Stephen Krashen:
Developing Academic Language: Not just the easy way but the only way
Developing Academic Language: Not just the easy way but the only way
This
presentation presents a simple hypothesis: We develop academic language
by reading. Nearly all of the conventions of academic language, its
special vocabulary, grammar and discourse style are subconsciously
absorbed, or acquired, from reading texts written in the academic style
that are relevant to us.Extensive self-selected reading alone will not develop full academic language competence, but develops the background knowledge and language competence that makes academic reading comprehensible. Self-selected reading is the bridge between conversational and academic language competence.

Reflections on how to be a highly effective teacher
Reflections on how to be a highly effective teacher
In
this session we will take for granted that teachers need to be
confident in their subject knowledge and skilled in the craft of
teaching in order to achieve desired curriculum outcomes. Instead we
will aim to explore the more intangible personal capacities, attitudes
and beliefs that make for highly effective teachers who have a profound
influence and make a long-lasting difference to the lives of their
learners. We will consider the role of the teacher as educator in
fast-changing social and technological times. We will also discuss a
notion of professionalism that supports learners in leading fulfilled
and productive lives as citizens in both a local and global context.
Among the areas that we will investigate during the session will be
self- awareness, personal development, emotional intelligence and
engaging with other people. There will also be opportunities to reflect
on your own ideas about what it means for you to be a highly effective
teacher in your context.
