Using Podcasts to PowerUp your language classes: In and out of the classroom

Russell Stannard

26th October 5.00 p.m. / 6.00 p.m. Rome Time Zone

In this highly practical presentation, Russell will talk about the role that podcasts can play both in and out of the language classroom. Podcasts are one of the fastest growing forms of digital content and their ease of access and use make them ideal for language learning. Teachers can use them in the classroom to add variety to their lessons but students can also access them outside the classroom and develop their listening skills. This is a talk packed with ideas that are simple to implement but can have a realy impact on your teaching and learning.

Making Thinking and Learning Visible

André Hedlund

9th November 5.00 p.m. / 6.00 p.m. Rome Time Zone

Learning is a complex phenomenon that can be hard to assess, particularly when teachers simply assume what students can or cannot do. In order to really observe learning, we must make it visible. In this session, we will look at a few strategies to help students use thinking routines as well as show what they have learned through different types of media. Participants will be encouraged to take an empirical approach to language teaching and prioritize the collection of evidence from their learners so that they can better assess learning outcomes. This session will explore some tips proposed by Harvard’s Project Zero and John Hattie’s Making Learning Visible.
