16:00 – 17:00 – Facilitating Learning Success in the YL Classroom, Alex Warren
It is often said that the key to producing successful language learners is to start them young. Indeed this is the foundation of the critical period hypothesis, whereby there is a suggested optimal period for language acquisition. However, this is not the only factor that can impact on the success of our language learners. Much of that success will also depend on individual learners themselves, as well as their teachers and learning environment. In this presentation, we’ll briefly look at what else can help facilitate learning success in the young learner classroom, before focusing on the role and impact that learning to learn can have on that success.

17:20 – 18:20 – Looking Beyond the Classroom, Katherine Stannett
The English classroom can and should be so much more than simply a place where our students learn a language. It should be a launchpad; a place where we inspire, excite and motivate our students to look out beyond the classroom and learn about the connections between their lives and the world they live in. In this inspiring place, our role as teachers should be not only to teach the core language, functions and skills, but also to guide our young learners along the path to becoming global citizens.
In today’s talk, I will be sharing some ways in which we can use real lives, real places and real stories to teach language while engaging our young learners and encouraging them to find out about the world. I will suggest different ways to incorporate powerful images and amazing facts into our lessons and still cover the syllabus, transforming our classrooms into places of wonder and learning.
