Education constantly changes, as does the demands made upon it and the expectations placed upon it’s teachers. Each day the world changes, what was satisfactory yesterday is obsolete today and in the history books tomorrow. In this presentation, we will look at the changes, the challenges, the reality and the failures that I have experienced as gringo English teacher during my 22 years of living and teaching in Peru.

Over the course of decades, English has proven to be instrumental in getting people better jobs, possibilities for advancement and an overall chance to move ahead in life. However, all of these advantages, while relevant, mostly focus on the person as an individual. Could English be the means to have a positive impact on our society or the world? How can we exploit the full potential of this language in our classrooms? In this session, we will go over these questions and we will identify opportunities in our lessons to help students become globally-aware agents of change.

Educational neuroscience is the discipline that combines neuroscience, pedagogy, and psychology bringing the current research from how the brain learns, behaves, and relates to instructional practices in the classroom. Every class, assignment, and experience shapes the human brain. Understanding how the brain processes information into learning and knowing more about what it takes for students’ brains to be engaged, responsive, and alert are fundamental to the teaching and learning process.

By bringing together socio-constructivist pedagogy, assessment validity, ecological linguistics, assessment for learning and learning-oriented assessment, we see the classroom as an ecosystem where the alignment of all the elements leads to better learning. In this session, we will explore how the way we integrate assessment into this ecosystem is crucial and will look at principles that enable us to make decisions with maximum impact

Come prepared to participate in this practical session.
