Welcome to FAAPI 2013 Dear Delegates, On behalf of the APIBA Executive Committee, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to you to the 38th FAAPI Annual Conference. A hard-working team has gone out of their way over the last year to ensure you have a stimulating and memorable Conference.

This is the third edition of the FAAPI Annual Conference held in the City of Buenos Aires and organised

by APIBA. FAAPI 1994 was held at the Escuela Normal Superior en Lenguas Vivas “J. F. Kennedy” (now “S. B. Spangenberg”) and FAAPI 2001 was held at U.C.A. We hope that FAAPI 2013 at U.C.A.’s new Convention Centre will live up to the high standards set by its two Buenos Aires predecessors as well as by the many successful past FAAPI Conferences organised by our sister Associations.

In planning FAAPI 2013, we have aimed to strike a balance between tradition and innovation. In the next pages you will find an extensive programme including pre-conference events, 10 Keynote Speakers, over 150 papers, workshops, as well as new presentation types such as discussion groups, good practice stories and digital posters. There are also four academic presentations, four thematic panels, a Professional Development track, a Training for Teacher Associations track, Meet & Greet sessions, commercial presentations, an exhibition of the latest in teaching materials, and a social programme with plenty of opportunities for entertainment and networking. FAAPI 2013 will also provide an “unconference” space, where everyone will have the chance to meet informally and engage in fruitful conversation and knowledge socialisation. Apart from the traditional meeting of FAAPI Associations, there will also be a SIGs Meeting, to which all SIG Members, and those who would like to find out more about SIGs, are most welcome.

We would like to highlight very specially the FAAPI ’13 Virtual Platform, which brings our conference to teachers who are unable to attend in person. Both on-site and virtual delegates will be able to watch and download papers, slide and video presentations, and digital posters. Keynote Presentations will be recorded and/or broadcast live and, throughout the Conference, there will be online forums and social networks for everyone to exchange ideas.

We have also striven to offer a fair representation of international, regional and national speakers, with colleagues from BA, GBA and various Argentine provinces. Throughout the Programme and in the Index of Presenters you will see APIBA has continued what we consider a good institutional habit of highlighting which speakers are members of FAAPI Associations as a way of fostering a sense of belonging to a Professional Association of graduate teachers.

The Conference is the result of the painstaking work of a team of highly-committed individuals and organisations that support our mission to provide quality professional development. A big thank you to all of them, and especially to you, conference delegate, for devoting the next three days to your professional growth.

Welcome to Buenos Aires, enjoy the conference and I hope you have a truly enriching experience.

Analía Kandel, M.A. APIBA President presidente@apiba.org.ar

17:00 (Room A) The Politics of Pronunciation this doesn’t mean that pronunciation teaching should be abandoned altogether. There is a middle ground: there is a difference between training people to talk like RP drones, and helping them to speak in a way that is expressive and clear to anyone listening. Although individual accents should be respected, there comes a point where pronunciation habits can be a limitation to fluency.

This presentation will show that pronunciation teaching should be flexible, and tailored to students’ individual goals, and will present key skills and concepts that are useful for teaching different pronunciation models.

There is space for both sensitivity and rigour within pronunciation teaching, and without either one of them, we are letting our students down.

Traditional approaches to teaching English pronunciation are based on Received Pronunciation.

This is often presented as being the ‘standard’ or ‘correct’ form of spoken English. But the linguistic landscape is continually changing – even Received Pronunciation as a speech system is changing. What was considered ’standard’ 30 years ago now sounds ‘old fashioned’... In the UK, Received Pronunciation is no longer held up as being the only ‘correct’ way to speak English. What does this mean for English Pronunciation teaching in an international context?

Can we still speak about ‘standard’ accents in the era of Globish?

Accents reflect our identities, and no one way of speaking is inherently better than another. However,

14:30 (Room C) Workshop 15: Practical pronunciation

Pronunciation teaching has taken a one-size-fits all approach, based on ‘standard’ Received Pronunciation textbooks for too long. Dialect coach Helen Ashton will question the position of RP, and argue that the goals of pronunciation teaching ought to be considered on a case by case basis, and tailored to meet students’ needs. Drawing on her training as a voice coach, Helen will demonstrate that speech is a physical act – speech sounds are formed by muscles of the mouth and breathing system. These muscles develop habits,

which enable us to easily, habitually speak with our own accents. In order to pronounce English speech sounds differently, these muscles need to be trained to move differently. Helen will introduce you to techniques that enable this, as well as presenting a hierarchy of goals for a systematic approach to pronunciation teaching.

In this seminar she will highlight the deal-breakers, quick fixes and basic anatomy that EFL teachers need to know to help develop students’ clarity and fluency, rather than training them to speak verbatim RP. 13

10:30 (Room A) The Landscape of English Language Teaching: Roots, Routes and Ramifications

The last two decades have seen considerable changes in the landscape of English language teaching in our midst. This presentation will outline the background to these changes, the current trends worldwide and in our region, and how they influence the reality of teachers of English today. The influence of legislation, market forces, disciplinary developments, and

different types of actors has been felt in various ways and continue to shape the professional lives of teachers. Enhanced awareness of these influences is an essential component of professional development that will allow teachers to make informed decisions about their careers.

10:00 (Room A) Real life activities as the basis for teaching in multilingual contexts and perception of the role of everyday concepts and experiences in creating perejivanie - strong cognitive and emotional experience (Vigotski, 1933-34/2006, p.

383). In multilingual teaching contexts, working with activities involves learning different subject areas while, simultaneously, performing roles in social activities recreated in play inside the classroom. In order to illustrate this process, participants will play with data from a research project that works with bilingual teacher education (English-Portuguese and French-Portuguese) and create possibilities to reflect about their own contexts.

