ABSTRACT:Quality early childhood education stands at the foundation of the 21st century society, whose most evident sign of identity is relentless change. The place of language and culture in any educational paradigm is undoubtedly prevalent, and science concludes that the linguistic construct is at the core of the human essence. Language provides humans with the identity that differentiates us from other species on the planet, and culture is inextricably linked to it, endowing it with complex meanings and enabling the transmission of values, beliefs, attitudes and behaviours of a community.This talk will be presenting the PETaL (Play, Education, Toys and Languages) approach to bilingual early childhood education, which brings together a solid theoretical background together with a practical construct to implementation. The PETaL (Play, Education, Toys and Languages) approach is characterised by its flexibility to adapt to different cultural environments, because only in this way does it make sense, and its aim is to educate the child of this century to be able to develop in (and promote) a diverse, plural and changing society.

BIODATA:María Elena Gómez-Parra is full professor at the University of Córdoba. Her research area is bilingual and intercultural education, with special emphasis on the outcomes of bilingual education at international level, the CLIL approach (Content and Language Integrated Learning), the language gap and the concept of translanguaging in bilingual contexts. He directs the Research Group HUM-1006 'Bilingual and Intercultural Education' (EBeI), the Iberoamerican Network for Bilingual and Intercultural Education (IBIE), and the Erasmus Mundus Master Play, Education, Toys and Languages (PETaL).

ABSTRACT:Play is a child’s work and successful play for development and language acquisition is child-initiated. In this webinar I take a look at adult-led activities that support child-initiated play in English as a foreign language. Taking a close look at learning formats, I will share examples of children engaged in child-initiated play in English learning areas. I will conclude with a short list of teacher strategies to enable child-initiated play in English.

ABSTRACT:The Garden Project is a Project Based Learning (PBL) 3- level ELT course for pre-primary that adopts a hands-on approach to language learning, teaching students about sustainability as they learn English by growing their very own Garden in the Box, and document their learning through the Wonder, Observation and Investigation of nature.The Garden Project, has been adopted in 17 countries and in 2018, in collaboration with Macmillan Spain, was adapted for Spain so that learner and teacher resources would reflect Spain’s seasonality, festivities as well as flora and fauna, providing students with a truly authentic purpose for language learning within a context they could identify with.The Garden Project’s innovative approach in ELT, combining PBL within a local context, has been recognized internationally being winning the 2020 ELTons Award within the local innovation category for the 2019 Brazil Edition.This webinar gives participants practical tips on how to bring learning to life with sustainable practices whilst giving concrete examples of how The Garden Project is being taught in Spain.MORE INFO: https://www.macmillaneducation.es/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/tgp_folleto_2018.pdf
