Abstract: Wenn wir über Bildung sprechen, hat jeder und jede etwas anderes im Kopf. Meist sind die Vorstellugen darüber, was Bildung – was gute Bildung – ist, geprägt von der eigenen Lerngeschichte. Das hat Vorteile, wenn diese in eine Tätigkeit gemündet ist, die einem selbst Sinn und Bedeutung gibt. Der Nachteil ist, dass der rapide Wandel unserer Welt, unserer Lebensrealität, auch die Bildung trifft und betrifft. Und dass wir zu jederzeit unsere Vorstellung darüber, was Bildung jetzt, im 21. Jahrhundert bedeutet, hinterfragen müssen.
Warum lernen wir eigentlich noch in Schulen, wenn wir doch Orts-, Zeit-, und Raumabhängig sind?
Die Antworten liegen in einem verschobenen Fokus auf das Lernen selbst, das wiederum die Sprache im Mittelpunkt der Überlegungen hat. Die Sprache als Mittler, die Sprache als Gegenstand und die Sprache als Schlüssel zum Verständnis einer immer komplexer werdenden Welt.

Abstract: The elephant in the room refers to a major issue which everyone is acutely aware of, but people are avoiding addressing directly. I suggest this has been the case for teacher stress and wellbeing in language education. Although the situation has changed dramatically in recent years with it receiving more attention than previously, we still face a considerable problem in how it is discussed that cannot be swept under the carpet – not when elephant-sized! I outline what we know about the topic taking an ecological perspective which stresses the interaction of social contexts, policy, and leadership as well as the individual agency of teachers. I then consider what kind of concrete actions need to be taken on a structural as well as personal level to empower teachers to enable them not just to survive but to thrive in their professional lives.

Abstract: We might teach our students to make meaning with words, but do we help them communicate effectively with people from different cultures? Do we prepare them for situations where they are faced with unexpected behaviour and communication styles? In this interactive session, we will consider the role culture plays in our interactions and explore the ways how we can manage this complex and fluid social force. We’ll consider some engaging practical ideas using critical incidents and roleplays that encouraging self-reflection and awareness in our students and explore how my ADAPT model can be used to help us be more flexible and manage diversity.
Abstract: For many students, English is a tool for international communication. Students will need to mediate interactions with people from different cultural backgrounds, while accommodating, adapting and accurately interpreting other people, all in a 2nd language. But, how much ownership do they feel of English? How confident do they feel about speaking up in a group setting? Are they able to express their identity in a conflict situation? This talk explores the importance of helping students develop their relationship with English, and considers the strategies and the practical activities we can use to help students make English their own.

Abstract: This presentation will look at the professional competences teachers will need in the face-to-face, virtual (and hybrid?) classroom as the decade progresses, and the implications for initial teacher education and in-service teacher development. We will consider the role of language change and language choices, content and language integration, digital technologies, remote learning and Artificial Intelligence, teachers’ assessment principles and practices, and awareness of the learning environment. These are all potential areas for effective teacher development, and may empower teachers to deal with the challenges of this exceptional decade. The invitation is to consider these competences in the light of the upheaval in teaching and learning which we have all experienced over the first years of the 2020s, alongside the undercurrent of developments in Artificial Intelligence applied to language education, and to examine how teachers may need to reframe and refocus their role. This choice of areas of focus in this talk is not intended to be exhaustive, nor inflexible, but rather a reflection on trends which have been emerging over some time, and are thrown into stark relief by current realities and discussions of possible futures.
Abstract: This workshop will focus on the concept of mediation, as proposed and developed in the Companion Volume to the CEFR (2020) and its implications for classroom practice in language teaching and learning, specifically in the integration of language skills for communicative, action-oriented language use. We will explore the understandable temptation for classroom work on integrated skills to be devoted to teacher-facilitation of opportunities for student language practice, and examine where the actual teaching of language features in such an approach. Through hands-on experimentation with texts, activities and tasks, we will attempt to centre the text as the vehicle for development of mediation competences, and how this may enable us to include a language focus within integrated-skills lessons.