This workshop offers the opportunity to discuss how different content areas can be articulated in order to connect learning to students’ every day activities.

According to Leontiev (1977), an activity, supported by rules, division of labor and community, takes place within three focal points: the subjects, the object on which they act and the specific artifacts developed from the experiences of previous generations. Working with real life activities in the classroom promotes students’ insertion and transformation of reality. In other words, teaching-learning involves both the knowledge accumulated by previous generations in the form of scientific concepts and the understanding Saturday

15:00 (Room A) Performing in a Creative Pre-Service Bilingual Teacher Education

This plenary will discuss pre-service bilingual teacher education within a socio-historical-cultural perspective (Vygotsky, 1934/2001 & Leontiev, 1977). Teacher education is seen as a network of revolutionary activities in which transformation is defined in and by the process of production of new realities for all participants. This perspective of bilingual teacher education follows a creative

inspiration, which understands that participants are active in the construction of their professional skills.

That is, they do not simply talk about teaching and teaching practices but they engage in activities that are present in school contexts. So they play with the reality they are learning, performing as teachers (Holzman, 2009; Vygotsky, 1930).

9:00 (Room A) Communicating across cultures: encounters in the “contact zone”

One of the central concerns of foreign language learning is how to communicate our changing identities in languages used to express worldviews different from our own. In a context of growing intercultural communication, reading and responding to texts in which cultures come into contact can help us develop intercultural awareness, as the encounter with otherness can encourage reflection on how meanings can be communicated across cultures.

for foreign languages and is a transversal objective in foreign language curricula in different regions of Argentina. However, teachers often find it challenging to plan their classes with an intercultural focus. This presentation explores a variety of literary texts written in English in which intercultural encounters are highlighted and proposes activities and resources for the classroom which aim at developing the linguistic repertoire necessary to express our own meanings in English.

Intercultural competence is at the core of the national guidelines (“Núcleos de aprendizaje prioritarios”)

14:30 (Room A) Roots and Routes in Developing Writers

Over the last 30 years writing has gone from being the Cinderella skill, to a core area of communication in 21st century life. Our children may not see it is as developing writing skills every time they post on Facebook, text or tweet, but these are forms of writing on an evolving continuum of spoken-written language and, as such, they influence how writing develops.

This Plenary will discuss the ‘roots’ – the range of experiences - people draw upon in developing their

writing skills, including the burgeoning range of online writing contexts available today. It will then move on to consider how we as teachers can provide ‘routes’ into writing for our foreign language learners.

Issues involved include background (academic, linguistic, genre etc), personal characteristics (eg expectations and approaches to learning) and the resources drawn upon (including the new concept of ‘literacy brokers’).

12:00 (Room A) Lessons from Research on Immersion Programs in Canada

Second language immersion programs were first introduced in Canada in 1965 as an alternative and more effective approach for promoting second language proficiency. At their inception, these programs were considered radical because they not only taught the second/foreign language as a subject, but they also taught non-language subjects, such as science and mathematics, through the second language. Immersion programs can now be found in many communities around the world and have been the subject of intense and extended research attention. In this presentation, I will discuss the rationale for immersion and describe alternative forms of immersion and key

features of each. I will then summarize research findings on the effectiveness of these programs. Findings from research will be used to address the following questions: How effective are immersion programs in promoting students’ proficiency in a second language? Do students’ first language skills or academic achievement suffer? Are immersion programs suitable for students with learning challenges? Is it better to start immersion early and is more exposure to the second language advantageous? Are there certain pedagogical practices that are particularly effective? The implications of these findings for program development and instruction will be discussed.

14:30 (Room A) Myths and Misunderstandings about Dual Language Acquisition in Young Learners

There has been growing interest in children who learn language in diverse contexts and under diverse circumstances. In particular, dual language acquisition has become the focus of much research attention, arguably in response to growing awareness that dual language learning is common in children. A deeper understanding of dual language learning under different circumstances is important to ensure the formulation of theories of language learning that encompass all language learners and to provide critical information for clinical, educational, and other practical

decisions that touch the lives of young language learners. This talk will review research findings on dual language learning in both school and non-school settings, among simultaneous and sequential bilinguals, and in typically-developing learners and those with an impaired capacity for language learning. Key findings with respect to common myths and misunderstandings that surround dual language acquisition in young learners will be reviewed and discussed and their implications for both theoretical and practical matters will be considered.

16:00 (Room A) La enseñanza de las lenguas extranjeras en la construcción del plurilingüismo en América Latina

La enseñanza de las lenguas extranjeras, en su larga historia en América Latina, se ha concebido y practicado en forma bastante aislada de los contextos de multilingüismo y sus condicionantes socio-culturales y económicos. Sin embargo, los avances de la investigación interdisciplinaria ponen en relieve las complejas interrelaciones lingüísticas, cognitivas y socioeconómicas que determinan este campo y lo relacionan con dos espacios de bi y multilingüismo que se ubican en polos opuestos de la escala social: la educación indígena bilingüe y las

escuelas bilingües privadas de élite, cada una con sus respectivas comunidades de sustento. Una política integradora de las lenguas y la educación tendrá que señalar de qué manera los espacios de las lenguas extranjeras, lenguas inmigrantes y lenguas indígenas podrán contribuir a una transición desde posiciones tradicionales que consideran la diversidad lingüística como un problema, hacia orientaciones y prácticas que promueven un plurilingüismo enriquecedor de las sociedades latinoamericanas en su conjunto.

Now more than ever, understanding other cultures and using language so that we can communicate across cultures without distortion or misinterpretation are vital competencies. Intriguing questions face us as language educators such as: Can you be bilingual without being bicultural?

What does it mean to be bicultural? Multicultural?

