Reflecting on ones own extended digital self and beliefs.The maxim that teachers often manifest the way they learn and the way that they were taught may have been stretched by the pressure of educational responses to Co-Vid 19. With little choice, we were all propelled into new learning, which expanded the many dimensions of our extended digital selves. This workshop suggests a reflective audit of ones own digital self and involvement within the online world. Moving from this sense of the extended digital self, we will share tasks which focus on the implications for facilitating others. Blended learning approaches to involving our students in ownership of their multiple, analogue and digital identities will be shared.

Studies have shown that when it comes to learning foreign languages, combining technology and human instruction is more powerful than either computer learning or human instruction alone. The flipped classroom is an exciting new methodology in education where students “front load” their language abilities by learning vocabulary and phrases independently before each class. Teachers then build on what their students have already learned, practicing and applying that knowledge in class through communicative activities and task-based strategies. The result is a more rewarding classroom experience, with more time spent actively engaging in the language, rather than passively listening. This presentation, given at the 2015 FLEAT Conference at Harvard University, will teach you how to flip your class and enjoy the wealth of benefits to both teacher and student alike.

Online English classes provide advanced learning opportunities for professionals looking to expand their language proficiency. With courses like the Advanced English Learning Course, working professionals can refine their language skills to a higher level of fluency. These courses typically focus on complex grammar, advanced vocabulary, and critical thinking, allowing professionals to communicate effectively and confidently in more challenging contexts.

Pushed Change: Are Students and Teachers Ready? The idea that ‘Change is the only constant’ has never been more true than in 2020, and the rest of the future threatens even an even faster pace of change. This workshop invites examination of major changes being pushed upon the education sector whether we welcome them or not and asks how key education stakeholders should and will react. Three changes on which participants’ thoughts and experiences will be sought involve (a) the rise of distance education, (b) the worsening of climate weirding, and (c) ongoing threats to social cohesion. These changes present dire threats, as well as great opportunities, for education. To briefly preview each of these three changes and their possible impacts on education: (a) Can education reap the benefits of distance education in such areas as greater inclusion, easier access, and enhanced technology use while still delivering quality learning and rigorous assessment? (b) Will the education sector be willing to generate the same level of effort we mounted to face down COVID-19 to respond to an even greater impending calamity, the climate crisis? (c) Can education be a force for community and cooperation when so many people and organisations seem to be prioritising difference and division?

The Adoption of Technology-Enhanced Learning for Inclusive Education “If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.” -John Dewey- The use of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) tools can bring great potential to enhance both students’ and instructors’ experiential learning, but only if they are appropriately adopted (Baneres et. al., 2015). With the challenges of online teaching, it is crucial for instructors to customise their lessons to holistically cover the learning outcomes while ensuring a deeper level of engagement among diverse learners. In this workshop, participants will be exploring some significant stages of selecting appropriate TEL tools in their lessons.

The In-Trend 21st Century Teacher: Creating “Byte”-sized Content Using TikTok The recent pandemic has forcibly thrust the world of education into the realm of online teaching for better or worse. As face to face contact decreases, one question remains in every teacher’s mind, “How do I engage my students in a fun and meaningful way?”. The global quarantine measures taken around the world have changed the way our younger generation consumes online content. Often teachers were puzzled at the lack of engagement in their Zoom or Teams classes, with students tuning out after a few minutes. One of the hidden underdogs of social media applications is TikTok, an app which many dismissed as “a stupid app”, “an app with stupid dance craze and challenges”, prior to quarantine. Generation Z students are spending more and more time on the app, consuming bite-sized content up to 8 hours in-app. But, is it purely nonsensical? Can it be used for education? This workshop suggests creative ways of reinvigorating online classes with fun bite-sized content so that learning occurs simultaneously with students in charge of their own learning while we teachers can have fun creating engaging content on the app. This workshop will introduce teachers to the TikTok app, its functions and will focus on how to use Tit Tok to create 12-60 second educational content while maximizing retention, engagement, learning and 21st century learner skills. Participants will learn to use the application across all disciplines and create a video by themselves to share with the rest of the participants Sustainable learning for a safe global future: Lessons from pushed change August 15 2020 Sunway Malaysia