Abstract: I have been working in pre-service teacher education for many years now. All along, the question of what teacher development means and how English teachers become better at what they do has been both professionally and personally intriguing. So what is it that takes teachers forward in their understanding of themselves as professionals, the teaching/learning process and the ability to teach English?
A number of models conceptualise such development as a lengthy process that systematically unfolds over time. Some stress the importance of experience to gain expertise. Others identify predictable stages from novice to expert or frame teacher development as a series of professional life cycles. Other models see ‘newbie teachers’ progress from the periphery towards the core of a community of knowledgeable and skilled practitioners. All these conceptualisations are useful in capturing the psychological, social and professional complexity of teacher development. Yet I have always felt that they do not tell the whole story.
In this perspective, teachers develop very much in the way trees grow, i.e. in a less predictable, more interconnected and holistic fashion. This talk will be a personal exploration of this analogy and the factors that, taken together, I see as contributing to teacher development.
Abstract: In the language classroom, engagement is a key condition for learning to happen. How to get and keep our learners engaged – with the teacher or each other – is also a real challenge. It requires a mode of working which captures students’ attention, thinking and feeling. In my teaching I have found that there are a number of work mode ‘blueprints’ for successful engaging students. All of them require some form of interaction and encourage different kinds of student response. In this workshop, you will experience a selection of such work modes so we can explore what makes them effective in providing a framework for student engagement.

Abstract: Comment faire pour que les élèves se sentent intelligents ?
Au-delà de l’apprentissage des connaissances langagières, dans cette approche, la classe de langue devient le lieu privilégié pour développer des compétences transversales importantes comme la capacité à communiquer, à travailler en équipe, à analyser des situations, à résoudre des énigmes, à relever des défis et à développer la créativité.
Nous explorerons différentes pistes pédagogiques concrètes pour associer à l’apprentissage du français d’autres compétences et aptitudes comme le sens de l’observation, le raisonnement, la logique et plus largement l’aptitude à analyser et comprendre des situations et à résoudre des problèmes.

Abstract: In qualità di insegnante, comprendo l’importanza cruciale di stare al passo con gli strumenti tecnologici più recenti per arricchire l’esperienza educativa e garantire l’inclusività delle mie lezioni. L’eccezionale progresso raggiunto dall’Intelligenza Artificiale è stato ampiamente dimostrato da ChatGPT, evidenziando le sue capacità straordinarie.In questo Con workshop dimostrerò come questa tecnologia all’avanguardia possa rivoluzionare l’approccio didattico, promuovendo al contempo l’inclusione. Condividerò pratici consigli, esercizi e suggerimenti su come integrarla in aula, dimostrando come l’Intelligenza Artificiale non solo può potenziare l’apprendimento linguistico degli studenti, ma anche semplificare la vita dell’insegnante, promuovendo una piattaforma educativa più accessibile a tutti.
Abstract: Credo che non si debba insegnare, ma creare un ambiente coinvolgente e inclusivo in cui tutti gli studenti possano imparare. Questo principio deriva dall’approccio umanistico all’apprendimento e dall’idea che il ruolo dell’insegnante sia quello di essere un facilitatore e un modello, con l’obiettivo di aumentare la motivazione intrinseca e l'“eccitazione“ in classe. La teoria umanistica dell’apprendimento è stata sviluppata da Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers e James F. T. Bugental nei primi anni del 1900. Tuttavia, molti dei principi di questo approccio sono ancora oggi scientificamente rilevanti, poiché la comprensione dei nostri studenti è la chiave per un insegnamento di successo, duraturo e d’impatto. Discuterò di come l’approccio umanistico all’apprendimento delle lingue, secondo la mia esperienza, non solo migliora le competenze linguistiche, ma aiuta anche a sviluppare negli studenti atteggiamenti emotivamente positivi. Mostrerò anche metodologie come l’apprendimento basato su progetti, l’apprendimento basato su compiti e le nuove tecnologie come la realtà virtuale possano essere utilizzate come strumento metacognitivo che rafforza l’idea di imparare facendo. Coinvolgendo gli studenti in esperienze pratiche e di riflessione, essi sono maggiormente in grado di collegare le teorie e le conoscenze apprese in classe alle situazioni del mondo reale.

