XXXII JORNADAS TEA "WE ARE TEACHERS, AND THEY KNOW IT"

"WE ARE TEACHERS, AND THEY "

Cep Las Palmas, 29 de enero de 2016 Cuidad de Santa Mª de Guía, 30 de enero de 2016

Duración: 15 horas

La temática de las Jornadas 2016 -"We are teachers, and they know it”- implica la constante renovación metodológica que estamos llevando a cabo para que nuestro alumnado se sienta partícipe del proceso de enseñanza en el que está inmerso: son ellos en quienes depositamos nuestras energías, ideas, temáticas, situaciones de aprendizaje,… en definitiva, son nuestro día a día profesionalmente hablando. Y es que nos pasamos el tiempo compartiendo con los compañeros qué vamos a hacer, qué nos ha pasado hoy en el aula, las anécdotas, los resultados, y…cómo no, también nuestros sinsabores. Por el contrario, ellos siempre están comentando nuestro trabajo, nos valoran día a día y nosotros siempre intentamos darles lo mejor de nosotros mismos.

Para renovarnos y escuchar ideas frescas, sugerentes; para reencontrarnos con colegas y amigos en un marco formativo sin igual en Canarias, el 29 de enero nos citaremos en el CEP Las Palmas donde contaremos con presentaciones de ponentes de prestigio local, nacional e internacional en las que incluimos plenarias, talleres; …y el día 30, en la ciudad de Santa María de Guía para realizar una exquisita visita donde conoceremos de primera mano la influencia que los británicos nos han dejado en el norte de la isla de Gran Canaria, en concreto, y en Canarias, en general.

Entre los asistentes, contamos con la participación de una amplia variedad de profesionales del inglés como lengua extranjera, sí, ustedes: profesorado de infantil y primaria, de secundaria y bachillerato, de escuelas de idiomas, universidades, academias, así como formadores de profesores, escritores, editores e investigadores ELT. De entre todos, destaco a nuestros ponentes: Chris Roland, Annie Altamirano y Blanca Díaz (TESOL Spain), Daniela Cecic (British Council), James Easton (Trinity College), Patricia Bergström (Inspirations), Shawn Redwood y Juan Manuel Melgar (Asesor CEP), que nos aportarán sus mejores estrategias para poder seguir con nuestra rutina de una manera más actualizada.

Contaremos también con las últimas novedades editoriales que nos harán afrontar nuestro trabajo con más ilusión y motivación, si cabe.

Asimismo, dentro del marco de las jornadas, celebraremos la reunión anual de las personas socias para, entre otras cosas, elegir la próxima Junta Directiva de la Sociedad Canaria del Profesorado de Inglés –TEA-.

¡Anímate y participa en las XXX II Jornadas TEA! You are always welcome! Junta Directiva TEA Canarias

Anecdotes, examples and photos from my own classes included.

“”Keep Going: Embrace the grind” ABSTRACT OF TALK

This is about basic nuts and bolts teaching. Whatever fuel you're about to run out of, be it energy, time, patience, explanations, activities or warnings, we'll see how far we can get you and your students on what remains by looking at new ways to get the usual business done.

Real-life language skills! Trinity’s Integrated Skills in English (ISE) qualification is a contemporary multi-skills language exam designed for people who need English language skills for study. With a strong focus on real language performance and promoting the development of transferable skills for academic study and employability, ISE assesses the communicative skills needed to succeed in the 21st century. “Not just another song’” ABSTRACT OF TALK

This workshop aims to demonstrate how group dynamics in an integrated skills lesson can help our learners: work together to achieve a successful result; produce work independently; and think creatively. ‘Not just another song’ is an integrated skills activity, which involves performing tasks using language from a song that was inspired by a letter published in a newspaper. The central theme concerns giving advice.
