Plácido Bazo y Marcos Peñate (Oxford University Press)
El discurso del profesor de inglés en clase puede ayudar a la atención a la diversidad. Si la comprensión es la base del desarrollo de la lengua extranjera y el input en inglés es absolutamente necesario en clase, ¿estamos ofreciendo un discurso coherente en la clase de lengua extranjera? ¿Qué relación existe entre la comunicación, el discurso y el desarrollo del conocimiento del inglés.? Trataremos de dar una explicación comprensiva desde la Primaria hasta el Bachillerato.
Saturday (12:55-13:55)
Fernando D. Rubio Alcalá (Universidad de la Laguna)
I will show a multimedia program created at the University of Huelva and the theoretical bases for its design. Those bases include the latest studies for brain, memory and learning styles. Besides, the audience will experiment what I consider to be a new conception for new technologies: the use of the lap-top computer in the classroom and the interaction between the students and the program.
Saturday (20:10-21:30)
The FOOTBALL CRAZY show looks at the different levels of madness that make up the modern British game. A four man show with audience participation will include characters such as the blind referee, the agent, the thug, the commentator, the couch potatoes and of course the players and fans. In all FOOTBALL CRAZY is a tribute to that very British obsession with the worlds’ favourite game.
Sunday (12:30-13:30)
Mesa Redonda
Enseñanza de inglés e interestamentalidad
Dentro del sistema educativo del estado español y de sus comunidades autónomas la enseñanza del inglés se realiza de forma de forma autónoma y absolutamente descoordinada en cada no de los niveles en los que se imparte. Es por ello que la relación y coordinación entre los profesores (no sólo entre los planes de estudio y los programas) debe ser indispensable, sobre todo puesto que las directrices europeas que se avecinan en materia de enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras así lo van a exigir. En esta mesa redonda abordaremos la problemática de la enseñanza del inglés contando con la perspectiva de cada uno de los niveles y con la idea común de que se trata una empresa global que nos incumbe a todos los profesores, independientemente del tipo de enseñanza que realicemos.
Friday (18:40-19:40)
Intended audience: Active teachers from public schools
Qué son y qué ofertan los Programas Europeos Sócrates. Descripción de las acciones más interesantes para el profesorado en activo. Acciones 1 y 2.

José Luis Belderrain (Cambridge University Press)
Intended audience: Primary
This talk will address the criteria to evaluate educational software by reviewing existing online and CD-ROM ELT materials. In this presentation we will go over how these resources adapt to the ELT official curriculum. We will also look at how they can be best exploited and integrated with everyday classroom activities, using our schools’ limited facilities. We’ll analyse the flaws and advantages of computer-based materials already available and their successor: the online textbook.
Eulalio Fernández Sánchez (Universidad de Córdoba)
Intended audience: Bachillerato and ESO
The goal of this presentation is to approach video watching activities in English classrooms taking into account the principles of a cognitive methodology. We will intend to present a number of assumptions that can help the English teacher to plan video watching sessions. Special attention will be devoted to the usage or non-usage of subtitles. The cognitive approach to this particular topic is based on the consideration of the interrelationship of two basic factors in second language acquisition processes, that is, interlanguage and the role of input. Evidence and examples will be provided so that teachers can make up their mind so as to use subtitles (either in Spanish or in English) or not use subtitles at all when planning a video watching session. It will be put forward that the teacher’s choice should be the result of assessing students’ interlingual development (elementary, intermediate, advanced) together with students’ capacity to transform input into intake.
Friday (20:00-21:00)
Antonio Roldán Tapia (IES Alhaken II / Universidad de Córdoba)
Intended audience: Bachillerato and ESO
The presentation will aim to define the necessary steps to carry out research on teaching materials. Textbooks will be the focus of the session. We will consider issues such as research parameters, data collection tools and procedures as well as findings. Attention will be paid to checklists and to the criteria for their design and use. Time will be allowed for the application of a checklist. The presentation will end up with some minutes for discussion. The session would be of interest, mostly, to those people who don’t have much experience on research.
George Kokolas (Express Publishing)
Intended audience: Bachillerato and ESO
Dr. Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory is increasingly being applied in the field of foreign language learning in an attempt to develop parallel coping strategies across the whole spectrum of language skill areas. This talk will discuss the specific application of MI Theory to current EFL practice and its resultant implications in understanding second language acquisition.