Abstract: Decía Gandhi que las tres cuartas partes de las miserias y malentendidos en el mundo terminarían si las personas se pusieran en los zapatos de sus adversarios y entendieran su punto de vista. Parece fácil pero no lo es. Para hacerlo es necesario reflexionar y repensar los marcos de conocimiento desde los que sentimos, vemos y actuamos y de los que muchas veces no somos conscientes. Es una tarea llena de obstáculos que se complica aún más cuando los prejuicios, sesgos cognitivos o estereotipos se interponen en nuestro camino. El taller ofrece una serie de ejercicios prácticos para la clase de ELE que quieren facilitar percibir, sentir, reflexionar y, ojalá, entender qué sucede cuando nos ponemos otros zapatos. El objetivo final es desarrollar y mejorar nuestra empatía, elemento imprescindible para facilitar la apertura a diferentes valores y comportamientos y herramienta importantísima, pero pocas veces mencionada, para conseguir una sociedad verdaderamente intercultural.

Abstract: Creativity is not only an essential feature of language use but it will be a key skill for employability over the coming decade. With classrooms moving progressively towards more online delivery how can we ensure that we don’t lose one of the most fulfilling and engaging aspects of learning?
In this session I will share a range of techniques and activities that will enable teachers to add a creative element to their teaching, whether it’s online or face to face. We will also look more closely at how we can help our students develop their creative thinking and problem-solving skills by looking more carefully at the creative process and how we apply different types of thinking.
By the end of this session, you should have a better idea of how creativity works as well as a collection of activities you can use with your students to stimulate their creativity and add another dimension to their language learning, whether it’s online or face to face.

Abstract: ¿Quién no se ha interesado alguna vez por productos o rituales de belleza para lucir una piel o un aspecto más joven? Y es que, la búsqueda del elixir de la eterna juventud es inherente a la condición humana.
Pero, ¿nos interesamos de la misma manera por nuestra juventud cognitiva? ¿Sabemos cómo cuidar y mimar nuestra mente a diario para mejorar nuestra reserva cognitiva o incrementar nuestra creatividad y capacidad atencional?
En esta ponencia se mostrarán estrategias que podemos implementar en nuestro día a día a fin de mejorar la memoria, la capacidad de aprendizaje, la atención, la capacidad creativa y el rendimiento cognitivo en general. Asimismo, se discutirían los factores que afectan a la salud cognitiva, incluyendo la actividad física, la dieta, la higiene del sueño o el manejo del estrés.
También se discutirían las últimas investigaciones sobre la neuroplasticidad y la capacidad del cerebro para reconfigurarse a partir de sencillas técnicas y actividades que pueden llevarse a cabo en nuestro lugar de trabajo.
Abstract: La inteligencia artificial (IA) desempeña un papel cada vez más relevante en nuestras vidas. En el campo educativo, la IA viene pisando fuerte y ya ha empezado a revolucionar las aulas. Si bien el potencial de apoyo que ofrece la IA al proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje es considerable, aún existen lagunas en nuestra comprensión sobre las innumerables posibilidades que puede ofrecernos esta tecnología. En este taller vamos a analizar algunos de los recursos actuales a nuestra disposición que podrían aplicarse en el aula de lengua extranjera a fin de ayudar a nuestros estudiantes a desarrollar la competencia comunicativa en L2 de manera integral, al tiempo que se trabajan otras competencias fundamentales, como la digital, la creatividad o el pensamiento crítico. Asimismo, se presentarán ejemplos concretos de cómo emplear algunas de estas herramientas para facilitarle el trabajo al docente, ayudarle a desarrollar su competencia digital docente y facilitarle el proceso de reskilling y upskilling.
Para finalizar, se reflexionará desde una perspectiva crítica, sobre cuáles deberían ser los instrumentos y procesos de evaluación más indicados para el aula de lengua extranjera en un panorama marcado por la fuerte presencia de la IA y los chatbots.

