Defining and evaluating personalised learning
Philip Kerr
40mins
More information
Digital
+
One of the great promises of educational technology is its potential for personalising learning. But 'personalised learning' is often undefined, little more than an advertising slogan. For its potential to be realised, we need to be very clear about what we mean by the term. This presentation will explore the different aspects of personalised learning and what research is able to tell us about the effectiveness of personalised approaches.

Best learning moments in mobile
language learning
+
More information
The idea of ‘best learning moments’ (Innovating Pedagogy, 2021), builds on the psychological concept of cognitive absorption, defined as deep immersion in an activity or task, often accompanied by feelings of enjoyment. This talk will connect the idea of best learning moments to research on mobile language learning. It will consider how teachers can create such moments or discover more about how and when they occur in class and beyond the classroom.

Corpus linguistics: what is it and how can it help with English language teaching and learning?
+
More information
Corpus linguistics is a branch of linguistic research that involves the study of large collections of spoken and written language texts, known as corpora. This session will discuss the role of corpus linguistics in language education, outline the opportunities it affords language teaching and learning, and signal the challenges we face when using corpora for English language teaching. You'll leave with useful tools that you can use to work with corpora yourself and some guidelines to help you get started with corpus linguistics.

Judit Kormos
Eyes or ears? The benefits of listening while reading for dyslexic and non-dyslexic English language learners
+
More information
One of the frequently offered types of support for dyslexic students is to allow them to listen to the text while they read. In our research, we investigated the effect of read-aloud assistance on young English learners’ comprehension scores and whether dyslexic students benefit from this assistance differently from their peers with no official identification of dyslexia. In this talk, Judit will present the results of this research project and discuss the benefits of multi-modal text presentation as well as the use of universal design principles in inclusive language teaching.

Online audiences and learner writing
+
More information
The notion of ‘audience’ plays a key role in the methodology of second language writing. It is seen as a way of ensuring that learner writing has communicative purpose. Learners now have the possibility of reaching a wider audience by means of online platforms such as social media sites, blogs and wikis. This talk will explore some of the challenges associated with learners writing for an online audience. It will suggest ways in which teachers can address these issues in the classroom so that learners can communicate with online audiences effectively.

This talk will explore uses of language corpora for English language learning in the context of English Medium of Instruction (EMI) programmes across the world. Specific uses of corpora in EMI contexts remain relatively underexplored. In this short talk, you'll learn how teachers can embed corpus consultation in disciplinary practices and how they can foster the range of soft skills that corpus consultation can promote.

What have we learned about spoken English from the British National Corpus?
+
More information
Spoken corpora are collections of transcripts of recorded spoken language. By studying them, we can gain many insights about the nature of spoken English, including how it is changing over time. Researchers around the world have had the opportunity to study the corpus and make new discoveries about spoken English. This session will explore some of the latest findings about recent change in grammar and vocabulary in spoken British English, and how these findings can inform English language teaching.

Feedback on writing, turbocharged with critical thinking
+
More information
Giving and receiving feedback is an essential contributor to the process of learning to write. Yet for teachers it can be a chore and for our students it can be a ‘downer’. In this presentation, based on an action research project, Kate Wilson will advocate a dialogic approach that draws students into thinking critically about their writing. This presentation will inspire you to undertake similar action research into your own use of feedback in the teaching of writing.

Understanding automated assessment

More information
The rapid advances in speech recognition and machine learning technologies have fostered the development of automated assessment of speaking, in which learner speech is scored by computer algorithms rather than trained examiners. This talk aims to demystify automated assessment of speaking. It will also address how an ordinary test user can evaluate the suitability of automated assessment for their proposed test uses.

What research tells us about improving learner autonomy
+
More information
Teachers have always known that successful students are usually those who have the skills and attitudes to take responsibility for their own learning. In this talk, we will look at what research into learner autonomy tells us about what it is and what we can do to develop it. While learner autonomy is especially significant when teaching teenagers and adults, the skills and mindset needed should be developed at all ages. Tune in to this talk if you want to understand better what learner autonomy really means, and how it can be developed.
