KEVIN BATCHELOR: “ Creativity and Innovation in the Classroom – a spontaneous approach”.
The aim of this plenary is to show how to get past our reliance on and the limitations of the curriculum, how to use our natural ability to trust ourselves in the classroom, and finally how to release our given ability to be spontaneous, inspiring and creative in line with the curriculum. This plenary will give you the tools to unblock the “should and shouldn’t” of our past training to be free to be more of ourselves as inspiring human beings and teachers. It will give an in-depth awareness and techniques to be spontaneous more of the time, and teaching techniques that foster self-trust and trust in your student to produce creative language. Finally, it will offer exciting ideas and proven teaching activities that give you instant, spontaneous and creative results that make you feel good as a teacher.

Aula 6 - 4. ROBERT QUINN – (OUP): “At home in English”
Motivating students is perhaps one of the most difficult things about teaching English in ESO. Part of the problem is that many students don’t feel at home in English and don’t see how it relates to their own world and everyday lives. In this talk, we’ll look at materials and activities that bring English home to ESO students by raising their awareness of English in the world around them and by helping them to discover and describe their own world in English.

Con este paseo pretendemos despertar el interés de los alumnos por el conocimiento de nuestro patrimonio histórico-artístico de una forma – creemos que amena-, al relacionarlo con algunas de las tradiciones que enriquecen nuestra cultura y tradición popular. No se trata pues de hacer una enumeración exhaustiva de monumentos y elementos arquitectónicos, sino de una “introducción” al conocimiento de nuestro pasado. Este paseo, por supuesto, se hará en vivo y en directo después de una presentación en Power Point, comenzando en la Puerta de Elvira y finalizando en el Paseo de los Tristes, deteniéndonos en aquellos lugares en los que nuestra tradición lo relacione con una de las leyendas populares granadinas.

1. FEDERICO VIANA Y GRACIA PALOMO: “Bilingualism and new Technologies”.
Over the past decade, “bilingual education” or “immersion” has been developed and put into practice all around Europe. It rests on the principles of Communicative Language Teaching and draws on the lessons of the ÚSA and Canadian experience, there it was known by CBI (Content Based Instructions) and some other names. Now known as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in Europe, has a dual objective: using the second language rather than knowing about the language, and ensuring multilingualism for multicultural European citizenship. Why bilingual education and new technologies? The reason is clear and evident and the rest of the paper should demonstrate it. Both bilingualism and new technologies coincide in the need for new materials and the cooperative learning is the learning approach that best suits them. A full range of new technology tools will be shown from the easiest, within everyone’s reach, until the most challenging but not always the most useful ones.

Our Virtual Library was designed in 2005-06 to create a space for self-study for students and encourage the use of new technology in education. It was conceived following the recommendations of the CEFR which considers autonomous learning central to language study. It allows students to check the catalogue and make reservations on-line. Furthermore, the system offers materials created by our teachers and a section on self-study.

This workshop is intended to promote teacher reflection, by facilitating the knowledge of what are the theoretical principles and main aspects of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching and Assessment (CEF) and what its more practical resources for the classroom: the Common Reference Levels (CRL) and the European Portfolio of Languages (PEL).
For over four decades now the Council of Europe has promoted a common language policy in order to develop plurilingualism, based on continuous research projects on language learning and acquisition, which resulted in 2001 in the CEF. Acknowledged as the most comprehensive and coherent account of language education by most experts, however the CEF is still not well known by many SL teachers in our country, who are supposed to implement that common language policy.

2. ELAINE HEWITT: “Primary School English and Parental Influence: An empirical investigation “
Amid all the focus on information technology education, the influence of the family on the learning of English in primary school is a central but still unexpectedly ignored field. Multicultural parents have been found to also be a factor in plurilingual and ethnic classrooms. The present empirical investigation describes data collected on the association between pupils’ achievement in English and their parents’ help and knowledge of it. The pupils were Spanish mother-tongue children learning English as a foreign language and the effect of pupil perception of their parents’ knowledge and the help received from them was considered together with their English marks. The results are discussed as to which areas were most significant: listening comprehension, writing tests, mother’s help, father’s help, or parental knowledge.
This new empirical study concludes that teachers’ awareness of pupils’ real progress may be imprecise because of parents’ help in learning English. Additionally, this may mean that pupils not doing well in class may in fact have more merit and in reality be better at leaning English than they seem. This is due to the fact that they are progressing without parental guidance. A truer idea of pupils’ capability for both teachers and students to see should be formed throughout the school years. It is recommended that teachers find out as much information as possible from their pupils about their parents’ help. We will look at ways of doing the based on programmes already in use in other fields.

We live in a society surrounded by texts, whose purpose is to communicate in context. In this sense, any text produced by students must have a reader in mind and a clear purpose. For this reason, as teachers we have to teach students to establish a relationship between language, text and the contexts in which those occur, which adds a social perspective to the of language. This presentation will highlight the importance of having context in mind in our teaching practices so that our students are not “lost in translations”.

When’s the last time your students were surrounded by grammar, vocabulary, phrasal verbs and found themselves… loving it? Used in a proactive way, characters and action packed plots have a way of sucking your students in, leaving them wanting more. Reading inspires, introduces new ideas, develops critical thinking, teacher vocabulary and reinforces grammatical structures. It provides a hub for class discussions and allows students something to talk about beyond their own experiences. Yet too often it is either underused in the classroom, or worse, aggressively used to test meticulous details that rob the joy of reading.
