Темы мероприятия:

The Power of the Image

Throughout our lives, we are the unwitting subjects of an onslaught of images. From the mobile phone in your hand to the products in your supermarket trolley; from the magazines on your coffee table to the train seat in front of you, someone somewhere is trying to convey an idea to you through messages which are primarily visual. While we have all used images to facilitate learning in our teaching – from flashcards to video – do we really know why it is so effective? This session looks at the power of images, the idea of visual literacy and how images can play an integral part in language acquisition.

Thinking Outside the Box – developing creative and innovative 21st century thinkers

Nowadays the job and role of the English language teacher has changed. It’s no longer our job to just teach grammar and vocabulary and the four traditional skills. We need to teach them about the world. We need to teach them about other people, places and cultures. We need to introduce them to new ideas, new ways of looking at things. And we need to teach them to be 21st century thinkers. But what do we mean by this? What is a 21st century thinker? Why is it important? And what does TED have to do with any of this? In this session we’ll look to answer these questions and reveal the role that using TED Talks can have it creating 21st century thinkers.
