[ELTeCS_PERU] IV IATEFL PERU INTERNATIONAL CONFERNCE September 12 : 5.30 -8.30

IATEFL – PERU INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2014
 
"The impact of Innovation: Changes and Challenges in ELT"
 
 Opening Plenary:
ü  CARMEN CACEDA
The ELT Professional Learning Landscape: Challenges, Opportunities, Innovations, and Transformations

Changes (or hopefully transformations) are taking place as we speak, and some of these can be viewed as challenges or as opportunities and they require that we take action straightaway. In Peru, changes in the ELT methodology began to be more explicit in the early 1980s, and this was the result of changes taking place in English speaking countries.
 
First, for this session, I will briefly you take you down memory lane to re-cognize our methods roots, and then I will pinpoint the methods that have impacted the most in our practice. Second, I will make you aware how intertwined the what and the how were/are, but I will argue that we need to move to the why, especially if we want to innovate our teaching.  That is, when we begin teaching English as a foreign/second language, we believe that we are well equipped with the theory and the knowledge of the language (i.e., the what). We then search for how sessions thinking that once we “own” the techniques, we will face fewer issues when teaching. However, few of us realize that is when we consider the what, the how and the why that our teaching can be enhanced. For example, as we put the strategies into practice, we realized that they sometimes do not work as they did in educating sessions. It is then that we begin to question the “validity” of the how and move on (or should move on) to reframe the what and think of the why. Critiquing the theory, our language knowledge, our practice, and the socio-cultural context should foster better professional trajectories since it is our job to build bridges considering the three big questions.
 
Finally, I will share with you some lessons (or gems) learned when crossing different borders (e.g., from teaching high school students to university ones, from teaching in the public sector to the private one, from preparing teachers in Peru to preparing them in U.S.)
 
Gems learned 
1.     Strive to improve the language on a daily basis to be more confident with it
2.     Know the theory since it gives you the basis to understand a technique, but also critique it (i.e., do not only consume it)
3.     Constantly challenge yourself to learn research the theory
4.     Share what you have learned (i.e., at school level or in professional organizations)
5.     When you attend a session: think of ONE strategy or theory that you can translate into your context.  
6.     Know your students’ context and infuse it in your classes, only then can it be called meaningful learning

ü  ROSALÍA VARGAS BERNABÉ- ACPB
FEELING SOUNDS:   PRONUNCIATION MADE PLEASURABLE
What’s the point of learning collocational chunks, grammatical structures or functional phrases without the necessary confidence to say them? Can “pronunciation” be transformed from abstract and intimidating into tangible and accessible, and, therefore, enjoyably transmitted to students?  This plenary shows my own take on the techniques proposed by Adrian Underhill in Sound Foundations, focusing on the physicality involved when working with the phonemic chart.

Venue: Universidad de Ciencias y Humanidades
Av. Universitaria 5175 Los Olivos Telf. (511) 715 - 1533
ROOM: 501 Block A


Paul Seligson has been 'TEFLing' for 37 years. Well-known globally for his lively, highly practical approach, he has an MA in TEFL and is a CELTA assessor and Trinity moderator. His many publications include Helping Students to Speak for the Richmond Teacher's Handbook Series, and Kids' Web (Richmond). His most recent publication is English iD, an innovative 6-level course for young adults written specifically to accelerate learning in Latin America. Paul lives between Brighton, UK and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and is delighted to be coming for the 8th time to Peru.

“Hooking English! Using  Song Lines to Build on Existing Knowledge”
I last spoke about using songs nearly 30 years ago, so I'd like to think I've learnt something since then! Songs are probably our single best source of authentic listening practice, and great examples from which to elicit and build, but that's not how we (and I include myself) have mainly used them in class. Recently, I've been discovering ways to exploit individual lines from songs and working with very short extracts, rather than 'do' the whole song, which often ends up being either:

- a difficult sell, as it's rare to find a song that everybody in a class is really into
- overlong and/or lexically over-complicated
- restrictive, as you simply can't use so many potentially great songs because of the 'naughty bits'.
- overly focused on reading, fishing for structures or vocabulary rather than listening and pronunciation 

Discover exciting ways to use bits of songs to present, practice, personalize, extend, consolidate and memorize or 'hook' almost anything. Empowering students by showing them how much they already know!