What do we mean when we say that you can’t learn another language without learning its culture? What does that look like in our classrooms?

As language teachers, how do we decide what students should learn about intercultural communication?

When should they learn it, and how? How will we know if students have learned well?

Despite differences, one factor remains constant:

because immersion programs deliver schooling through a new language, immersion teachers must be skilled as both content and language teachers. This session will provide details on program types, teacher skill sets, and include video clips of immersion classrooms.

10:00 (Room A) Prácticas y repertorios plurilingües escolares: miradas desde la etnografía y la interacción cual se ve interpelada por nuevos datos y nuevas categorías, muchas veces incompatibles con la visión fragmentaria y parcializada de las lenguas, las culturas y sus relaciones, vigente en las propuestas actuales de enseñanza.

Es objetivo de esta ponencia poner en diálogo los resultados de estas investigaciones con algunas propuestas didácticas actuales, que recuperan la actividad, la diversidad y la interdisciplinariedad como ejes centrales de trabajo en el aula. Para ello, se expondrán dos casos distantes y en diálogo. Por un lado, el estudio de la socialización lingüística escolar de niños y jóvenes migrados a Barcelona (20042009), que nos servirá para revisar tres nociones importantes para una didáctica plural de las lenguas: prácticas plurilingües; repertorios plurilingües; comunidad de habla. Por otro lado, el estudio de las interacciones bilingües en escuelas wichis del Chaco (2010-2013), las cuales nos posibilitarán adentrarnos en las relaciones complejas entre identidad, poder y aprendizaje de lenguas.

La sociolingüística contemporánea ha mostrado que el trabajo etnográfico y el análisis interaccional pueden coexistir en una propuesta de investigación cualitativa orientada hacia la descripción de las formas en que se despliegan y se modifican los repertorios lingüísticos en contextos escolares. Para estas investigaciones, la descripción de las prácticas y repertorios plurilingües necesita no sólo considerar la mirada del investigador en la adscripción de los rasgos verbales a una lengua u a otra, sino, especialmente, el estudio de las formas en que los propios hablantes categorizan o “tratan” las formas del habla, explotando comunicativamente o bien el contraste entre sistemas verbales –base del cambio de lenguas o codeswitching-, o bien, la convergencia, potencialmente emergente en formas mixtas, híbridas o bivalentes.

Este giro epistemológico, que descentra el monolingüismo en la teoría lingüística contemporánea y pone en evidencia la necesidad de nuevas categorías para describir los códigos semióticos en juego en interacciones multilingües, impacta, creemos, en la didáctica de las lenguas, la

11:30 – 12:30 (Room B) Moving Beyond The App: What counts as a serious technology-mediated instruction?

As with many innovations in Education, the use of technology for instructional purposes has been tied to a view of teaching not very dissimilar from that promoted by traditional approaches. Because of various reasons (lack of adequate teacher preparation, strong pedagogical traditions, insufficient technical support, among others), the implementation of technologymediated learning has received more criticisms than compliments. In this presentation we will go beyond the “frills and thrills” of technology in the classroom.

Bymoving beyond the tools (applications, programs, and platforms) and focusing on the interactions that ensue from teacher and student involvement with technology we will disclose the principles for a sound online pedagogy. In short, we will attempt to redirecttechnology-mediated instruction towards its true goal: that of promoting quality student learning.

“ICT and Teaching: Collaborating to build knowledge?”

15:30 – 16:30 (Room B) We have often heard there is fear of technology among educators. Some believe MOOCs will kill the class or that data will dehumanise college, or perhaps that e-books will kill the book. What is the current situation in our classrooms? How does ICT impact our teachers and students? Teaching and learning with ICT does not facilitate a common experience, but rather facilitates an experience each person can make their own, it allows for a different timing, and degree of awareness-raising.

Concurrent Sessions – Papers P1 • What do Gibraltarians speak?

The purpose of this paper is to delve into the interesting form of bilingualism used in Gibraltar. Llanito is neither a language nor a dialect. It is a combination of Andalusian Spanish, English, Dutch, and Hebrew in which code-switching plays the main role. Mispronounced English words as if they were Spanish, words from other languages and unique Gibraltarian words, all combined, reflect the nature and history of Gibraltar.

Ferreiro, María del Carmen (APIZALS)

P2 • Narrative Enquiry within Argentinean EFLTE: Crafting Professional Identities and Knowledge through Students’ Tales

This paper summarises a narrative inquiry developed in 2007-2011 with students attending the sophomore course Overall Communication, EFLTE Program, School of Humanities, UNMDP. It analyses the written biographical narratives and descriptions that emerged during and after classes. Categories of analysis derived from narrative examination of gathered texts are interpreted in their contexts of production and reception. Results indicate that, in sharing their stories, students redefined their professional identities. These outcomes reposition narrative inquiry within EFLTE. Sarasa, María Cristina (with the support of Facultad de Humanidades, UN Mar del Plata)

P3 • Interculturalidad en las Clases de Lenguas Extranjeras: Uso vs. Forma y Estructura.

La enseñanza de las lenguas extranjeras ha cambiado notablemente. Ahora prevalece la idea de que los estudiantes adquieran conocimientos acerca de la cultura de los países donde se hablan esas lenguas. En los nuevos enfoques de enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras se da mayor énfasis a la competencia intercultural.

Se privilegia el uso de la lengua sobre su forma y estructura. Se analiza la experiencia concreta en la Universidad Nacional del Sur. Oostdyk, María Patricia (APIBB)

P4 • Life of Pi: A Winding Route Towards Cherishing One’s Roots

The aim of this paper is to explore the metafictional techniques applied by Yann Martel to his 2001 novel Life of Pi. Pi Patel, a 16 year old Christian, Muslim and Hindu Indian boy is the protagonist of this adventure story. It is the contention of this paper that through those techniques the author questions the nature of fiction and exposes the illusion in order to delve into issues of spirituality and practicality.

