9.30 to 11.00 am Session 1: How the brain processes information- memory, attention & learning
The brain is a complex organ whose functioning is often a mystery to teachers. Leslie Hart, a pioneer in brain-based learning noted almost 30 years ago that designing learning experiences without knowledge of the brain is like designing a glove without knowledge of the hand. Memory and Attention are two vital elements in Learning; how does the brain remember and pay attention? This workshop is designed explain how the brain processes information and what teachers can do to improve these functions in class.
11.00 to 11.30 am Coffee break
11.30 to 1.00 pm Session 2: Ten key factors that influence bilingualism
There are a myriad of factors that influence whether or not a person becomes a successful bilingual (or multilingual), and no two people combines these factors in exactly the same way. This workshop defines the ten key factors influencing successful foreign language acquisition and separates the myths from the facts in bilingual education.
13.00 to 2.15 pm Lunch
2.15 to 3.15 pm Session 3: Toolbox for better teaching in bilingual classrooms
Teachers are always on the lookout for new and improved teaching tools. However, many activities and methods successfully sold in the popular press do not stand up against the evidence. This workshop considers evidence-based practice and indicates which methods and activities can be trusted to give best results in the classroom.
3.15 a 3.30 pm Coffee break
3.30 a 4.30 pm Session 4: Toolbox for better teaching in bilingual classrooms
(Questions & Discussion)
This last open-question session will be used to clarify any concepts shared and to apply all of the shared information in the context of the ESSARP schools.
