Welcome to the CITC 2024 F2F day! As you get ready for lots of sharing, networking and fun, please make your way to the frontdesk to get your badge and a special treat.

As educators, we recognise the challenge of engaging students in language learning while fostering their interest in other academic disciplines. By incorporating TikTok-inspired video techniques, we can tap into the digital world that captivates learners' attention. Nanolearning, with its focus on bite-sized content, provides an ideal platform for delivering educational material in an accessible and engaging manner. We will also discuss developing content that aligns with curriculum objectives, while keeping it exciting and relevant for students.

Take the time to visit our sponsors' lounge, do lots of networking and, of couse... enjoy your lunch!

In this workshop we will discuss the challenges of teaching multilevel groups and share activities and techniques that help overcome these challenges.

As you make your way to the next session, take the time to check out our sponsors' lounge and pay them a visit later today.

How about sharing your insights and queries with your colleagues in an informal, cozy way - no prep required? That's the idea of the Swap Shops, where you can speak for up to 5 minutes about something you've tried out in class, an experiment or research you're carrying out, or even a challenging student you could use some help with. Under the guidance of a mediator, you'll talk, listen, discuss and organise your ideas and insights, leaving the session with practical takeaways for quick implementation. Interested? So see you there!

Enjoy the small treat that Cultura Inglesa prepared for you with lots of love! Also, take the time to visit our sponsors' lounge, do lots of networking and, above all... have fun!

Although Assessment for Learning (AfL) is described as “informally monitoring progress” (Boyd et al, 2019), can we carry it out on the spur of the moment? Hardly! Planning how and when to collect evidence of learning is extremely important to succeed using this tool. In this workshop, we will talk about AfL, experiment with planning tools such as backward design, the four-dimensional feedback, and the use of rubrics, look at samples of portfolios, self-assessment, peer assessment, reflective diaries and (why not?) even tests. We will also look at inquiry-based learning and project-based learning and discuss why these active learning approaches work so well alongside AfL.
