SPLASH!

10.30 am -  2.00 pm

Young Learners

Splash is a story about three friends who live in the ocean: Chloe the fish, Sarah the seahorse and Oliver the octopus. Every day they go swimming, searching for adventures and cleaning up the rubbish that people dump into the sea. There is one thing they are really cautious about: sharks. As everybody knows, sharks eat fish. What will happen when they meet Harry the shark? Will they be able to persuade him into eating something different? Will he help them to clean up the ocean? Let’s dive in and find out what happens!

CRAZY JEKYLL & HYDE

8.45 am – 4.00 pm

Pre-intermediate to Intermediate Students

Some scientists are doing research under the surveillance of a very demanding General Director who insists on having immediate results. Dr. Jekyll has been working hard on a Dual Personality formula that will enable a person to become someone completely different. Even though the experiment is almost finished, the results are not exactly what he has expected. Dr. Smith, the other scientist under surveillance, will attempt to steal Dr. Jekyll’s formula and pretend it’s hers.This story describes a society where everyone pretends to be someone else for fear of not being accepted, or loved. Will they be able to defend who they really are and face the consequences? Let’s enjoy a hilarious comedy about the importance of being oneself.

SHAKESPEARE IN TROUBLE

18.00 pm

Upper Intermediate to Advanced Students

A group of friends meet for drama class and an unexpected series of stories unfold. Love, hate, ambition, loyalty and death will be some of the topics they will develop. Little by little, Shakespeare’s plays will be brought to life by these students, who  will gain a deeper and lasting understanding of the characters’ feelings, some of which are surprisingly not so far away from their own. Shakespeare’s works will hereby become the trigger to reflect upon these topics.  Interwoven with some of the most famous Shakespearean texts, this modern story aims at awakening the students’ comprehension of their own attitudes and feelings as well as of those around them.

Booking in advance is a must!

“Singing Between the Lines: Developing Listening Comprehension Strategies through Songs”

By MARIANO QUINTERNO

- 2pm to 3.30pm:

“The Effect of BEER on TEACHING: Something is Brewing in the English Class”

By GUSTAVO GONZÁLEZ

Abstracts:

- “Accelerated Learning” (Gustavo Paz):

Accelerated Learning as a systematic approach to teaching deals with students as whole persons. It includes specific core elements that, when used together, empower students to learn faster, more effectively and joyfully. To get the most from Accelerated Learning you need to know how and when to use each element and understand the theory behind it. An effective Accelerated Learning class includes new findings in multiple intelligences, learning styles, neurosciences and cognitive psychology.

- “Singing Between the Lines: Developing Listening Comprehension Strategies through Songs” (Mariano Quinterno):

Even though listening comprehension is very often practised in most EFL classrooms, students still complain that they have difficulty understanding what they hear. A possible explanation is that learners lack the necessary strategies to reconstruct the meaning of an oral text. In view of this, songs provide us with engaging material to help our students become better listeners. The aim of this presentation is to discuss how language educators can help learners develop strategies for different phases of comprehension through the use of well-known songs. The participants will be provided with examples of tasks which allow students to have access to “veiled” meanings in listening texts. Only in this way will learners be able to “sing between the lines.”

- The Effect of BEER on TEACHING: Something is Brewing in the English Class” (Gustavo Gonzalez):

I believe that we, teachers, should always surprise our students with creative ideas that, turned into meaningful activities, will help them learn the language they want to learn at the time they need to use it. Activating prior knowledge is essential to meet the relevance and meaningfulness they are looking for when learning English. So, many are the tasks we have as teachers to cater for our students’ needs, and I would like to share some ideas about engaging students, brainstorming, helping them make connections, using the surprise factor to make them react and find the need to voice their feelings, grading authentic material for all levels of English and some more tips that will enhance our teaching practices and their learning experience. Here’s to you, to our students and to teaching!!! Cheers!!!
