaching methods from different time periods, including Grammar Translation, Direct Method, Audiolingual Method, and some Humanistic/Designer Methods like the Silent Way and Suggestopedia. Each method is influenced by theories of language and language learning and incorporates different syllabi, teaching practices, materials, and assessments.
Creative teacher
This document discusses creative teaching and explores ways to foster creativity in the classroom. It identifies several key characteristics of creative teachers, including having a questioning stance, making connections across disciplines, promoting student autonomy and ownership, and modeling creativity. Creative teaching is seen as an art that involves developing personal qualities like curiosity, taking risks with new ideas, and having a flexible teaching style. The document provides tips for teachers to develop creativity in their students, such as rewarding creative ideas, allowing mistakes, and teaching self-responsibility. Overall, the document advocates for teaching approaches that encourage curiosity, flexibility, and student-driven learning to bring out creativity.
Innovation and creativity in classroom teaching
This document discusses tools and techniques for enhancing creativity and innovation in classroom teaching. It provides examples of role plays, radio shows, demonstrations, mind mapping, storytelling, field trips, games, and brochure making. It also discusses using humor and creative evaluation approaches. Specific examples are given for mind mapping different topics. An example story is provided about Freddy Fungus and Alice Algae. Benefits of field trips, games, and brochure making are outlined. The importance of using humor in teaching is discussed. Different creative evaluation approaches like group discussions are also highlighted.
The Natural Approach | Methods and Approaches of Language Teaching
The Natural Approach is a method of language teaching developed by Stephen Krashen and Tracy Terrell in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Direct Method (DM) of Language Teaching
Direct Method (DM) method is language teaching method. Through this method students are directly taught with target language without using native language.
Communicative language teaching method(1)
Communicative language teaching is a method based on the idea that language is used for communication. The goal is for students to develop communicative competence through engaging in meaningful tasks and real-world language use. The teacher facilitates communication between students and guides them, while students actively practice communicating. Activities include role plays, games, and using authentic materials. Errors are tolerated as students focus on fluency over accuracy.

This document discusses how open education programs can benefit higher education learners and promote social inclusion. It recommends understanding all learner needs, including those who are underprivileged. Open education programs should track the progress of underprivileged learners compared to privileged groups and target support to them. Institutions should bring all staff along in the digital learning journey and partner both inside and outside the university to support learners. The author proposes six critical dimensions of open education based on prior research: technology, learning materials, skills, social support, learner purpose, and autonomy. Tracking these dimensions can help adapt open education for social inclusion goals.

Learning with technology – teaching without (cotesol presentation)
How can teachers support mobile learning without using technology during class? The presentation explores how students can bring real-life, linguistic experiences into class and how teachers can help the students learn from these experiences. Through exploring case studies, you will gain both practical suggestions for activities and guiding pedagogical principles.
Virtual quests dialogic language learning with 3d virtual worlds
The incorporation of 3D virtual worlds into WebQuests offers a more exploratory approach to language learning, where the learner engages in social, immersive and creative activities as part of the quest’s research. This experiential learning leads the teacher to play a greater facilitator-role and to focus more on responding to students’ needs, and less on preemptively teaching. Dogme language teaching, with its focus on dialogic learning and emergent pedagogy, offers guidance in drawing on virtual world experiences for language classes.
Personalizing the phrasebook
The document discusses personal phrasebooks (PPBs), which are collections of phrases tailored to a learner's specific needs and situations. PPBs can help increase fluency and reduce cognitive load. One example is an "email phrasebook" created by a student, Michal, to collect useful phrases for writing emails at work. The teacher helps identify good phrases from emails and suggests additions. PPBs are part of a personalized learning environment (PLE) and involve setting goals, managing content and learning independently. Teachers can help learners identify suitable phrases and develop autonomy in maintaining their own PPBs.
Exploring out of-class learning - mobile devices - dogme language learning
Language classes account for a relatively limited amount of the student’s learning – and much (perhaps most) of the learning is done informally, out-of-class. So, how can we as teachers change what we do in lesson to better support what the learners are doing out-of-lesson?

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
