Macmillan Secondary Teachers’ Day

5 HOURS OffICIALLy CERTIfIED TRAINING

Page 2: Macmillan Secondary Teachers’ Day · Macmillan Secondary Teachers’ Day Barcelona Dear Teachers, Macmillan ELT is pleased to invite you to the Macmillan Secondary Teachers’ Day

Speakers Speakers Sessions Sessions

Kieran DonaghyKieran Donaghy has taught in the UK, Italy, Portugal and Spain. He works

at UAB Idiomes Barcelona. He is particularly interested in the use of film, he

is the co-author of Films in Health Sciences Education and has an award-

winning blog on the use of film http://film-english.com/.

Steven MuirSteven has worked in ELT as a teacher, teacher trainer and materials writer

for over 20 years. He has taught English to young learners and adults in

Egypt, Hong Kong and Spain. He lives in Madrid and works at the British

Council in Alcalá de Henares.

Tom SpainTom has been teaching English for over 20 years and has spent the last

15 years at the British Council in Madrid designing and teaching courses

for learners of all levels. He is fascinated by the themes of motivation and

group dynamics and, because of this, likes to use a more personalised

methodology in the classroom. Tom enjoys finding and/or adapting

authentic materials for use with students and is a big fan of technology as

a useful tool for helping learners.

Simon wardSimon is a Senior Practitioner Educational Psychologist in England where

his specialism is positive behaviour and well-being. For a number of years,

Simon has been running a variety of projects to develop the attitudes, skills

and experiences which allow individuals and organisations to thrive and

lead to success and achievement. As a regular trainer, he has delivered

seminars on a range of topics including: motivation and learning, positive

behaviour management and solution oriented approaches.

Mª Jesús PáramoMª Jesús is an experienced teacher and teacher trainer. She is also the

co-author of several course books. She has run methodology courses for

CEPs in Madrid and has given numerous workshops at language teaching

conferences around the country.

Jade StevensAn experienced teacher and trainer, Jade has worked with students

of all ages and levels for The British Council in Europe, The Middle East,

and North Africa. He has delivered Cambridge Young Learner courses

(CELTYL) for the British Council and International House, and trained

Primary and Secondary teachers for the Xunta in Galicia. He currently

works as a Teacher Trainer for Macmillan ELT.

Tom waltonAn English teacher, technology trainer and Web designer, Tom has

lived and taught in Spain since 1979 and worked at International House

Barcelona since 1999. He believes technology should only be used in the

language classroom if it’s easy; doesn’t take up a lot of time; doesn’t get

in the way of language learning; and does actually lead to learning.

Plenary – Sala Paranimf

Simon ward Positive behaviour managementIn this highly interactive session, teachers will be encouraged to reflect on

their skills in managing behaviour in the classroom Areas to be covered

include: creating the climate, planning for good behaviour, teacher

response styles, re-direction techniques, the language of discipline and

challenging students. The session will explore practical, positive and

creative strategies for developing classroom management skills.

ROOM 1 – ESO

Mª Jesús Páramo The secret’s in the mix In this session, we look at how to identify mixed ability in the secondary

classroom and provide strategies for dealing with it efficiently and

effectively. We will take into consideration the setting of rules; the

organising of groupwork and co-operative learning and working with

different materials. We will also consider aspects of evaluation and self-

evaluation with mixed-ability groups. Some of this session will be illustrated

with video footage of students from 4º ESO.

Jade Stevens Together everyone achieves more!Language learning requires many forms of interaction in which

communication and collaboration with others is essential. By engaging in

collaborative learning, students not only get to interact with others on a

common task, but they also get to pool and capitalize on one another’s

knowledge and skills. Collaborative learning techniques can help us build

teams and contribute to a necessary positive learning environment in which

learners can thrive to become confident learners, language learners and

individuals. In this session, a range of collaborative learning techniques to

create a positive learning environment will be demonstrated.

ROOM 2 – Batxillerat

Kieran Donaghy Short and sweet: using short films to promote creativity and communication

In this hands-on workshop we’ll explore how short films can be used in the classroom. We’ll look at how we can use short films to promote creativity, and both oral and written communication by doing communicative activities based around a variety of short films. The session will be very practical and involve a lot of teacher participation. Teachers will come away with practical activities to use with their own students.

Tom Spain Creative homeworkI’ve been experimenting with homework tasks for some time now. The goal is to try and link the tasks to students’ interests and hobbies and in that way to actively encourage learner autonomy. We also have regular sharing and feedback in the classroom. There’ll be lots of ideas to try out!

ROOM 3 – EOIs & Private Language Schools

Steven Muir Telly learning In this practical workshop we will look at a range of classroom activities inspired by clips from film, TV and YouTube. These activities focus on a variety of language areas and skills, and can be adapted to use with many other clips. Most importantly, students seem to enjoy them!

Tom walton Technology makes writing better. Discuss.With a view to the sort of writing tasks learners have to do on exams like Selectivitat, FCE and CAE, in this session we’ll be looking what learners can do both in class and outside with tools such as Blogger, Edmodo and Google Docs, as well as an interactive whiteboard and mobile phones, to make writing first of all more collaborative and thus more communicative. If we do, writing becomes more fun and more motivating; and, hopefully as a result, better.
