TE INVITAMOS A DISFRUTAR EL DÍA Sábado 13 de abril DE DOS TALLERES, AMBOS ESTARÁN A CARGO DE LA PROFESORA María Celeste GRIMAU.

EL PRIMER TALLER SERÁ: "Songs to Teach and to Reach”

Songs are a wonderful way to motivate students "There is strong evidence supporting the use of music in the ESL classroom. Language and music are tied together in brain processing by pitch, rhythm and by symmetrical phrasing. Music can help familiarize students with connections and provides a fun way to acquire English." From Music and Language Learning by Bob Lake

The purpose of this workshop is to help teachers choose the correct songs to use in the English class and plan for activities to exploit the songs according to their students´ s levels, needs and tastes. We will also analyze the values that each song can transmit to the learners.

TIME: From 10 a.m. to 1p.m.

EL SEGUNDO TALLER SERÁ: “A Festival of Games”

Abstract

Games are whole language activities that foster the development of the four language skills, cater for the three learning styles and bring energy. The presenter will explore the three learning styles through the use of original games and   reflect on the use of these games in a real classroom.

During the presentation all participants will be encouraged to play the games proposed and in this way be able to place themselves in their students’ shoes. People learn better by doing and experimenting. After playing participants will analyze the use of these games and see how they can transfer them into their real teaching practice. My goal is to MOVE TEACHERS BY MAKING THEM MOVE. Teachers will discover that their aim is not only teaching the language but also helping students enjoy the process and in this way become that unforgettable teacher that all teachers would like to be.

TIME: From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

VENUE: “Chambela Maronde” – Salón de Eventos

Authentic materials are of great help in the EFL classroom, but they can also demotivate your students when used wrongly. How could songs, films, social networks, among others, be potentially pedagogically rich both for you and for your students? How could literary classics be incorporated into your lessons without becoming a bore? What literature must be used: literature with a capital L or with a small l? How can a song or a poem turn into a full learning experience?
If you have ever asked yourself one of these questions, then you are welcome to join this workshop. We will explore the many possibilities of exploitation of authentic materials. We will look into and analyse some examples and develop different teaching sequences with authentic materials to add a new dimension to your classroom.

Que enseñes no significa que aprendan - Neurociencias, liderazgo docente e innovación en el aula en el siglo XXI" de Lewin, Laura de Editorial Bonum
Es un libro de fácil lectura que aporta una reflexión acerca de cómo necesitan aprender los alumnos del siglo XXI.
¿Es posible que muchos docentes estén más enfocados en ellos que en sus alumnos? ¿Es posible que estén demasiado concentrados en enseñar y no en ayudar a aprender?
Muchos docentes enseñan de la manera en que ellos aprendieron y se encuentran con que sus prácticas áulicas no son compatibles con sus alumnos de hoy. Las neurociencias nos revelan datos sorprendentes que pueden ayudarnos a ser más eficientes en el aula. Los enfoques socio-emocionales favorecen una educación integral para que los alumnos no sean simplemente buenos desde lo académico o técnico, sino que puedan desenvolverse en un futuro laboral o profesional con éxito, habiendo desarrollado habilidades que este siglo ya no considera opcionales, como la creatividad, la comunicación efectiva, la pro-actividad, el aprender de los errores o mantenerse motivado a pesar de las dificultades, entre otras.
Este libro es acerca de cómo generar las mejores condiciones para enseñar y aprender en este siglo. El libro aporta ideas, consejos, estrategias y ejercicios de reflexión acerca de:
- A quién le enseñamos
- Qué enseñamos
- Cómo lo enseñamos
- Dónde lo enseñamos
Espiar su Indice nos abre la cabeza:
Ver lo invisible – Haciendo foco en las prácticas del aula – Hacemos lo que hacemos porque pensamos lo que pensamos - ¿Qué estamos enseñando? - ¿Qué necesitan aprender nuestros alumnos en el siglo XXI? – Enseñar habilidades para el futuro – La importancia del pensamiento crítico - ¿Cómo estamos enseñando? – La motivación en el aula – Las neurociencias nos ayudan – El rol de las emociones en el aula – El estrés en el aula – El mindfulness – Moverse para aprender mejor – El arte y los procesos cognitivos - ¿Están aprendiendo? – Enseñar no es sinónimo de aprender – Estudiar para fines ocasionales – La cuestión de la evaluación - ¿Dónde y con qué enseñamos? – El aula como espacio de aprendizaje – La tecnología entra al aula – Flipped classroom o aula invertida – Disciplina y manejo del aula – La clave de un buen clima – Tener el control – Respeto, autoridad, confianza – Liderazgo docente – Innovar en el rol – Somos
