Initial teacher training: challenges and innovations in course design<br />
Willy Cardoso (Freelance<br />
Freelance)<br />
How to provide more opportunities for experiential and reflective practice<br />
in initial qualifications? How can we offer pre-service trainees more than a<br />
survival kit in TEFL? In this talk, I will discuss how 4-week courses can<br />
boost teaching practice hours, reframe the role of lesson planning, and<br />
adopt a materials-light approach.<br />

Learner autonomy in the language classroom: academic writing in<br />
action<br />
Natalia Eydelman (Novosibirsk State University)<br />
In my presentation, I'll discuss the aspects of an academic writing course<br />
for EFL majors aimed at developing their autonomy. I will focus on the<br />
project of "Anti-Plagiarism Newspaper", incorporated in the course to help<br />
students to understand the essence of plagiarism and master writing<br />
without it. I'll explain the set-up and implementation of the course and the<br />
project.<br />

Training university students into digital natives – challenge taken!<br />
Nora Tartsay Nemeth (IATEFL<br />
IATEFL-Hungary<br />
Hungary)<br />
University students of today are typically labelled as ‘digital natives’ based<br />
on their dates of birth. It is surprising, however, how little they know about<br />
online opportunities for self-development. In this interactive talk, I will<br />
share the activities we did with university students to raise their awareness<br />
of digital opportunities, including social networking, social bookmarking,<br />
memes, vines, and more.<br />
