SUMMARY:"Eye-opening": How we can use multimodal texts with school staff to support more inclusive school and classroom narratives
DESCRIPTION:“Eye-opening”: How we can use multimodal texts with school staff to support more inclusive school and classroom narratives.\n5 September 2024\,5:00pm – 6:00pm AEST\, Online\nAs EAL teachers\, or as mainstream teachers who work closely with EAL students\, we often advocate for our English language learners. We may discuss ideas with staff and leadership about what it means to be multilingual\, how the use of a home language is beneficial to support English language development and how it fosters our students’ multilingual identity. We also often suggest that EAL pedagogies are good for all learners and feel a sense of frustration that we are not really being heard. But could it be how we frame the issues that is part of the problem? Based on recent research findings\, this professional learning session will give you the opportunity to collaboratively undertake an EAL informed activity that can be taken back to your educational setting to support more holistic conversations around what it means to be a diverse language learner. Discussion questions will also be provided to accompany the task. \nApril Edwards \nApril has extensive experience working as an EAL and English teacher\, EAL Coordinator and EAL specialist mentor to English teachers. She has promoted the implementation of EAL strategies across the curriculum and for the last 6 years she has worked in Initial Teacher Education and as an EAL consultant to both the Victorian Department of Education and the Victorian and Curriculum Assessment Authority. April currently works at the Faculty of Education\, University of Melbourne\, as a Teaching Academic of English\, TESOL and literacy across the curriculum. Her research focuses on culturally and linguistically sustaining pedagogies that seek to include all learners whilst evoking new\, more pluralistic understandings of the self and others. \nCost\n$10 – VicTESOL members (including members of other state TESOL associations affiliated with ACTA)\n$30 – Non-members\nBecome a member today\, for member prices!

SUMMARY:What Grammatical Knowledge is Powerful for Specialist Language Teachers?
DESCRIPTION:What Grammatical Knowledge is Powerful for Specialist Language Teachers?\n10 September 2024. 5:30pm – 6:30pm AEST\, Online\nThis session describes the approach to grammar used in a Masters level subject for specialist language teachers. The subject focuses mainly on grammatical ‘know-how’\, skills in using a scholarly resource\, The Grammar Book. It also addresses  grammatical ‘know-that’\, disciplinary concepts that apply to all grammars and languages. It describes and justifies these ‘grammaring’ skills and ‘threshold’ concepts. But is this grammatical knowledge ‘powerful’ enough for participants’ needs?  Would it work for you? What are the alternatives? \nSpeaker\nDr Chris Corbel is a lecturer in the Master of TESOL and Master of Modern Languages Education courses in the Faculty of Education\, University of Melbourne. He has over 50 years’ experience in multiple roles in the AMEP. \nCost\n$10 – VicTESOL members (including members of other state TESOL associations affiliated with ACTA)\n$30 – Non-members\nBecome a member today\, for member prices!

SUMMARY:Metacognition and EAL Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Metacognition and EAL Teaching\n17 September 2024. 4:30pm – 5:30pm AEST\, Online\nResearch has shown that EAL students benefit the most when engaged in metacognitive thinking. This can only be possible when teachers are aware of metacognitive teaching and learning strategies. In this presentation\, we look at what we already know about metacognition and metacognitive teaching and learning strategies. We also discuss how these can be implemented in our teaching and reflection cycles. \nSpeaker\nDr Lilly Yazdanpanah is a Lecturer at La Trobe University’s School of Education. Her research is grounded in issues of equity\, cultural diversity\, and teacher cognition and identity in English language classrooms. Her work with pre-service and in-service teachers has centred on understanding best practices for teaching EAL/D students in Australia and overseas. Incorporating both national and international perspectives\, Lilly has served as a TESOL teacher educator and researcher in over five countries for more than 20 years in higher education. \nCost\n$10 – VicTESOL members (including members of other state TESOL associations affiliated with ACTA)\n$30 – Non-members\nBecome a member today\, for member prices!
