Remote Listening workshops for high-schoolers
Outreach
As part of our Fondecyt Regular project, 11 graders from Liceo Parroquial San Antonio (Viña del Mar), el Colegio Nacional (Villa Alemana ) y la Escuela Técnico Profesional de Copiapó (Copiapó) actively participated of English workshops taught by our team members Kimberley Puentes and Belén Cáceres.
These instances allowed the participating 11th graders to interact with computer-based listening materials to deepen their learning of English and to the leaders of the English Workshops to strengthen their language teaching skills in remote environments.
Handbook Including technology-enhanced listening
Free materials for busy teachers
Back in 2020, as language teachers were forced to move their teaching online, together with my research team, we launched the "Hanbook Including technology-enhanced listening in your language lessons" in May 2020. The handbook contains activities to be used in online classrooms. This handbook is primarily addressed to middle and high school language teachers, pre-service teachers, and university professors in charge of language teacher education programs. It is written in plain language to address a variety of audiences interested in integrating technology-based listening into their lessons or including listening activities/lessons into their remote teaching.