Cuello, Mónica B. (APIBA)

P5 • The Use of Multimodal Resources to Explore a Text’s Voices

Based on a systemic functional approach to language and drawing on multimodal studies, this paper proposes the use of some multimodal tools to help students identify and graphically represent the various voices present in a written text. We believe that such identification and representation process can help students become more critical readers by recognizing the identities construed in a given text instead of viewing a text as a single-voiced, indisputable cultural product.

Cúneo, Rosa I. (ASJPI) & Sánchez Romera, Carolina N. (ASJPI)

P6 • ESP: A Medium to Develop Linguistic Competence and Professional Identity

Teaching English for Specific Purposes at University poses a two-fold objective - develop linguistic competence to help students meet their academic and labour needs and contribute to the construction of their professional identity. This presentation will show how learning can be enhanced by applying an autonomizing methodology that leads students to explore discourse types typical in their particular community. The results obtained will demonstrate the importance of sustaining the use of such methodology in time.

Valenti, Viviana (APrIR) & Galimberti, Marisa

P7 • Meet the Words: A Philological and Socio-Cultural Approach to Discourse Analysis at Teacher Training College

This paper intends to pose a reflection on the way language should be presented to, analysed and experienced by advanced college students in order to enhance successful processing and production. Words gain new significance because their story, the very essence of their existence helps the learner grasp its full signification. It is only through this ‘non-arbitrary’ approach that their hidden voice becomes heard.

Viale, Florencia (APrIR) 46

Concurrent Sessions – Papers P8 • Integrating “Culture and Communication” as a Reading Course at Secondary School

This paper is intended to share the experience of integrating “Culture & Communication”, a school subject, into the school curriculum as a reading course in English. It will display a number of classroom activities to illustrate various reading strategies. Also, reference will be made to the learners’ progress as readers who can profit from the reading experience not only to improve L2 linguistic competence but also to enrich their knowledge of a specific subject matter.

López, Sara I (APIT)

P9 • Integration of Students with Special Educational Needs

The paper will present a case study of a teaching experience with a 17-year-old learner with borderline personality disorder at secondary school: the factors that affected the process and the participants who intervened in the instances of success and failure will be discussed plus the suggested procedures, arrangements and adaptations carried out to cater for his special educational needs. Finally, reflection on the whole experience and its impact on teachers´ personal and professional development will also be put forward.

García, María Silvina (APIER) & Graizzaro, Gabriela (APIER)

P10 • The Role of Vocabulary Teaching and Learning in the Development of Intercultural Communicative Competence in EFL Textbooks

This paper aims to explore the ways in which vocabulary teaching and learning contribute to the development of intercultural communicative competence (ICC) as reflected in EFL coursebooks currently employed for elementary level General English courses in Argentina. Three locally produced and three international / global textbooks have been examined in order to provide some insights into the instructional practices presently deployed for dealing with vocabulary as a key component of ICC in classroom settings.

Helale, Gabriela (ACPI); San Martín, María Gimena (ACPI); Barboza, Paola (ACPI) & Alcázar, María José (ACPI) with the support of ACPI

P11 • What’s in a Label? Identity and Liminality in “Bra” by Rhina Espaillat

The poem ‘Bra’ by Rhina Espaillat explores complex thoughts about identity and language and hints at a subtle critique of neocolonialism and the comfortable complicity that supports it. We will use Francine Kral’s reflections on identity and language, García Canclini’s thoughts on hybridization and Roger Fowler’s concepts on linguistic criticism, among others, to analyze the formal and thematic features that make ‘Bra’ such an enriching text.

Alemán, María José (ASPI); Michel, María Marta & Company, Susana (ASPI)

P12 • Pensamiento Crítico, Reflexión, Conciencia Cultural Crítica: Características de la Interculturalidad en la Lectura en Lengua Extranjera Este trabajo informa sobre un estudio que utiliza el Modelo de Competencia Intercultural (MCI) de Byram (1997, 2008, 2012) para investigar la dimensión cultural de la lectura en lengua extranjera en un contexto universitario. Este modelo sirve como sustento teórico y se constituye en medida de análisis. Partiendo de dos instrumentos de investigación (respuesta textual, entrevista), los resultados indican un alto nivel de conciencia cultural crítica, central en el MCI. Porto, Melina (APIBA)

P13 • 21st Century Skills for Young Learners

We live in a rapidly changing world, one that is increasingly interconnected, and young learners need to learn skills that will enable them to successfully communicate and collaborate across borders and cultures.

When teaching children how to use English as an international language. This session will answer the questions: What are 21st century skills and how can teachers of young learners foster them in their English language curriculum?

Concurrent Sessions – Papers P14 • Barriers, Borders and Crossings in British Postcolonial Fiction. A Gender Perspective

The purpose of this session is the presentation of my book Barriers, Borders and Crossings in British Postcolonial Fiction. A gender Perspective, just published by Cambridge Scholars in the U.K. The book analyses and compares contemporary British novels by writers of migratory origin within the context of postcolonialism, postmodernism and contemporary gender theories. Although there is similarity in the philosophical and literary approach of the writers studied, I propose that the masculine and the feminine perspectives manifest themselves in the choice of genre of their respective novels.

Acquarone, Cecilia (APrIR)

P15 • Comparative Analysis of Cultural Expressions

The presentation intends to share with the audience the results of a project carried out by teachers of English from Jujuy in a rural school in Iturbe (Quebrada de Humahuaca). This project was the winner of the Small Grant Competition organized by the US Embassy in Argentina. It was based on a series of talks on Argentine and U.S. cultures for youth from Quebrada de Humahuaca and neighboring towns.

