It discusses how engaging students in writing activities related to picture books can increase their reading and writing abilities, and explains different picture books and writing activities teachers can use, such as simile poems, fortunately/unfortunately stories, and writing about colors. The presentation also demonstrates how sketchnoting can be used to visually summarize information for students.
Using comics and graphic novels to support higher level thinkingMaria Selke
Background information about sequential art and comics, followed by teaching suggestions and a list of resources and the comics and graphic novels I shared during Confratute 2015
It may be hard to believe, but June has arrived! As the holidays approach we want to encourage our learners to start thinking about places to visit, at least online! Our C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency students can learn more about Japan while they improve their reading and listening skills. Our B1 Preliminary and B2 First learners can start thinking about the next time they will be able to meet their classmates while they practise their speaking. The younger ones can talk about the beach and learn new vocabulary to express their ideas. Happy teaching!

There are also a couple of warm-up games, a newspaper project and a reading challenge.
Using Cartoons, Comic Books and Graphic Novels in the Classroom Quinn Rollins
Some tips, tricks, and warnings about using Cartoons, Comic Books and Graphic Novels in the secondary classroom, featuring "American Born Chinese" by Gene Luen Yang.
Using comic books and graphic novels to teach academic subjects is one of the many potentials that the medium of comics has. This presentation highlights the benefits of using such material in class, using as an example English Language as a subject.
Traditional academic writing (essays, reports, etc.) often overlook the creative writing techniques that native English speakers receive throughout their education. Thus, what is needed is a reexamination of the syllabus to find creative writing opportunities. In addition, ESL/EFL teachers must be given the ability and confidence to teach writing. My workshop aims to accomplish these necessities.

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.
4. “When you engage the children in
a writing activity before, during,
or after reading, you increase
their facility with and affinity for
both reading and writing.
(Cunningham & Allington, 1999)
5. “Children’s literature provides a
springboard to teach writing
skills. Through literature
students are able to see and her
quality writing.
(Dierking & McElveen, 1998)
6. “The research strongly implies
that we learn to write by reading.
To be more precise, we acquire
writing style, the special
language of writing, by reading.
(Krashen, 1993)

We are incredible at remembering
pictures. Hear a piece of information,
and three days later you'll remember
10% of it. Add a picture and you'll
remember 65%.
