| Program Description |
This program discusses the findings of a new study that reveals what's hot and what's not in language learning in the 21st century. In the 21st century, new trends include using technology both inside and outside the classroom; adopting an individualized and learner centered approach to learning; linking language learning to leadership skills and community impact; and asset-based approaches to assessment including frameworks and benchmarks. The study, “Global Trends in Language Learning in the Twenty-First Century”, conducted by Dr. Sarah Elaine Eaton, a research associate at the Language Research Centre of the University of Calgary and a private consultant, also found that public speaking and presentation skills, even for second language students, are enjoying new levels of prestige in the Obama era. “For the first time in decades, there is a U.S. President who is wooing young people with his power to communicate verbally. This is having an impact not only in the United States, but across the globe. There is an increasing focus on the clear verbal articulation of ideas. This is being reflected in the field of languages, as there is an ever-increasing focus on articulate communication. Second language speech contests, debates, poetry readings, and story telling are particularly trendy,” Eaton explains in the report. Participants will be challenged to update their thinking, their teaching practices and their way of viewing the language teaching profession to ensure what they’re doing in the classroom is current and up to date. Learn practical classroom applications of this research that focus on how you can modernize, update and make your language teaching relevant for students of today. |
