Revise, Repeat, Recycle: the building blocks for strong language foundations in the pre-primary classroom.
Very young children learn to communicate by participating in routinised, repeated interactions. This session will look at how teachers can create an environment rich in language and communication to support the expansion of learners’ active vocabulary, develop their phonological awareness, and make connections between the spoken word and the creative world of child’s play. We will also explore the importance of revising concepts, repeating activities, and recycling language to build confidence and a strong foundation for future language learning.Mediation in language learning and assessment
In this presentation we will look at some aspects of mediation, i.e. creating bridges to construct or convey meaning, and consider how to better help learners to develop competencies in mediating text, mediating concepts and mediating communication in cross-linguistic and cross-modal contexts.Making a difference
This talk will look at how to encompass aspects of academic, social and cultural differences in the primary classroom, while also considering the variables of learners’ personal preferences. We will explore diversity in a range of contexts, to see how addressing these differences with an inclusive approach can ultimately enrich the learning experience for both learners and teachers alike. The workshop will draw upon material from the primary series Kid’s Box New Generation, published by Cambridge University Press and Assessment. Hotel Plaza São Rafael

Much beyond tea and burgers: Six ways to foster intercultural competence in your classes
The intercultural dimension is one of the five organizational axes of the BNCC and, for many teachers, an uncharted territory in their practice. No matter how old your learners are, gaining intercultural awareness is essential for them to become competent speakers of English who can challenge stereotypes and single identities and accept that cultures are constantly interacting and being built. In this session, we’ll briefly discuss the intercultural dimension in Brazilian and international educational documents and suggest approaches to exploring this territory in class while working on language and developing critical thinking.Where do I fit in now?
With more and more digital self-access resources available to our students, our role as teachers is undergoing a subtle change, from presenter to facilitator, from content-provider to learning coach. These changes offer exciting and interesting new roles both online and face-to-face. In this session we outline the changes and explore the new roles that are emerging in today’s new learning environments.Small talk: encouraging communication in the young learner classroom
Children love communicating, so it’s just a question of getting them to do it in English! Through practical examples and hands-on activities, we’ll look at how we can help young learners improve both their engagement and their speaking skills, to enable them to communicate more efficiently. In this workshop we’ll cover the different areas of communication our students need to focus on: their listening, their speaking and how to successfully bring the two together. We’ll then look at how to effectively incorporate controlled speaking activities into our young learner lessons, in pairs, in small groups and as a whole class.

Bate papo com especialistas sobre um dos assuntos mais importantes da educação nos dias de hoje: a segurança e a convivência no ambiente escolar. Diante do aumento de atentados e casos de violência, vamos conversar sobre o cenário atual das escolas brasileiras e refletir sobre quais os caminhos possíveis para promover uma cultura de paz.Assessment for a successful learning journey
A successful journey in language learning depends on many variables and assessment is certainly one of them. Although present in the teacher’s routine, assessment and its terminologies may cause misunderstandings and lead to the misuse of terms such as assessment, evaluation and testing. Having a clearer understanding of these (as well as other) terms can help teachers better reflect on their teaching practice and, as a result, make decisions that will drive students’ learning. In this session we are going to revisit some terms related to assessment, look at how these terms are reflected in a range of assessment practices and exam preparation activities, and share some resources which can help teachers make their students even more successful in learning English.Making a difference
