Carol’s latest publication, Tiger, is a new Macmillan Primary course with integrated digital resources for teachers and pupils. Carol is currently Vice President of IATEFL (International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language).

Inma PiquerInma works as tècnica docent at the Departament d’Ensenyament (Catalonia) and as an Infant Education Teachers Degree professor at the University of Barcelona. She has a wide experience as an Infant and Primary English teacher in Escola Sant Cristòrfor (Begues) as well as teacher trainer on the programme Impuls per a l’Ensenyament de l’anglès a l’Educació Infantil i Primària offered by the Departament d’Ensenyament in recent years. Inma holds a PhD in teaching English to very young learners. Since 2002 she has been offering teacher training talks and courses all over the country as well as publishing some articles in ELT magazines.

Susan DregerSusan holds a degree in Education from the University of Regina (Saskatchewan, Canada). She has been teaching English in Barcelona since 1991 and has had experience with all ages. Along with teaching EFL, she has also taught Science, Geography and ICT to all ages within the Primary division. She holds a Masters degree in ‘Technology and Tesol’ from the University of Manchester and is currently working at the ‘Departament d’Ensenyament’ in the TAC (technology for learning and knowledge) unit. Part of her duties are finding ICT resources for foreign language classrooms and disseminating them amongst teachers.

His personal passion for sport and literature are combined in his profession of theatre and games.

Sessions

Carol Read Creativity and communication through story and drama(6 to 7-year-olds)

This session shows how a well-managed, whole-child approach to storytelling and drama develops pupils’ potential for creativity and helps them to become confident communicators in English. We will use an integrated combination of multisensory techniques and digital resources to explore ways to engage children in relevant issues and to link learning English to authentic culture and real content. We will also explore the role of storytelling and drama in developing positive values in today’s world.

Inma Piquer Integrating language and arts & crafts (3 to 7-year-olds)

Using arts & crafts in the English language classroom can provide a very powerful tool for learning and getting children to speak. In this hands-on talk, examples of art and crafts activities, which allow us to explore these benefits, will be demonstrated. We will also consider some useful strategies to make the most of children’s artistic creations. Some practical activities, which can easily be adapted and used in any Infant and Primary classroom, will be presented.

Margie MarcPassionate about education and language learning in particular, Margie has been involved in ELT for many years in the capacity of teacher and teacher trainer. She has worked in France, Italy, the UK and Spain and with all levels in both the state and private sectors. Margie holds an MA in Teaching English to Young Learners and is interested in materials and teacher development. She has been a teacher trainer with Macmillan English Language Teaching for the past ten years.

Josefina AresJosefina has been teaching English and teacher training for 16 years. Her experience comes from teaching children, adolescents and adults as well as teacher training. She has worked for International House in various schools around the world and given sessions in English language and methodology for Primary and Secondary teachers at various teachers’ centres throughout Spain Josefina has both the RSA CTEFLA and the RSA DELTA and also has her own school which she uses as a laboratory to test new ideas!

Susan Dreger Cool techy tools(8 to 12-year-olds)

Nowadays, it’s a difficult task engaging our digital natives. By using Web 2.0 tools to captivate our 21st century learners, the aim is to engage them in tasks which enable them to be creative, active learners. English has to be used as a means of communicating and by integrating collaborative tools, students are able to create and share their work with others within their class, school or around the globe!

Ed Cousins Play to learn(8 to 12-years-old)

I am a firm believer that a language cannot be taught. As teachers, we can only create an environment in which it can be learned, and build pupil-teacher relationships which stimulate learning. This session looks at practical hints, tips, Games and techniques on how to make learning English a pleasurable experience for your pupils. Many of these ideas will also lighten your workload and help you come up with your own techniques.

Margie Marc Together everyone achieves more!(ESO)

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 capitalise on one another’s knowledge and skills. Collaborative learning techniques can help us build teams and contribute to a positive learning environment in which students thrive, gain confidence and develop as individuals. In this session, a range of collaborative learning techniques to create a positive learning environment will be demonstrated.

Josefina Ares Did the cat get your tongue? (ESO & Bachillerato)This workshop will reflect on what we do in the classroom and try to deal with some of the problems that we encounter when we want to focus on speaking, and their possible solutions. We’ll also look at how to set up activities in order to get the most out of our students, how to create communicative activities and the general principles behind this skill. Our objective is to try and make our speaking lessons more dynamic – difficult but we’ll try!
