SYMPOSIUM

Empathy, Empowerment and Enhancing: when learning and lifeskills meet Jonathan has taught since he graduated from Oxford in 1989 with a degree in English; he started performing long before then - first on stage, and later in film/TV. He trained as a teacher in International House, London and has given teacher training workshops for various educational entities, including the British Council, the King's Group and Schools, publishers, and the CDL and the CTIF Madrid. He also works as a master of ceremonies and an educational coach. He has appeared in several films and has most recently been seen in the groundbreaking series for A3/La Sexta/BBC, Refugees.

Jonathan Mellor

Jonathan es licenciado en Filología Inglesa por Oxford University. Ha compaginado su trabajo como profesor con el de actor primero en teatro y luego en cine y televisión -. Se formó como profesor en International House en Londres y ha impartido talleres de formación del profesorado para varias entidades educativas, incluyendo el British Council, el grupo de colegios King’s, algunas editoriales, y el CDL y el CTIF en Madrid. Además, trabaja como maestro de ceremonias y coach educativo. Recientemente ha participado en la serie innovadora de A3/La Sexta/BBC, Refugees.

In this plenary session, which is part coaching workshop and part half time pep-talk, we will look, both conceptually and practically, at how people themselves are often the best – and most under-exploited – of resources.: you know more than you know, and so do your students! We will explore aspects of emotional intelligence and CLIL, with take-away activities to promote, for example, student autonomy and wellbeing. When the student becomes the master – and just as importantly, vice versa – we can be the spark we hope to light in others.

Empatía, potenciación y mejora: cómo unir el aprendizaje y las destrezas de la vida En este sesión plenaria, que es tanto taller de coaching como charla motivante, vamos a ver cómo nosotros mismos podemos ser nuestro mejor recurso, tanto a nivel conceptual como práctico. Sabemos más de lo que creemos, y nuestros alumnos también. Exploraremos aspectos de inteligencia emocional y AICLE a través de actividades que fomentan la autonomía del alumno y su bienestar. Cuando el alumno llega a ser el maestro – y viceversa - podemos llegar a ser la “chispa” que “ilumine” a los demás.

Teaching Prepositions of Place through Drawing

Shawn Redwood

Colegio Nuestra Señora del Pilar c/ Castelló, 56, Madrid

Primary

Native English speakers start learning about prepositions and how to use them at a very young age. As adults, prepositions are such a common part of language that we don’t realize it is not always easy for students learning English to understand the job of prepositions. The purpose of this workshop is for language assistants to learn how to teach students what prepositions of place do and how to get students to understand them visually.

Enseñanza de preposiciones mediante los dibujos. Los nativos de habla inglesa aprenden preposiciones de pequeños. A veces no nos damos cuenta de su importancia. El propósito de este taller es ayudar a los alumnos a entender preposiciones visualmente.