Ideas vs. Ideologies: A critical look at language teaching materials In the 21st century it is of utmost importance that our learners become critical readers who are able to distinguish between ideas and ideology (Kumaravadivelu, 2008). This workshop will look at how language teaching materials can and should be analyzed to uncover hidden (and not so hidden) ideologies, and reveal the ‘hidden curriculum’ that is meant to influence, promote, or maintain a particular power relationship in society. We will look at different examples of materials that include visuals and visual texts, and more traditional media. These will serve to illustrate two prominent problems with materials: (i) the presence of sexism and gender bias, and (ii) cultural insensitivities. After examining each set of materials, we will discuss what activities teachers may design to exploit the ‘flaws’ of their textbook materials to promote critical thinking and critical literacy skills in their classroom. In fact, what we need to embrace is the pedagogy of multiliteracies, since the role of a pedagogy of multiliteracies, as the New London Group (1996, p. 72) argue, is to “develop an epistemology of pluralism that provides access without people having to erase or leave behind different subjectivities”.

Designing Online Discussions that Work Communication practice is one of the most important components of language teaching-learning process. To attain purposeful verbal communication, the language activities ought to move from controlled verbal exercises of language features to independent interaction to talk critically about a topic. One good way is through discussion, talking freely through problem-solving a situation or a verbal interchange of ideas. In this workshop, I will attempt to demonstrate a working model of online discussions that the Monash English Bridging (MEB) program employs to elicit active participation and engagement. Workshop participants will learn the principles of designing online discussions that will help students to successfully cooperate and critically construct new information. They will also learn some strategies to generate interest, build fluency and promote critical thinking.

Online learning has been thrust upon us in an unprecedented way and on a global scale. This new paradigm has made us ask many new questions: which platform should I use, how will I engage my students, why won’t they turn on their mics or video? Yet, perhaps the most important question has not risen above the noise: how do we know that they have learned something. This short workshop will attempt to provide some suggestions in answer to this important question where learning has taken on a new look and some of our previous assessment methods no longer fit.

2015 ICELT The art of language learning is old school acquistion at the core

Stephen j Hall

digital literacy, English language teaching, Aps for language learning The Art of language learning applications are old school acquisition at the core Learning a language through thousands of differing applications can now be done anywhere, anytime, whether you are on or off line. With language learning aps we can compare newly learnt language with recordings of those who speak it every day and be rated for accuracy. We can match pictures to words which suits visual learners or socialise with other learners. Learners can swap language learning across languages in on-line communities, often for free. The language learning itself in the aps system is usually organised in colourful digestible chunks, moving from simple to complex. There is much innovative creativity as digital literacy multiplies. The paper will therefore be grounded in a survey of popular language learning applications but will argue that most language applications are really old school at the core. Delivery differs but the process of what happens in our brain when we learn new languages has been known for decades. New capabilities abound, but in essence how language learning aps work is the same as how an effective teacher helps learners acquire another language. Analysis will show how language learning applications use fundamental ideas known to any teaching today or in the last fifty years.

Strategies for Using Shorter,Similar & Differentiated Reading TextsESAP Sympo...

Stephen j Hall

Research shows that when it comes to reading longer texts, struggling students use limited meta-cognitive strategies and lack motivation, resulting in some passivity and reluctance (Lesley, M., Watson, P. & Elliot, S., 2007). In an attempt to help such struggling students, reading shorter and differentiated texts might be an answer, as prevalent in our Twitter-centric youngsters. In this workshop, participants will attempt to explore various strategies using such varied levelled texts to elicit more reading and active participation from students. The strategies could be used pre-, during and post-reading, involving both productive and receptive skills.

Reading and tackling the role of responses: More than comprehension questions Classroom learning is often driven by questions or tasks given and the answer or product required. This is especially noticeable in learning cultures in which the teacher defines the ‘how’ of learning by the one correct answer sought or a closely defined outcome. With an examination dominant system driven by competitive school league tables, correctness may begin to dominate creativity and critical thinking. Yet this can be contested if facilitators of learning use varied responses to reading rather than rely on the one and only correct task type or response. This workshop will provide experience in varied task types which are responses to written text. Just two reading texts will be used to suggest a range of responses which could stimulate vocabulary understanding and use, while developing creativity in teaching and learning