Rodríguez, María Fernanda (AJPI); Ferrara, Candelaria (AJPI) & Salinas, Silvia (AJPI)

P16 • Celeste or Blue? The Importance of Culture in Teaching Vocabulary

The purpose of this talk is to remind ourselves, teachers of English, of the importance of culture in the process of vocabulary acquisition in L2. Firstly, I will delve into the process of concept formation focusing on the influence of culture in that process. I will refer to linguistic determinism as an extreme version of that influence before concentrating on Pinker’s Mentalese and Fodor’s theory. The conclusion is meant to be awareness-raising.

Esquerré, Analía (APIBA)

P17 • The Future Teacher of English in Argentina: The Roles of the Humanities, Research and Collaboration in the New Curricula

According to the proposal made by the Consejo Federal de Educación (Res. 167/12) and the schedule designed by Ministry of Education, curriculum designs for teacher education should be revised for implementation in 2015 at the latest. This paper reviews the role the new curricula give to the humanities, research and collaborative work to uncover the way in which teacher education and the role of English Teachers within the Argentinean educational system are envisaged.

Ibañez, María Susana (ASPI) & Lothringer, Raquel (APrIR)

P18 • Interweaving Critical Reading of Media Texts and Culture in a First Year Teacher Training College We had three main purposes. A first aim was to raise students’ awareness on the construction of ‘the Other’ in the written media and how language and the social sphere become essential in this process. Another aim was the introduction of critical reading in our classes. Thirdly, we aimed at introducing research work during a first year course at Teacher Training College. The texts chosen by the students showed how power structures shape the construction.

Naom, Claudia (APIBA) & Carreño, Leandro (APIBA)

P19 • Between Worlds: Two Intercultural Bilingual Programs in Misiones

Two bilingual programs are being implemented in Misiones: one involving schools on the borderline Argentina-Brazil, and the other directed to Mbya Guarani children. Both programs are framed within an intercultural bilingual education approach and carried out in schools that belong to the Bilingual Intercultural Education Modality. We hereby discuss the peculiarities of each of the experiences, their strengths and weaknesses, from the viewpoint of public officers coming under the Ministry of Education in Misiones.

Prytz Nilsson, Liliam (APIM) & Espíndola, M. Martha (APIM) with the support of MCECyT (Misiones)

P20 • How Do Languages, Culture and Identity Interact in the EFL Classroom Today?

This communication aims at presenting some preliminary observations of an intercultural experience of EFL learners from a language school in the city of San Juan with English speaking students, from the USA, whose language and culture they are studying.

Femenía, Pamela (ASJPI) 48

Concurrent Sessions – Papers P21 • TIC en el Aula: A Free Platform for Teachers by Teachers

It is of crucial importance for all professionals to keep abreast of changes, and educators --mainly teachers of English, who are fortunate to have myriads of online alternatives for professional development will find in this workshop the chance to evaluate many annual conferences, social networks and communities of practice which will be mentioned, as attendees share their views and experiences using them in their own personal contexts.

Zeinstejer, Rita (APrIR) & Verschoor, Jennifer (APIBA) with the support of SBS Argentina

P22 • Reflecting on Identity and Intercultural Issues through Literature

This paper explores identity and interculturality in two literary texts: the famous novel Beloved by Toni Morrison and a short story by Cecilia Rodríguez Milanés called ‘Abuela Marielita’. In spite of their notorious differences, they may be used in advanced classrooms for the discussion of discrimination, gender violence and tolerance. Ideally, this presentation will encourage the audience to familiarize with the texts and try them out in their classrooms to arouse cultural awareness.

Maceri, María Ximena (APIBA)

P23 • Swap with Swing

This project has allowed students and teachers not only to enjoy the language but also get to know about several aspects of culture from different English speaking communities. The engaging atmosphere created by the enchanted presentations of the group of teachers has raised students´ motivation to the extreme that they would not miss any of the ‘Swapping Days’ lessons: a new experience to teach and learn by doing the ‘unexpected’.

Segura, Mónica (APIZALS)

P24 • True / False Activities in the Spotlight

The utilization of textbooks seems to be a common pattern in most EFL classrooms. Experts from different fields make contributions to the creation of these valuable tools. Not only do they determine content, but they also propose different types of comprehension activities cover it. Although these resources prove to be time-saving, some of them tend to be so prescriptive that the role of the teacher can be reduced to that of an executor. Where is the educators’ identity during this impersonal process where so many decisions have been made already? One way to make your presence felt is to develop a set of scientific criteria to understand the design of these tools. The aim of this paper is to analyze a True / False reading comprehension activity so as to determine the way in which its design facilitates comprehension.

P25 • Computer and Internet Mediated Narrative Construction in EFL

The old and the new can be brought together in educational settings to create a collaborative learning project by integrating narrative (case development, Litwin et al, 2004) and technology. Narrative is the basis of human knowledge, and probably the oldest genre. Case development was the spine and the excuse that fostered activities that involved the use of computer and internet mediated resources in order to develop the language syllabus.

P32 • Border Pedagogy: Towards Re-routing Roots in Intercultural Education

The constitution of transnational identities in Englishes springing from interconnected ‘travelling cultures’ characterises the experience of multicultural communities whose roots hybridise in every new route. English language represents cultures which are always ‘in the making’ and in a constant process of ‘becoming’ through intercultural mediation. Border pedagogy offers the opportunity for students of English to delve into the multiple references that constitute different cultural codes and works actively on critical cultural awareness and intercultural interpretation.