Pilar Montijano (Universidad de Málaga)
Intended audience: Bachillerato, Language School and University
Speaking still seems to be a very complex skill to deal with for many in-service EFL teachers nowadays, maybe due to its somehow elusive nature and also to the main constraints of teaching in our area (number of students per class, lack of oral assessment, total amount of time allotted to FL learning in the curriculum, etc.). This could lead many teachers to neglect speaking in their lessons. We’ll give some ideas to enrich textbook speaking materials and also to design new ones to tune into our students’ current level of interests, need and interlanguage.
Saturday (09:00-10:00)
Saturday (10:00-11:00)
Carmen Medina (Escuela Oficial de Idiomas de Córdoba)
Intended audience: Bachillerato, ESO and University
This workshop will deal with the theory and practise behind culture studies in the EFL classroom. We will start with a questionnaire, then have a look at various definitions of culture and, finally, offer a proposal of how to deal with this ‘skill’ in the EFL classroom.
Enda F. Scott (TESOL-Spain)
Intended audience: Bachillerato and Language School
This talk will take a look at various email writing exchanges I have been involved in connecting students here in Spain with others around the world. From highly to mildly successful, from ten to seventeen year olds, from high-tech to low-tech, from small groups to larger groups, the different experiences will be analysed in terms of what email exchanges can provide and how best they can be exploited. From the experiences illustrated a series of practical recommendations will be outlined.
Nina Lauder (Richmond Publishing)
Intended audience: Primary, Language School and University
In this session we will look at common classroom complaints and share ideas on how to manage our classes better. We will look at a number of reward techniques and talk about the importance of positive reinforcement in class.
Saturday (11:45-12:45)
Carol Read (MacMillan-Heinemann)
Intended audience: Primary
This session explores the ingredients for making the introduction of English to very young children an enjoyable, successful and worthwhile experience. The main focus will be on ideas for establishing an effective and manageable teaching framework which stimulates children to be actively constructive in their own learning through such things as global perception, fantasy, imitation, discovery, experimentation and play. The session will be illustrated with a wide range of practical examples including stories, songs, rhymes, dances, drama and games.
George Kokolas (Express Publishing)
Intended audience: Bachillerato and ESO
The workshop will focus on the value of teaching reading and writing. Throughout this workshop a variety of effective reading and writing techniques will be highlighted, indicating how they contribute to the systematic development of learners’ reading and writing skills, based on real-life communicative situations. When teaching writing, the material needed has to be well organized from a methodological standpoint and has to have a purpose.
Rebecca Adlard (Richmond Publishing)
Intended audience: Bachillerato and ESO
How much are you taking advantage of the World of the Web in your English teaching? This practical session will focus on exploitation of the wealth of material available on the Internet, and will give you practical lesson, homework and project ideas to take away. Suitable, both, for computer wizards and technophobes!
Saturday (16:30-17:30)
Francisco Rodríguez (Richmond Publishing)
Intended audience: Bachillerato, ESO, Language School, University
Wouldn’t it be nice to teach in a language-rich classroom full of stress-free, happy students who are more than happy to offer p answers to questions posed by the coursebook and/or the teacher? In this seminar I will highlight ways of moving closer to that scenario, focussing on the restrictions posed by searching for “the” correct answer, often elusive to most students.
María Jordano (Ucoidiomas)
Intended audience: General
Nowadays, It is not difficult to find a teacher who takes material from Internet in order to exploit it at class, but what about if we try to personalize that material, or even create something completely new? It is much more easier than we think, and apart from saving us time in the future, it will help us to adapt it according to what our students need. We will learn some tips to search raw material in the net for creating Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking exercises. Once done all this, the product will be ready to share it.
Plácido Bazo y Marcos Peñate (Oxford University Press)
Intended audience: Primary
Con la nueva LOCE y la generalización del inglés al primer ciclo de primaria debemos replantear los distintos elementos que conforman el currículo de Primaria. En esta charla ofrecemos sugerencias prácticas para la enseñanza/ aprendizaje de la lengua extranjera a este nivel.
Saturday (17:40-18:40)
Claire Medwell (Burlington Books)
Intended audience: ESO, Bachillerato, Language School, University
Pronunciation and phonetics are problematic areas in today’s secondary classroom. However, if we are to help our students become autonomous, then successful training in the use of the phonetic chart is essential. In this session we will look at motivating and memorable ways of ‘teaching the chart’ and at the same time try out fun activities to develop students’ autonomy and proficiency in pronunciation.
