Interchange for the 21st Century Learner - Glenn Mathes

Your students are 21st century learners and you want to be confident that you are giving them the skills they need. Using Interchange, we will look specifically at building the following 21st century skills: critical thinking/problem solving, creativity, oral and written communication, teamwork/collaboration, and ICT (Information and communication technology) skills.

Glenn Mathes has been a teacher, teacher trainer, program coordinator, writer, and editor. He is currently a publisher for Cambridge University Press based in the New York City office. He is responsible for publishing the Jack Richards’ courses Interchange, Passages, and Four Corners.

Talk 2

Discovering Video - Ceri Jones

Now, more than ever, video is one of the most important mediums of communication in our connected world. In this session we will explore the power of video in the language classroom: as a stimulus to creativity; as a context for language; as a reason to communicate. We will look at how video opens our classroom doors to the outside world, opens our students minds to new experiences and supports the growth and development of language and communication.

Ceri is a freelance teacher, trainer and materials writer. She’s been working in ELT since 1986 and in Spain since 1998. She’s particularly interested in student-centred materials and activities. She writes about her experiences and her experiments on her blog, Close Up. She has recently been working with Ben Goldstein on a new secondary course for Cambridge University Press.
