Herbert Puchta | 14h

Teaching English online: principles, personal reflections and propositions

In his opening session, Herbert Puchta will briefly lay out the reasons why the students’ cognitive and emotional engagement in the learning process, their progress, and their sense of ownership of the language they are learning are key principles we have to keep in mind if we want to teach a foreign language successfully. Herbert will then reflect on his experiences so far with teaching a group of nine-year-olds online in the current home-learning situation, and will discuss the possible relevance and applicability of his experiences to working with teenage students. Finally, he will make a number of propositions aimed at enriching the teaching methodology widely used under the current conditions. These propositions could also create a meaningful link between the situation now and future classroom experiences, and help to make those more meaningful and fun to the students.

Mariano Quinterno | 17h30

From Learners’ Inaction to Learners in Action: Project-Based Learning with a Critical Twist

In Project-Based Learning, students engage in the exploration of a problem and, guided by a meaningful question, they set out together to design or create a final product (Larmer & Mergendoller, 2010). In this presentation we will first discuss some of the essential elements of project design which can inform our planning of both online and on-site lessons. We will then explore some sample projects which can be carried out by young learners, teenagers and adults in the context of an EFL class.

Food for Thought

As part of the Cambridge Day events, we request the participants and our partners to donate food to local institutions. As a way of continuing to support social actions that reflect the Cambridge University Press Brasil - Food for Thought project, in this edition, we will support Ação da Cidadania, an institution that has been working since 2003 to combat hunger and poverty in Brazil.

Together we can rise to future challenges and build a brighter future.
