José is a full time languages teacher at Nottingham High School, where he is Head of Modern Foreign Languages, and has acquired extensive experience of using contemporary and emerging technologies to support teaching and learning both in the classroom and beyond. In addition, José advises schools, government bodies and other organisations on the use of new and emerging technologies in the classroom to support, enhance and, ultimately, transform teaching and learning. José holds a Masters Degree in ICT and Education and is an internationally recognised educationalist.

Tom has been teaching English for over 20 years and has spent the last 15 years at the British Council in Madrid designing and teaching courses for learners of all levels. He is fascinated by the themes of motivation and group dynamics and, because of this, likes to use a more personalised methodology in the classroom. Tom enjoys finding and/or adapting authentic materials for use with students and is a big fan of technology as a useful tool for helping learners.

Sessions Salón de ESO y Bachillerato The case for social networking in education

The rising importance and availability of online social networks and their popularity among young people are undeniable facts. The use of the internet is becoming an ever more integral part of young people’s lives and, as a result, they are communicating with each other on an unprecedented scale. Pedagogy needs to reflect these social changes. 
 Social networks provide teachers and students with a platform in which they can interact beyond the constraints of the school walls, and with which the teacher can provide personalised feedback and support. This plenary session will challenge preconceptions regarding the use of social networking in education and, drawing from actual classroom experience, will explore practical ways to enhance teaching and learning through the effective use of social media.

Child’s play (3 to 7-year-olds)

In this session we will examine the challenges faced when teaching English to 3 to 7-year-olds and the special considerations which need to be taken into account by the teacher. These will be supported by a variety of fun, simple and practical classroom activities appropriate for this specific age group. Mark Ormerod

It’s not just reading practice (8 to 12-year-olds)

What can pupils do with a text? They can read it, of course. They can also think about, interpret and talk about it. They can learn from it. They can play games and have fun with it. They can change it and personalise it. They can present it as part of project or a performance. There’s so much our pupils can do with texts in class that it’s a shame to label them as just ‘reading practice’. In this session, we reconsider texts as a tool for learning, with a focus on developing the whole child.

Real conversation in the classroom (ESO & Bachillerato)

These are some ideas designed to get students using their spoken language skills in a more relaxed and creative way. We’ll be telling and listening to lots of interesting stories. Because this kind of ‘real’ conversation can be unpredictable, we’ll also be looking at how to exploit their chats for our language-learning purposes. Steven Muir Telly learning (ESO & Bachillerato) In this practical workshop we will look at a range of classroom activities inspired by clips from film, TV and YouTube. These activities focus on a variety of language areas and skills, and can be adapted to use with many other clips. Most importantly, students seem to enjoy them! Salón de Trilingüismo Jane Martin Arts and Crafts: finding inspiration in the world around us (6 to 12-year-olds) Quality Art instruction inspires creativity, imagination and innovation in young learners. The Art classroom can be a place where pupils’ self-esteem and personal expression flourish and where their language and cognitive development thrive. In this session we will focus on how to teach the art skills and techniques pupils need to grow as budding artists while systematically incorporating the use of English to support language development in a natural way. We will also explore a range of creative art projects designed to make cross-curricular connections that motivate pupils and provide opportunities to learn about the world in which they live in.

Blending science with arts & crafts (6 to 12-year-olds)

This session looks at creating links between arts & crafts. and science to enable teachers to plan their art lessons incorporating science content. Teachers will engage in practical activities whilst assessing how to practise and recycle science vocabulary through an artistic context, using new techniques and resources.
