  • 1:00 PM EST – 2:00 PM EST Actividades efectivas en la clase de español y cómo adaptarlas a diferentes contextos - Álvaro Sesmilo (Editorial Edinumen)

Resumen: Como sabemos, no hay un único enfoque o método que funcione con todos los perfiles de estudiantes y en todas las situaciones posibles de aprendizaje. Por esto, es muy relevante entender qué técnicas y dinámicas pueden ser efectivas en el aula de español y adquirir las habilidades para adaptarlas dependiendo del contexto en el que nos encontremos. Cuanto más flexibles sean los materiales con los que trabajamos en clase, más efectiva será la enseñanza. En este taller analizaremos diferentes aspectos metodólogos que tenemos que tener en cuenta a la hora de diseñar nuestro programa a través de ejemplos sacados de la colección Frecuencias. El objetivo es hacer que todos los participantes lleguemos a ser docentes 360º.

Álvaro Sesmilo, Licenciado en Filología Hispánica, Experto en la Enseñanza del Español como Lengua Extranjera por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y Máster en Formación de Profesores de Español por la Universidad de Alcalá de Henares. Profesor inquieto y aventurero con más de 15 años en la docencia. Ha ejercido como profesor de español y director académico en Holanda, Polonia, Singapur, EE.UU. y España.

  • 2:00 PM EST - 3:00 PM EST Community-Based Projects: The Fourth R in the Language Classroom - Dr. Barbara Jones

A generation ago, the most powerful instruction was built on Daggett’s 3Rs, Rigor, Relevance and Relationships. While these concepts hold true today, our students need a fourth R, Results. Community-based projects provide students with opportunities to apply their learning to real-world contexts and add immediate value to the classroom experience. In this interactive session, participants will review key concepts of project-based learning, analyze a sample project and identify ways to apply this approach to add the fourth R to their instructional setting.

Barbara Jones holds a doctoral degree in Teacher Education from the University of Houston, with a specialization in Teacher Professional Learning.  Her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees are in music.  As a professional musician in Venezuela, she became fascinated with the Spanish language and has worked in the field of bilingual/dual language education as a teacher, administrator and university professor. Currently, she serves as Director of Customer Success at Edinumen USA.
