How can CLIL help primary
learners think and learn in English
.png){kind=logo}
This talk focuses on pedagogy involved in primary school bilingual and CLIL contexts. It focuses on ways that support learners to think and learn about subject topics. It also addresses cross-curricular learning and development of pluriliteracies.
Examples are taken from CLIL pages and videos for Super Minds Second Edition. These include 'Big Questions' for developing critical and creative thinking about subject concepts, support strategies to help learners understand and communicate their ideas, and how explicit language-learning can be embedded in the presentation of subject content.

Teaching Young Learners
Teaching Young learners has continuously challenged many teachers. Many teachers struggle at keeping kids engaged, making them connect and learn while having fun. If you are willing to understand more about keeping kids enthralled, join this course, and learn some tools and activities that will boost your lessons.
Day 2: We'll discuss young learners' lesson plans: how to structure them, time management, best techniques and strategies are some of the topics that will be covered.
Tutor: Letícia Moraes
Exploring language in three dimensions
When we delve into learning and teaching English, we notice that language is something complex. This, however, doesn't mean that our relationship with language has to be complicated or difficult. Something that can help us teachers deal with language in the classroom is look at it from different perspectives. This course aims at exploring how teachers can look at language from three different yet related perspectives.
Day 2: We'll explore the concept of language for learning and how it can enable learners to practice and produce language in their interactions in the classroom.

3-day courses
Courses will run throughout the conference and you can choose one of the topics to follow for the three days
Tutor: Isabela Villas Boas
Are you ready for an assessment reform?
This course is not about how to create tests or mark papers. Nor is it about the cornerstones of testing or standardized assessment.
It is for teachers and instructional leaders who want to change their classroom assessment practices, with a view to reaching every student and guaranteeing equity, without losing sight of the necessary rigor.
Day 2: Project-based and portfolio assessment
Tutor: Paulo Dantas
Digital Literacy: What, When, Why
Every Sunday, the New York Times print edition features more information than the average person would have access to during a lifetime before the printing press was invented. Now, our news feed is updated several times a second and we are constantly bombarded with information wherever we look. Even bus stops and elevators may feature screens broadcasting the latest breaking news. How can we help our students navigate this sea of information and make relevant and appropriate choices? How do we help our learners become more critical thinkers and assess the validity and accuracy of information in a world of post-truth?
On the second day, we'll understand the concept of post truth: how we can help our learners question information and (re)shape their own thinking.
Tutor: Marianna Rodrigues
Marketing from theory to the classroom: improving your students' experience
At some point in history, the word marketing began to generate repulsion and, with the advancement of digital life, the term became popular. "If there's marketing in the middle, there's lies and deception." A large part of the public has already thought this way, believing that they would be harmed when responding to marketing strategies.
If you go to Google right now and type in "marketing" you will get over 6 billion results! That's because, with the advent of social networks, the word marketing has never been so high.
This course is not an attempt to make you like marketing, but to show you that you already use more marketing than you think and, mastering some strategies and making some adjustments, your students' experience in your classes can improve a lot.
Marketing, when done ethically, improves lives, creates community, engages people and spreads knowledge. Does this journey remind you of anything? Teacher has been marketing since the first day of class and doesn't even know it.
With a little intentionality and strategies, educators have the potential to turn classes into real experiences.
In this course, you will see:
1.What is marketing, digital marketing and content marketing;
2.I want to be a brand - Branding and primitive branding;
3.Design is not just about making art - design thinking and the customer journey;
4.Creating experiences.
And while marketing isn't just about sales, let me tell you one thing: everyone sells all the time… You just haven't figured it out yet.
I look forward to seeing you in our classes!

Beyond the Classroom: New Pathways for the ELT Professional
Traditionally, EFL teachers have had educational opportunities at institutions like universities, regular schools, language centers and private classes. However, in today's technologically advanced environment, there are new and exciting avenues to pursue. In this presentation, I will talk about some of my experiences working in big companies that require the work of linguists as well as my career as a YouTube creator, online course designer and entrepreneur. These unconventional pathways are definitely not the only way an educator can succeed in their career nowadays, but they do represent an increasingly popular field of work.