Dafne González (Universidad Simón Bolívar - Venezuela)
Intended audience: General
Language Teachers around the world are incorporating online components to their face to face classes to offer students the opportunity to communicate with speakers of the language. To take this challenge, teachers need to be e-literate and learn to take the best from the web tools available. Webheads in Action is a virtual Community of Practice comprising language teachers worldwide, with the purpose of exploring a/synchronous and web-based multimedia communications formats, and the best way to use them for the benefit of their learners. In this presentation, we will show how this community works, with the live online participation of Webheads located in different countries via synchronous modes (text chat, voice, and webcams). Web pages product of the community collaborative work will be shown.

Javier Ávila (Escuela de Artes y Oficios Mateo Inurria)
Intended audience: General
Current research indicates that MI theory implementation has been successful in producing resource-rich environments for diverse learners. A fundamental element of some of the intelligences is the ability to use mental imagery. In the light of this research, a number of activities are proposed for the FL classroom in an attempt to integrate linguistic and the other intelligences to foster language learning.
Saturday (19:00-20:00)
Mª José Lobo (Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona)
Intended audience: Primary
Developing a teaching unit is something that most of us need doing at some stage. Presenting a project, adapting the materials we use in class, etc. are good reasons that encourage us to develop materials in general and teaching units in particular. Developing our own teaching materials has often been presented as an easy task to do. But experience tells us that developing real teaching units can be a challenging activity: on the one hand, the number of “ingredients” to put in the “recipe” is high and, on the other hand, the sequence in which those ingredients must be “added” is hard to control.
But the result is so rewarding! Really worth trying!
Laura Filardo y Elena González-Cascos (Universidad de Valladolid)
Intended audience: General
In the world of today, traditional teaching is partly replaced by new types of teaching and learning and traditional education experiences are more and more in competition with other methods and systems which offer novel, attractive ways of learning. The first objective of this paper is to analyse the methodological approach to language teaching followed by multimedia software and the second objective is to analyse the role of the teacher, who cannot be avoided and who will take into account the feelings of the students in this new kind of language teaching.
Sunday (10:00-11:00)
Nilsa Pereyra Climent (Pearson-Longman)
Intended audience: Primary
I will talk about why, how and when to encourage our students to learn and enjoy English. My proposal is to have fun while teaching, and share this with our students. I will suggest a few activities to create a positive group atmosphere in the classroom. As teachers, our most important aim should be to awaken new interests in the students, to arouse their desire to learn to express themselves in English, and as human beings the teacher´s aim is to develop good relationships, show concern and support for others. I will present activities and games focused on stimulating and encouraging students thus they learn without realizing. At the same time they will be improving their self-esteem, their abilities and we will have a quieter class!
Julie Dawes (Cambridge University Press)
Intended audience: Bachillerato, Language School, University
Weaving a web is a workshop showing how to bring the internet into the classroom in a way that is both fun and informative. It gives teachers lots of ideas and sites for projects that they can do both on-line and off-line. The workshop is filled with fun as computers can sometimes be a little daunting for those non users amongst us.
Sunday (11:10-12:10)
José Luis Seijas (Universidad de La Laguna)
Intended audience: General
Many teachers have showed me interesting ideas and activities. Now, I copy them and add new possibilities. This is my personal ode to them that could give you tips for your classes too. Leslie showed me how to reflect on my teaching-learning process, Jose Luis offered me the keys to prepare didactic units, Blanca gave me ideas to prepare activities, Plácido helped me to understand why we should use L2 in class, Aurora made me see that ss sometimes do not realize their bad behaviour, Jorge taught me to write “you can do it” to my ss...
Jennifer Murray (The English Centre - Linares)
Intended audience: Bachillerato, ESO, Language School
As the students in our centre are required to do regular speaking assessments and an oral exam at the end of the year I felt it was important to devise some standard speaking tasks that are interesting for the students, productive in terms of language output and easy for teachers to administer. It was also essential to spend some time on selecting criteria for evaluating students’ performance. This is very much a work in progress session. I would like to demonstrate some of the tasks I am using with my classes and invite comment on them.
Víctor Pavón Vázquez (University of Córdoba - CETA)
Intended audience: Bachillerato, ESO.
Teaching the pronunciation of English, and the subsequent necessity of assessing oral skills, varies from an excessive attention on accuracy (long-short vowels, precise articulation, and other luxuries) to a very lax conception on what’s intelligible. Our view is to provide a more moderate, fruitful and effective attitude with respect to the sounds of English, concentrating on well-founded priorities: those sound features which really have an impact on intelligibility. We will also have a look at some fun and entertaining activities based on famous TV programmes: CQC and OT.
