Able to envision a future that no one else sees and invent things that haven’t been imagined. You focus a lot of your time on gathering information and asking good questions. Because you value all points of view and look broadly for information, you are able to make connections across many fields and use analogies that help you think differently about a problem. During brainstorming, you value the outlandish and the absurd—which can spark new thinking. You don’t judge. You don’t hem people in. You believe that many people with different ways of looking at the world will always outperform any one individual’s ideas. You are not afraid of failure. Fail early, fail often is almost a mantra for you. You expect a result that will wow clients and strive to make it a reality.Creating the New and Different is correlated with strong performance at the manager and executive levels. Most people’s skill level in Creating the New and Different is low, and it is harder to develop than most leadership skills. For these reasons, it is a good idea to focus on developing this skill as early as possible in your career. Your ability to generate breakthroughs will be noticed, appreciated, and sought after because it is the source of competitive advantage that companies seek.

How to learn the medical English you really need Howard Vickers
Learning the correct specialist terms is important for doctors and nurses, but there is much more to learning medical English. Students of medical English can prepare for real-life situations by using role-play to practice the language skills they need.
Learning with technology – teaching without (cotesol presentation)Howard Vickers
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 worldsHoward Vickers
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.
Personal Phrasebooks draw on the PLE concept to focus the student’s learning on phrases (rather than at the level of words or grammar). It is a very practical tool to solve everyday linguistic problems. However, it is also an approach (like PLEs) that requires a certain level of learner autonomy. Teachers can suggest and encourage, but the PPB needs to be student driven if it is to become part of their out-of-class learning and included in everyday life.
Exploring out of-class learning - mobile devices - dogme language learningHoward Vickers
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?
The ability to virtually visit real places offers practical and yet immersive ways to carry out real-life tasks. Services such as Google Street View allow language learning activities to focus on more descriptive language, while remaining relevant to the learners’ everyday life.

Google Docs and Wikis for Language LearningHoward Vickers
Google Docs and similar wiki-based programs simplify collaborative writing projects and can also serve as a shared workspace for the entire class. They are accessed via the internet and so are available independently of location or device. Students quickly learn how to use the programs, because of their similarity to Microsoft Office.
