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.

While traditional classrooms play a crucial role in language learning, the path to fluency often extends beyond these walls. This minicourse explores practical strategies for empowering and guiding adult learners towards independence, preparing them for a lifelong and self-driven commitment to mastering the English language. 

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

Do you feel the need to bring a greater sense of progress to your students applying for international exams? Therefore, the purpose of my speech is to clarify the importance of different types of assessments, reflection on learning and action plans to provide a beneficial backwash, motivation, and autonomy with a view of promoting students' sense of progress in the course.

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.

What should be the key features of a speaking activity? Helping students get the most out of speaking activities is not always an easy task. Teachers often say that students are reluctant to work on speaking activities or talk very little during these activities. This workshop proposes three key features to teach speaking. I will explain these features and we will analyse sample activities to see if they have the features. Suggestions on how to change the ones which do not have them will be given. The workshop will end with some reflection on speaking, summing up, and questions. Participants will leave with handy tips.

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!

In the pursuit of creating a positive and impactful learning environment, this workshop explores a teaching mindset centered on love. Drawing inspiration from Bell Hooks' perspective on "love as action", this workshop integrates elements of affection, respect, recognition, commitment, trust, care, and open communication into pedagogy. Practical strategies, including effective feedback, compassionate redirection of misbehavior, and fostering metacognitive skills, are presented to guide educators in implementing this love-centered approach, promoting holistic student development and collaboration in the classroom.
