Dear Teacher,
University of Dayton Publishing invites you to University of Dayton Academic Day 2013, where we will be discussing about "Empowering Education". But, how can the English language be related to power? Nowadays being competent in this language implies the access to social and economic power; it is the key to open many doors due to its global use. This situation turns to be an urgent topic for those involved in the ELT field.It is our aim to empower people by sharing effective and up - dated approaches to improve teachers and students' education according to the exigencies of the globalized world.
Join us to make a difference. |

Plenary: Promoting Student Engagement in the Classroom
Do you want a classroom full of motivated students that engage with the material and actively participate in their learning? Participants will be led through a framework which encourages teachers to engage students by going beyond interaction. While implementing interactive activities is a good starting point, the presenter will show how we can maximize their potential by considering several complimentary factors in the lesson, classroom, and activities. In this interactive presentation, we will briefl y look at supporting research and background information for each principle of the framework, and consider concrete tips for implementation.

Plenary: Using Authentic Assessment to Encourage Active Learning in Foreign Language Classes
The use of simulations, projects, presentations, and other active learning methods in foreign language classes improves learning outcomes and encourages learner autonomy. This presentation will explore how to use principles of authentic assessment to evaluate students' work in active classroom settings, and more importantly, how to use information from the assessments to improve instruction. We will discuss rubrics and other strategies to evaluate real-life learning situations, electronic learning environments, the European Language Portfolio and other portfolio formats at all grade levels.
