● Challenges and Lessons Learned in Research for the ELT Context
Audience: All

This colloquium will explore the challenges faced by four countries in the CA&CB/Latin America group in the area of research in ELT. Recently, teachers have been demanded to go into research, which is not always as easy as it seems given the conditions in which ELT teachers work in Latin American countries. Each of the participants will present and explain the lessons learned from experience as well as the current situation regarding research in the ELT context in their countries, challenges to overcome, the ongoing issues and their expectations for the future in the field.

The presenters in this colloquium were – María Susana González (University of Buenos Aires) – Leticia Araceli Salas Serrano (Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de México BUAP) – Carlo Granados Beltrán (Institución Universitaria Colombo Americana – ÚNICA)


My generation… The youngest generations… Your generation…These expressions are often used to refer to shared perceptions and interpretations of the world that may bring people together or, at times, keep them apart. This webinar will connect generational theory to the online ELT class and reveal some interesting ‘whys’ behind students’ and teachers’ recurrent behavior worldwide. Attendees will be led to recognize their own generational teaching and learning barriers and find result-oriented ways of overcoming them in search of enhanced learning results. Participants’ specific take-away will include student-proven strategies to choose, grade, adapt and design class activities in a generationally-friendly approach to unleash their teaching potential and facilitate online learning.