P37 • Female Disempowerment in the Discourse of Advertising

The discourse of advertising pervades contemporary Western societies and has an impact on the contruction of people’s self-worth and self-definition. Although advertising seems to show women as independent and self-sufficient individuals at present, a deeper analysis reveals how they are actually objectified and disempowered through the perpetuation of outmoded forms of representation of gender roles.

Ferreyra Fernández, Daniel

P38 • Cultural Awareness and Language Enhancement through Social Networks

The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the use of social networks in the English classroom as tools to develop and improve language skills and to raise students´ awareness of cultural differences.

P45 • Digital Identity and Teacher’s Role in the 21st Century Classroom

While the digital identity of our students and their technology related behaviour tells as much about themselves and the way they learn, we seem to ignore this valuable information to create good practices.

Network society calls for a new role for EFL teachers – that of designers of ecosystems of learning, where the English class is everywhere and at any time, rather to have technology in the classroom.

Concurrent Sessions – Workshops W1 • On Becoming Interculturally Competent in English

As English is used internationally to communicate across cultures, English as a foreign language (EFL) classes must take responsibility to build students? intercultural communication skills in order to prepare them to be effective speakers of English in global contexts. An important first step is to build a ‘sphere of interculturality’ (Kramsch, 1993) in the EFL classroom that promotes a healthy process of learning about cultural difference through reflection of one?s own culture.

Kang, Joan (with the support of National Geographic Learning)

W2 • School Leadership for Success

W6 • Breaking the Vicious Circle? How Circle Work can Calm and Cure the Modern Child

The humanistic quality of circle work connects language and identities in a harmony of music, words and rhythms. For the young learner it represents unity, safety and a safe place for self-expression, offering pleasurable moments away from desks and books where language can be ‘felt’ rather than ‘thought’. As we provide children with a sense of security we are also building up self-esteem and self-expression, important qualities for the 21st century classroom.

W9 • Using New Technologies to Teach Language, Literature and History

Tired of old Power Points in class? Tired of carrying the CD player all over the school? Tired of heavy bags full of thick books? Let your students use their mobiles or laptops! This workshop intends to foster the use of internet apps in classes addressed to secondary students both in state and private schools. On the one hand, we will use sections of a free digital interactive novel and some apps in response to an English Language syllabus based on the state curricula. On the other hand, we will enjoy apps and tools to put into practice in their History and Literature class in which students are trained to sit for IGCSE or IB. We will also find solutions to sort out obstacles that may arise when working with varied technologies. It’s recommended to attend with mobiles or laptops preferably with internet connection but it is not a must.

W10 • Informal Writing in the 21st Century: Too Strange 4U?

When teaching informal writing at upper-intermediate level, we usually focus on grammatical and lexical accuracy, but tend to overlook the actual informality that this kind of writing entails. We will explore practical alternatives to introduce real informal language in the classroom and then apply it with the help of technological resources, such as texting, social networks and other useful tools.

Fusco, Vanesa & Córdoba, María Inés

W11 • Identity and Engagement in Language Teacher Education

This session looks at a range of approaches to language teacher education in the 21st century, from face-to-face courses through blended learning to fully online courses and asks how the roles of course tutor and course participant in the different models affect identity, and the shape and content of the course. There will be direct reference to a new, online, tutor-guided language teacher education project and its development process.

Kiddle, Thom (with the support of NILE)

W12 • Images, Language and Culture

The exploration of culture involves immersion in language and images. Images are everywhere - from websites to graffiti sprayed on city walls. This workshop demonstrates ways of using images and language in the intercultural classroom to develop ‘visual literacy’ and to promote acquisition. Language teachers have long used images to bring the outside world into the classroom, and to practise new language; this workshop suggests systematic ways of ‘reading images’ to explore familiar and unfamiliar cultures.

Corbett, John (with the support of Cambridge University Press)

W13 • Improving Writing through the Use of Visual Arts: The Blending of Two Creative Processes towards the Enhancement of Written Productions This workshop will focus on encouraging students to overcome the typical problems they face when writing by using the powerful resource of the visual arts as an effective tool to boost creativity and self-confidence.

Concurrent Sessions – Workshops W15 • Practical pronunciation

Pronunciation teaching has taken a one-size-fits all approach, based on ‘standard’ Received Pronunciation textbooks for too long. Dialect coach Helen Ashton will question the position of RP, and argue that the goals of pronunciation teaching ought to be considered on a case by case basis, and tailored to meet students’ needs. Drawing on her training as a voice coach, Helen will demonstrate that speech is a physical act – speech sounds are formed by muscles of the mouth and breathing system. These muscles develop habits, which enable us to easily, habitually speak with our own accents. In order to pronounce English speech sounds differently, these muscles need to be trained to move differently. Helen will introduce you to techniques that enable this, as well as presenting a hierarchy of goals for a systematic approach to pronunciation teaching.

In this seminar she will highlight the deal-breakers, quick fixes and basic anatomy that EFL teachers need to know to help develop students’ clarity and fluency, rather than training them to speak verbatim RP. Ashton, Helen (with the support of the British Council)

W17 • L1 and L2 in EFL Lexical Development: Happy Marriage, Marriage of Convenience or Divorce?

Research has shown that the L1 constitutes a point of reference and that it plays a scaffolding role in the construction of the L2. Although the L1 can be used as a resource to make vocabulary learning more efficient, EFL coursebooks seem to assign it a marginal role. In our presentation we analyze the involvement of the L1 in vocabulary learning in elementary EFL coursebooks, propose new roles for the L1 and show sample activities.

Greco, Rosana

W19 • The Mindful, Soulful and Joyful Teacher

In order to appreciate and profit from the diversity our classrooms provide us with, we teachers need to be present in our minds, bodies and souls. Apart from the knowledge of the subject we teach, we need to develop qualities of heart and mind and observation and communication skills that are not simply a question of good will. They also require some training, reflection, and awareness.

