Help! The photocopier's broken down! A fun, practical<br />
workshop/review/discussion of low-resource activities used in a voluntary<br />
teacher development event for primary teachers in rural Uganda. These<br />
activities are readily applicable to any context, combining classic low- or<br />
no-resources with modern pedagogy to get learners and teachers active<br />
and engaged. Could you too be a volunteer next year? Find out!<br />

The same things done differently: rethinking<br />
language teacher<br />
learning<br />
In keeping with the plenary theme, this workshop examines how ideas<br />
borrowed from teacher education have frozen thinking in language<br />
teaching. Language is both the content that we teach and the medium<br />
through which we learn to teach it. This dual role reshapes a lot about<br />
general teacher education, and makes language teacher learning ‘the<br />
same things done differently’.<br />

Language proficiency profiles - the demise of global language<br />
proficiency<br />
Geoff Tranter (MONDIALE<br />
MONDIALE-Testing<br />
Testing)<br />
Stakeholder interests regarding language learning and testing are varied,<br />
which leads to the important question of the extent to which a global<br />
grading such as "I'm B1" fulfils the various needs. The session will present<br />
a model for language competence profiling, offering a forum for a<br />
discussion on ways of providing as much information as is required.<br />
Around the world in 45 minutes: global justice in ELT<br />
Linda Ruas (Greenwich Community College, London)<br />
Using the free, non-profit website, eewiki.newint.org, we will sample<br />
quizzes and tasks from the teaching sections, and discuss global justice<br />
topics from the self-access learning sections. We will fly around the world<br />
visually, discussing why and how we can bring global justice into ELT,<br />
reviewing and extending teachers' repertoire of tasks.<br />
