This document discusses education for deaf learners in South Africa. It addresses the importance of inclusive education and acquiring sign language as a first language. It also discusses using sign language as the primary medium of communication in schools for deaf learners. The document then provides examples of two schools - ST Vincent's and MC Kharbai. Both schools use South African sign language as the main way teachers and students communicate. While supports and resources differ between the schools, sign language plays a central role in deaf education.
The document summarizes Shona Whyte's presentation on bridging gaps between didactique des langues (DDL) and second language acquisition (SLA) research through 12 key terms. It discusses how the terms have been defined in key texts from 1967 to the present across French and English sources. Some conclusions are that while there are few differences in how terms are defined, French sources favor learning in Krashen's sense, the term "foreign language," and inclusion of grammar and culture in teaching. English SLA sources maintain a learner perspective. The purpose is to facilitate communication between those concerned with understanding second language learning in instructional contexts.

Seven decades of language, plain and fancy. Communication has split into hundreds of languages, devices, regulations, channels and modes. But plain language principles hold it all together.
The document discusses the role of technology, teachers, and students in assisted language learning or CALL (computer-assisted language learning). It provides definitions of CALL and discusses how teachers can optimally use tools and applications to engage students. Students must actively use technology to access resources, while technology is a powerful tool when used properly as it provides multiple learning resources for students. The document also lists recommended websites for English language learning and sources used.
The document discusses the history and evolution of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) from the 1950s to present. It describes four main phases: (1) behavioristic CALL from the 1950s-1980s based on behaviorist learning theories, (2) communicative CALL from the 1970s-1980s focused on communication over grammar, (3) integrative CALL from the 1990s using multimedia and the internet to integrate skills, and (4) interactive CALL from the 1990s using computer-mediated communication like email and online discussions. The document concludes that CALL can serve various uses like tutoring with drills, stimulating discussion and interaction, and as a tool for writing and research.

Telecollaboration environments provide language learners with rich opportunities for natural and authenticated communication. Web 2.0 tools from blogs to videoconferencing to 3D virtual worlds are used to form new social environments for collaborative creation, sharing and exchange. Real-life communication has thus expanded into virtual space with unprecedented possibilities for natural and incidental language learning outside and beyond the traditional classroom. Against this backdrop, my presentation touches on the following topics:
- Reaching out beyond the traditional classroom
- Success in lingua franca communication
- Speaker satisfaction and communicative success
- Pedagogical implications
- TILA: Telecollaboration for Intercultural Language Acquisition
- TILA sessions in OpenSim and BigBlueButton
- Case study: ELF conversations 2.0
- User experience: pupils and teacher students
- Initial conclusions
Kohn 2018_ELF - From research to pedagogy_RELC Conf 12-14 March 2018Kurt Kohn
油
The evolution of research on English as a lingua franca (ELF) is characterized by three major paradigm shifts from variety to communicative use to translanguaging practice. These shifts are accompanied by pedagogical suggestions for ELT, which all have in common that they are generally met with suspicion and resistance from ELT professionals (e.g. Do you want me to teach incorrect English?). In my talk I will address this conflict between ELT and ELF with the aim of reconciliation. From the perspective of a social constructivist understanding of language learning and communication, special attention will be given to a reconceptualization of Communicative Language Teaching focusing on three issues: a creatively open pedagogical orientation towards Standard (Native Speaker) English, speaker satisfaction as an endonormative criterion of communicative success, and implementation of English (or any other target language) as a pedagogical lingua franca. Results from pedagogical research projects in the European secondary school context will be used to discuss the pedagogical potential of telecollaboration for involving learners of English in authentic intercultural communication and thereby helping them to develop an emancipated non-native speaker identity and thus to become speakers of English.

The presenters elaborated on the effectiveness of teaching with thematic units, and of making connections with other disciplines such as art, science, social studies, and physical education. Two real-world examples Chinese ceramic art and silk-making were presented; one is for K-8 while the other is at the college level.
1. A personal learning environment (PLE) is a concept that allows learners greater control over their learning experience through the aggregation of single-functionality tools like blogs and Web 2.0 technologies used for working, learning, reflection, and collaboration.
2. PLEs provide support for learners to set goals, manage both content and process, and communicate with others during learning. They integrate formal and informal learning through social networks that cross institutional boundaries and connect resources through networking protocols.
3. PLEs move from a single expert voice or tool by not pre-weighing any knowledge source and allowing numerous voices and customized tools to be used for highly personalized learning.

Attendees will learn about lesser known learning pathways and strategies to reach diverse learners. The lecture will provide an interactive experience focusing on how the brain learns languages and is impacted by stress in post-traumatic situations.
Dr. Janet N. Zadina is an educational neuroscientist who conducts lively presentations for educators on learning processes in the brain. Through interactive presentations using illustrations and simulations, she provides attendees with an understandable introduction to neuroscience research and how it applies to classroom instruction and addressing student learning differences. Participants feel energized about applying new strategies in their teaching to better foster student success and reach all learners.