We will also co-create classroom activities to practise these strategies.
Ho conseguito la Laurea magistrale in Filosofia nel 2011. Appena terminati gli studi ho capito che il mio futuro sarebbe stato nel mondo dell’insegnamento. Quando, ho iniziato a dare lezioni private di italiano a stranieri, ho trovato l’attività molto affascinante. Per questo motivo, ho deciso di iscrivermi a un Master per l’insegnamento dell’italiano a stranieri presso l’Università di Urbino. Dal momento in cui ho iniziato a frequentare il Master, ho subito capito che era la scelta giusta. Durante i miei studi, ho avuto l’opportunità di lavorare come insegnante. Ho insegnato in classi di studenti richiedenti asilo, giovani immigrati che si sono trasferiti in Italia con le loro famiglie, cantanti lirici e studenti stranieri che vengono in Italia per migliorare il loro italiano. La mia motivazione e la mia passione crescevano ogni giorno. Terminato il Master in Didattica della lingua italiana a stranieri, ho approfondito la mia preparazione conseguendo la certificazione Ditals. Da quel momento in poi, non ho mai smesso di insegnare italiano, soprattutto nei corsi organizzati dalla Scuola Italiana di Mondavio. La scuola offre corsi di lingua e cultura italiana per studenti stranieri di qualsiasi età, provenienti da qualsiasi paese. La scuola si trova nello storico „borgo“ di Mondavio, un luogo incantevole dove imparare l’italiano e scoprire i ritmi quotidiani di una bellissima città. Inoltre, la Scuola organizza corsi di formazione per insegnanti di italiano. Mi piace l’idea di insegnare e condividere la mia esperienza con altri insegnanti di tutto il mondo. I nostri punti di forza sono la didattica ludica e il potenziamento delle abilità orali. Ora sono il responsabile della formazione per la Scuola di italiano di Mondavio. Offriamo molte attività per insegnanti di italiano come seconda lingua. Condividiamo tutte le risorse che abbiamo creato e sono felice di viaggiare in tutto il mondo per incontrare e conoscere nuovi insegnanti.
Abstract: Il workshop prevede una prima fase nella quale verranno forniti suggerimenti pratici e idee per insegnare l’italiano con le canzoni. Successivamente, gli insegnanti saranno guidati nella creazione di unità didattiche utilizzando canzoni di Sanremo 2023. L’obiettivo del workshop è mostrare il ruolo che la musica può avere nell’apprendimento, favorendo il coinvolgimento emotivo dello studente.
Abstract: La dimensione ludica ha un ruolo fondamentale nell’insegnamento delle lingue straniere. Durante il workshop, verranno condivisi esempi pratici per favorire l’apprendimento dell’italiano con attività motivanti e divertenti. Le attività proposte verranno sperimentate direttamente dagli insegnanti per riflettere sull’importanza del gioco nello sviluppo delle competenze di produzione orale. Infatti, attraverso il gioco, si crea una situazione di apprendimento ideale per lo sviluppo delle competenze più complesse.

