"Engage Your Students with Real Content: An Invitation to Transform Your English Language Classroom"
Learning English is essential in 21st-century education, with two billion people learning worldwide. These learners use English to improve their opportunities in business, science, and online. As educators, we can teach English through meaningful, relevant content that resonates with their lives.
Understanding global awareness is necessary today. Real content helps us deliver the world to learners, stimulating learning and inspiring curiosity. Show students something amazing, beautiful, mysterious, strange, or unfamiliar yet real, and they will want to learn about it; and when people are curious, they learn.
We seek content that creates awe and prepares learners for the real world. Real content speaks for itself, helping us achieve our mission of bringing the world to the classroom and the classroom to life.
Join us and explore how real content can transform your English language classroom. Ignite your students' curiosity and prepare them for a world full of opportunities.
"Transformative Learning and 21st Century Skills: Fostering Real-world Connections in the Language Classroom"
In the 21st century, it is crucial for language learners to develop skills that go beyond linguistic proficiency. In this regard, the language classroom requires approaches that not only allow students to acquire a new language but also teach them how to effectively utilize it in diverse ways within a complex multicultural world.
Transformative learning focuses on authentic and contextualized learning, collaboration, personal growth, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. This approach enables learners to adapt to the ever-changing global landscape by equipping them with the ability to "learn how to learn" and apply their knowledge in different scenarios and real-life situations.
In this session, we will explore practical strategies and pedagogical approaches to integrating language learning into a transformative learning framework that will enable your learners to be well equipped citizens. Participants will gain valuable insights and practical ideas to enhance language instruction and prepare learners for success in the 21st century.
"The Forest Ruins"
Did you know that the city of São Paulo was once a great forest? And that some of its original inhabitants, the Guarani indigenous people, still live here?
The Forest Ruins project addresses the climate crisis from an indigenous perspective in one of the world's largest cities and provokes us to rethink our consumption habits and way of life.
