Niall Curry | 14h

Addressing a unique language learning challenge: language learning anxieties and virtual classrooms

It is well evidenced that language learning evokes a unique form of language learning anxiety. In this current climate of uncertainty, it is increasingly important that we take into account the relevance and potential impact of such learning anxieties on our learners. Understanding how such anxieties emerge and how they can be practically addressed to support learning is a challenge faced by each teacher. Therefore, in this talk, Niall explores how we can support our learners to manage their language learning anxieties remotely, bringing together existing research and translating it into practical guidance for teachers and learners.

Top resources for teaching, learning and assessment

We strongly believe that good preparation for teaching, learning and assessing learners depends on effective teacher support. In order to meet teachers’ expectations, and in response to the Covid-19 situation, Cambridge Assessment English and Cambridge University Press joined forces to put together a range of materials which you can easily access, download and use with your students. Apart from downloadable resources, you can also choose from a range of online activities and apps. You will also be introduced to online tools for writing practice with immediate feedback, to teaching and digital frameworks for your professional development and many more!

Effective Online Teaching - Brain-Friendly Strategies

Teachers all over the world are being asked to redefine the way they work to respond to the challenges of COVID-19 and massive online teaching for hundreds of students in quarantine. In this presentation, we will first identify some potential barriers both teachers and students may face in the new learning environment, based on Neuroscience and research evidence. Then we will introduce a number of brain-friendly strategies that will surely help young and adult learners to be successful while experiencing distance language learning. Come join me and let us uncover together some of the best advice the science of the brain wants to share at one of the most demanding moments educators have to face.

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.
