How to maximise the use of English in class and still keep our students at ease
PRESENTER | Najin Lima
ABSTRACT | Why do our students fall back on Portuguese? Is it simply laziness? To what extent are we, teachers, responsible for the use of mother tongue in class? Is that legitimate at all? During this workshop we'll try to come up with some answers
for these questions, drawing from research as well as teachers' experience. The aim is to show that simple actions taken in class can give students the support they need to maximise their use of English in class without frustration. If a word were to be chosen to summarise this workshop, that would be strategies! Your own experience in class is more than welcome, therefore join us!
BIODATA | After graduating in languages (Portuguese/English) from UFPE, Najin Lima took CPE. He then took a Master's in Linguistics. He has taught English for 13 years. He worked for Culturas Inglesas in Recife teaching different groups of all ages and levels including Cambridge preparation courses. He has also taught ESP in colleges. He currently works for Pearson Longman as an ELT academic consultant
Differentiated instruction in the English Language classroom
PRESENTERS | Scott Heald and Virginia Sivini
ABSTRACT | This presentation examines the use of differentiated instruction in the classroom as a recognition of the variety of students' needs, abilities or prior knowledge. It is important to understand and apply the principles and practices
of differentiated instruction where students work toward the same ends, but use differentiated content, processes and products to get there.
BIODATA | Virginia is an EFL teacher. She is experienced in teaching young learners. She holds a post-graduate degree in Applied Linguistics.
BIODATA | Scott is a native English speaker with four years of teaching experience in the EFL field. Both teach at ELC and are working on a Master's Degree in International Education. (Framingham State University)