Szmuch, Laura

W27 • Back to Basics: Giving Feedback to Avoid Cultural Misunderstandings in Conversation

Fluency based approaches like TBL or Dogme ELT emphasize the importance of learners’ production.

Teachers always get learners to talk but are our students improving? Are they aware of the mistakes they systematically make? This workshop aims to provide teachers with tools to help students become aware of their own spoken production and the areas that cause misunderstandings and the importance of giving feedback and successful post-task stages to reformulate areas to work on.

González Brandi, Natalia

Concurrent Sessions – Workshops W28 • Opening Doors to Writing

Writing is often perceived as a daunting task by some of our learners who are sometimes reluctant to engage in writing tasks and also feel frustrated. However, if we open the right doors by taking into account their needs and preferences, students will become more involved and will succeed in producing more meaningful texts. The aim of this workshop is to provide a wide range of strategies that can help us reach this goal.

Bain, Vanessa (APIBA)

W29 • Gender-Friendly Strategies to Enhance Learning

There are substantial cognitive gender differences that can make a considerable impact on how boys and girls approach learning. At the same time, we are aware that society determines what boys and girls can do, which can give them confidence to persevere or convince them they should not even try. This workshop will provide insight into those differences, and introduce strategies and tools for teachers to make their classrooms more welcoming to boys and girls.

Martino, María Gabriela

W30 • A Connected Educator in Progress: Building Cultural Bridges Between People

by Opening Yourself and Your Classrooms to an Ever-shrinking Networked World For all of us, teachers of English, English means many things. In this workshop I intend to put forward how this meaning shifted for me as I gradually incorporated webtools to my teaching practice and started interacting with other likeminded teachers over the internet. By reflecting on this process I hope to encourage other teachers to take the leap of faith into the 3.0 web pool.

Colussa, María del Carmen

W31 • Developing Spheres of Interculturality through Performative Activity

SLA can better be regarded as performative activity than as naturalized acts of speech production by extending the natural activity of childhood play into the language classroom. In this way, SLA is made more palatable and productive. A little theory and lots of practical experience will show participants how knowledge is embodied in creative processes and rooted in a world of lived sensorial experiences.

Hillyard, Susan

W32 • Games in the Bilingual Class

We will explore how children learn through play and how physical, social, intellectual, emotional and language development are enhanced by using games in class.

The aim is to promote our students’ exploration of their and others’ identities: classroom oral interaction to maximize learning opportunities, using literary and non-literary texts to reflect on their cultural perspectives, values clarification activities, and using concrete lessons whose purpose is the exploration of diverse cultural manifestations. By strengthening learners’ sense of identity, we’ll be fulfilling a higher purpose: to give students a voice, and prioritize the affective domain of their experience in English.

Concurrent Sessions – Workshops W42 • Technology Enhances Teaching Provided You Know How to Use it!

Universal fact: None of us like spending long hours creating materials for our classes. We are constantly struggling to optimize our time. We will show you how to make the best out of the most useful and trendiest web tools out there. You will not just get a bird’s-eye view of a couple of websites - you will get the full tour.

Córdoba, María Inés & Fusco, Vanesa

W43 • Making TBL Visible

Suggesting an exploration of competencies for 21st century learning, the workshop illustrates the importance of visual literacy, defined as the ability to interpret images as well as to generate images for communicating ideas and concepts through a teaching proposal that promotes the development of learners’ visual skill.

Task-based learning (TBL) which concentrates on carrying out tasks is redefined when highlighted by the insertion short films in its different stages.

García, Aurelia (APPI) & Frank, Carolina (APPI)

W44 • Digital Literacy

After attending this workshop attendees will be ready to implement a new paradigm that integrates four literacy groups across the curricula. We will discuss the integration of hypertexts in our English classroom and the importance of helping learners develop their creative and innovative abilities. A variety of ways in which technology can be used for learning in the classroom will be demonstrated using language literacy, connection literacy, information literacy and remix literacy.

Verschoor, Jennifer (APIBA)

W45 • Initial Stages in a Narrative View on Planning a Unit of Work

Inspired in Bruner´s narrativity, we will seek to conceive the plan for a unit as a story to be told. We will attempt to show an alternative path to planning from a narrative view, based on Burke´s pentad for the analysis of dramatism. Planning may pose a challenge for trainers, coordinators and teachers trained before the Post-method Era. We will reflect on usefulness of this innovative approach for the 21st century classroom.

W46 • “Who We Are” – Empowering Teachers and Learners to Explore their Identities What’s in store for teachers who decide to help their learners explore their sense of identity and belonging?

Is this just another “ordinary lesson”? Or may the process bring about a renewed sense of identity not only for the students but also for the teachers themselves? Let’s learn from the experience of several English teachers who took the plunge and got their high school classes registered for an international collaborative project to explore multiculturalism!

Concurrent Sessions – Good Practice Stories Good Practice Stories: Teens

Coordinator: Rettaroli, Silvia (APIBA)

GPS1 • Recreational Reading in the Secondary School Classroom: Accounts of a Promising Project

The Good Practice Story that I intend to share with the audience involves a reading for pleasure project I carried out in a secondary school. Students were encouraged to select their own books and were guided through the process of acquiring the habit of pleasure reading. This experience has shed positive light on motivation, autonomy and identity. It would seem to lend support to the idea that recreational reading contributes to the development of bilingualism.

Aza, Laura (APIBA)

GPS2 • Empathic Writing in Literature: A Path towards Interculturality and Bilingualism

In the 1980’s, scientists believed that our brain structure mostly developed during childhood. Nowadays, research has proved the opposite: our brains act and react in constantly-changing ways all through our lives.