Abstract: As humans, our relationships are important and we thrive when we feel a sense of connection in our daily lives. In education, connection extends beyond this idea of social connectedness to include the deep connections required to make learning effective. However, it can be hard to form these deeper connections in today’s world and lack of genuine connection within our work can lead to teacher burnout. This talk will look at the importance of deep connection in learning environments and offer some ideas and techniques we can use to maximise our own and our learners’ sense of connectedness.
Abstract: How can we be more creative in the classroom, especially when under increasing pressure to meet the demands of standardised curricula and testing? Does creativity require a small act of defiance or rebellion on the part of the teacher? This workshop will offer practical ideas from the Creative Teacher’s Compendium to help you become that flamingo in your teaching.

Abstract: In 2017, Pearson partnered with Nesta and Oxford Martin School to explore the skills that employers would be looking for in 2030. At that time, much was being made about the impact of technology and automation on jobs, and research indicated a disconnect between the opinion of chief academic officers, who felt they were preparing their students for the workplace, and employers who were struggling to find candidates with the right skill set. The global pandemic has, if anything, accelerated changes in the job market and the future seems more uncertain than ever. What is it then that we as educators can do to prepare our learners for such uncertainties? What are the skills that will make them employable in 2030 and beyond? This presentation explores the issues within the context of Pearson’s Employability Framework and introduces the Skill Development Frameworks that have been developed with experts from around the world to help identify increasing mastery of these future skills.

Abstract: La classe de langue offre de nombreuses possibilités pour permettre aux apprenants de développer leur littératie numérique et d’agir en tant que citoyens numériques, ce qui entre dans le cadre des objectifs promus par les grandes organisations internationales intervenant dans le domaine éducatif, notamment le Conseil de l’Europe (Caws et al., 2021; Ollivier et al., 2021).
Au cours de cette session, nous examinerons d’abord ces opportunités et passerons en revue certaines recherches dans ce domaine pour essayer d’établir ce que signifient la littératie numérique et la citoyenneté numérique, particulièrement dans le contexte de l’enseignement et de l’apprentissage des langues.
Nous ouvrirons ensuite des pistes didactiques concrètes pour la mise en œuvre de ces objectifs à travers une approche socio-interactionnelle fondée sur la réalisation de tâches ancrées dans la vie réelle permettant aux apprenants de faire l’expérience de la communication authentique et de l’action citoyenne au-delà des murs de la classe.
Nous présenterons enfin brièvement ces tâches qui permettent aux apprenants de devenir des utilisateurs de langues et d’adopter une nouvelle posture dépassant celle d’apprenants et nous réfléchirons aux compétences qu’elles requièrent.
Abstract: Dans cet atelier, nous explorerons des pistes pour la mise en œuvre de la sensibilisation à la citoyenneté numérique dans l’enseignement des langues à travers des tâches numériques. En nous basant sur le travail effectué par deux projets (e-lang citizen, un projet mené au Centre européen pour les langues vivantes, https://www.ecml.at/elangcitizen, et un projet Erasmus+, Lingu@num, http://www.linguanum.eu), nous présenterons ce que nous appelons des „tâches ancrées dans la vie réelle“ et partagerons divers exemples de ces tâches. Nous montrerons comment elles peuvent être réalisées par les apprenants en dehors de l’environnement de la classe sur des sites participatifs ouverts, tels que des guides de voyage (WikiVoyage), des encyclopédies en ligne (Wikipedia), des forums (Reddit), des catalogues de livres audio (Librivox), etc.
Nous discuterons de la manière dont ces tâches peuvent être mises en œuvre dans divers contextes éducatifs pour amener les apprenants à faire l’expérience d’une communication authentique et à s’engager dans des actions sociales en tant que citoyens au-delà des murs de la classe. Nous examinerons enfin comment les apprenants peuvent développer à la fois leurs compétences linguistiques et leur citoyenneté/littératie numériques en réalisant ces tâches et comment ces tâches leur permettent de mener une réflexion sur les/leurs comportements en ligne.
À la fin de l’atelier, les participants auront appris à développer et à mettre en œuvre des tâches ancrées dans la vie réelle adaptées à leur propre contexte d’enseignement.
