Humans perceive the world through their senses and then share their perceptions with others, chiefly through language. The interconnection between language and perception is key to understanding how we can coordinate with others in a perceptual world. Despite the importance of the senses, several branches of mainstream linguistics have largely disregarded them so far. In my talk, I will discuss new research investigating the sensory...

Metaphors surround us in art, literature, and in our conceptualization of education. These powerful tools help us understand what we do, why we do it, and who does what to or for whom. I will present some of the metaphors used as models for understanding education and for integrating education technology in language teaching. How do the core meanings of these metaphors contribute to wise or unwise choices as teachers? While they may be helpful at times, some of those...

Korea’s English education is facing a paradigm shift. Since the mid-1990s, when a communication-oriented approach was employed in the national English curriculum, the communicative approach has functioned as the basis of public school English education. During this time, numerous policies have been implemented to promote improved communication ability for teachers and learners. However, these policies have been evaluated as insufficient for both teachers and learners to...

How do we integrate technology effectively into our instructional practice? In this session, participants explore the five levels of technology use – from entry to transformation – and how to align them with characteristics of the learning environment (such as active learning and goal-directed learning) using the Tech Integration Matrix (TIM). We then practice plans for integrating technology using the TIM as a guide through a Hyperdoc. Through the Hyperdoc,...

Futuristic technology is not just the provenance of Hollywood movies. In this plenary, we will examine how seemingly futuristic technologies such as robots, haptics, wearable technology, machine learning, and more are becoming a part of our daily lives. More importantly, we examine what this might mean for language teachers, both now and in the future. How are these technologies transforming teaching and learning, and what does this mean for the future of our profession?

Approximately 20 years ago, the Internet as we know it today, started to become widely accessible. As part of the ensuing technological transformation, Online teaching and learning was hailed as being the "pedagogical future," which would democratize education. Students anywhere in the world could learn anything they wanted or needed to know, finally free of the traditional constraints of space, time and money. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) heralded a...
CT SIG Symposium: Restorative Approaches in ELT
September 23, 2017 - 9:30am to 4:00pm
Please, sign the guest list if you plan to come so that we know how many people to plan for.
Abstract:
Creating healthy learning communities is a goal that many language teachers share. Christian English teachers have a clear motivation for this as we have been given “the ministry of reconciliation” (2 Cor. 5:18). However, our training often leaves us on our own for figuring out how to do this in our classrooms in practice. Restorative approaches in English language teaching, built on the paradigm of restorative justice in education, can help teachers and students to better...