This revolutionary conception of our minds as ever-changing, known as neuroplasticity, has affected the way in which we conceive language acquisition and the path towards bilingualism. Literature offers itself as a bridge between the language and our students’ ability to learn through empathy.

Gambarrutta, Ivana (APIBA)

GPS3 • Two Languages, Insects and a Remote Microscope: How Do They Match?

The presenter would like to share how the remote use of a microscope by means of netbooks in a biology class can mean learning how to formulate questions and read in real time. This class was carried out at a secondary agrarian school in combination with the University of Illinois. Two teachers worked on the project and the outcome was successful.

Benson, Silvia

Good Practice Stories: Young Learners

Coordinator: Rettaroli, Silvia (APIBA)

GPS4 • Teaching English in Kindergarten: Challenging my Knowledge, Reinforcing my Beliefs Teaching English in kindergarten is a challenge. Most teachers do not have the proper instruction to do it.

Along the Good Practice Story I will attempt to show how I discovered the effective practices that work at kindergarten. Most of the resources that resulted effective were those which I enjoyed as a child. But of course, this is not enough: we also need love which everyone can understand in any language.

Pérez Peña, Lucía (APIBA)

GPS5 • Showing and Watching Reading

Advocates of Whole Language Education emphasize the idea that learners and learning are not passive, but active. Learning can be more effective when learners work with whole natural language and not pieces of it. Learning is meaningful and more memorable when students become involved and responsible for their actions. Within this framework, reading is fundamental because through it, skills can be taught in context.

Language is used to show and share what they have learned.

Dagnino, Cecilia Isabel (APIBA)

GPS6 • Olympics in the Classroom

The students learnt about different sports, countries and things related to the Olympic Games using EFL as a means to learn about a specific content. They could also practise and improve their skills since this same project integrated the four skills.

Lopardo, Silvana (APIBA)

GPS7 • Kamishibai: Relato y Reflexión sobre un Proyecto de Literatura Japonesa en Inglés con Alumnos de Temprana Edad

La presente exposición narra un proyecto de aula centrado en el Kamishibai (Arte de narración tradicional en Japón). El expositor explicará en qué consiste el KAMISHIBAI, seguido de una breve descripción del presente proyecto con alumnos de inglés de temprana edad. Finalmente invitará a los participantes a reflexionar sobre la importancia de darles a nuestros alumnos la oportunidad de encontrarse con otra cultura a través de la literatura.

Ansaldo, Matías (APIBA) 61

Concurrent Sessions – Discussion Groups DG1 • Remixing, recontextualizing and going multimodal. New horizons for the literary?

The ongoing development of ICTs and their use to produce literature (by either recontextualizing or remixing classical printed texts or by producing new ones) are the central concerns of this discussion group.

The presenters will challenge the long standing hegemony of the book and the written text and will argue that as current generations of students are entering the classroom having had years of “screen time” it is absolutely necessary to reconsider traditional teaching practices.

Amez, Mariel (APrIR); Ferradas, Claudia (APIBA) & Hasbani, Yael (APIBA)

DG2 - L1, L2, LX + C1, C2, CX • Posibilidades de Interacción en la Enseñanza de Lenguas-Culturas Extranjeras

En esta presentación abordamos tres temas relacionados con la interacción entre las lenguas y culturas propia(s) y extranjera(s): el rol de la lengua materna (L1) vinculado a la identidad de los estudiantes; el rol de la L1 en particular en la adquisición del vocabulario de otras lenguas; y partiendo de allí, conceptualizaciones actuales sobre la educación en lengua extranjera que incluyen la noción de educación ciudadana intercultural.

Villanueva de Debat, Elba (ACPI); López Barrios, Mario (ACPI) & Porto, Melina (APIBA)

DG3 • The ELT Crystal Ball: A Glimpse into the Future of Language Teaching and an Example of Where It’s Already Happening

How will ELT change over the next few decades? Books will be replaced by digital materials. Teaching will be offshored, just like banking has been, to Asia and Eastern Europe where the quality is high but costs are lower. Teachers will be facilitators rather than a source of knowledge and information. Content will be held on learning management systems where students and teachers can upload materials and take online tests.

Teaching may even be done by robots or avatars. Much of this is already taking place in Uruguay where the Plan Ceibal project is promoting the wider use and learning of English in primary schools. The challenge now is to expand what is working well on a small scale to cover the entire country.

DP1 (Room B) • ¿Están los Profesores de Inglés Preparados para Diseñar Materiales para Entornos Virtuales de Aprendizaje?

Presentamos una experiencia en la que convocamos a profesores de idioma inglés para el diseño de materiales para el entorno virtual. A pesar de la intensa capacitación específica que realizaron los profesores para llevar a cabo la tarea, a lo largo del proceso de diseño surgieron problemas que requirieron distintos tipos de intervenciones para su solución. Compartimos los desafíos y las estrategias para superarlos.

Trabaldo, Susana

DP2 (Room E) • Break the Cage – Teaching Quest

This poster presentation aims to unfold a one year creative process in which a quest to liberate a wire woman inside a cage proved to be a very effective teaching strategy. Participants will be able to watch the process step by step, following Kolb’s ‘cycle of learning’, in which, concrete experiences’ lead to ‘observations and reflections’ that are assimilated into ‘abstract concepts’ which can be ‘actively tested’ creating new experiences and activating deep learning.

Molla, María Fernanda

DP3 (Room F) • Matching Needs and Materials: A Case of English in ‘Grado de Nivelación’ C.A.B.A.

The poster describes the match made between students’ literacy and cognitive needs in the first year of a ‘grado de nivelación’ in the city of Buenos Aires. Designing the materials for groups with specific needs is a challenge EFL teachers must be able to meet. In this spirit, we will try to share a case where this challenge was faced and solved to a certain extent.
