APIBA ANNUAL SEMINAR 2016 Owning the global, generating the local

WELCOME Dear Participant, APIBA is pleased to welcome you to our 2016 Annual Seminar, whose primary aim has always been since its foundation in 1971 to provide English teachers with a permanent forum where issues can be discussed. This traditional event held year after year has contributed to keeping teachers up-to-date by offering them the opportunity to discuss with specialists and colleagues the latest research and experiences in the teaching of English as a foreign language. This year the title of our annual academic day is: "Owning the global, generating the local. ELT Professionals as innovation developers”. We will be exploring what challenges a globalised world with permeable borders poses to ELT professionals and in what way the role of English has changed and thus, our concerns and expected competencies as language teachers. We hope this new issue of our traditional annual event comes up to your expectations and helps you get updated on the latest trends and therefore grow as ELT professionals. Best wishes,

Virginia López Grisolía President

ABSTRACTS & BIODATA 09.00 - 10.15 | KEYNOTE PRESENTATION

Silvana Richardson A Call for Sensitive Glocalisation As part of our teacher education, we have been taught -and expected to implement- approaches to teaching EFL originally developed for the globally mobile ‘native speakers’ of English. Such approaches were designed for people with little or no initial teacher training in need of quick and practical solutions that would equip them to teach English anywhere in the world, implementing pretty much the same set of techniques and strategies irrespective of the local context(s) they happened to be working in. This pedagogy for and of the 'Native English Speaking Teacher' (NEST) does not always take into account the different educational, socio-cultural or linguistic backgrounds of local teachers and their learners, their speciﬁc and unique learning needs or their teaching and learning contexts. In this talk I will examine such approaches and make the case for a critical review of teacher education programmes. I will contextualise the need to ‘glocalise’ English Language Teaching within the context of two key paradigm shifts currently taking place in language education and second language teacher education: the ‘social turn’ and the ‘multilingual turn’. I will give practical examples of possible directions. Finally, I will argue for the need to include more evidence-informed pedagogies and to prepare teachers to become critical researchers of their own contexts.

APIBA SIGs (Special Interest Groups) A brief view of an extremely fruitful year! APIBA SIGs enable teachers with similar interests to share ideas, network and grow professionally through regular meetings, newsletters and conference events. A SIG is neither a course nor a seminar nor a lecture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a SIG is a study group in which all members participate and exchange ideas and opinions; a SIG is a discussion forum in which teachers of English can develop as professionals. SIG activities are open and democratic and small projects are also welcome. Throughout all these years this forum for exchange among colleagues has undergone changes and mergers as well as given birth to new groups. Such is the spirit of the SIGs: flexibility and diversity. We are very proud to show what they are currently doing and their future projects. 14

Leonor Corradi National Curricular Guidelines and ELT: A Dialogue to Construct This presentation aims at analysing the principles that underlie national curriculum documents for foreign languages, at evaluating to what degree they coincide with the principles of ELT and finally, at considering how a dialogue between the two would impact on both formal and teacher education. After the analysis, five colleagues will present their views on the relationship between curricular guidelines and their own educational contexts. A debate will follow whose aim is to find ways in which curricular documents and ELT can engage in dialogue and enhance students' learning. With Ana Verdelli, María José Gandini, Gustavo Paz and Mónica Gandolfo.

ABSTRACTS & BIODATA 14.00 - 15.30 | CONCURRENT SESSION #1

Florencia Perduca & research team Reading Border Literatures in the Intercultural English Class The constitution of transnational identities in Englishes springing from interconnected “travelling cultures” characterises the experience of multicultural communities whose roots hybridise in every new route. English language represents border cultures which are always ‘in the making’ and in a constant process of ‘becoming’ through intercultural mediation. Border literatures offer the opportunity for students of English(es) to delve into the multiple references that constitute different cultural codes and they can be used as resource materials to work actively on critical cultural awareness and intercultural interpretation in the ELT class.

Exorcising Grammar

Exorcising Grammar is a book which stemmed from a research project, conducted at I.E.S. en Lenguas Vivas “Juan R. Fernández”, which comprised the design of material for teaching the subject English Grammar I, both in the Translator and the Teacher Training Courses. The project aimed, among other goals, at providing students with tools to explore the Grammar of English (and Grammar in general), shifting the focus of attention and going from problems to theory. The workshop will provide participants with an introduction to the exercises in the book and a hands-on experience of some of the material, which will allow them to put their intuitions to work in the analysis of the structure of the language. Research team: Cristina Banﬁ, Silvia Iummato, Graciela Palacio, José Durán, Carlos Gelormini and María Laura Hermida.

ABSTRACTS & BIODATA 16.00 - 17.00 | DISCUSSION PANEL

A curricular exorcism of glocal guidelines Moderator: Pablo Toledo Speakers: Silvana Richardson, Cristina BanďŹ , Florencia Perduca & Leonor Corradi After the day's sessions, the speakers will gather for a panel discussion to wrap up ideas and stir thought-provoking debate. Is there a divide between our teacher training and the professional and educational ďŹ eld we live in? How about the rift between theories, policy and reality? And speaking of parallel universes, a look at the current debates in the ELT profession across the world shows very little overlap with our (scarce) local agenda... is Argentina a singularity in language teaching, do we have our own set of priorities or have we simply lost touch? Are we as hot and cool as we think? Is research for ELT practitioners an expensive hobby for the leisurely few, a true priority for our institutions or a feather for some colleagues' caps? This and much more, until the police breaks up the party. Pablo Toledo is currently Education and Society Manager for British Council Argentina. He has worked as an English and English literature teacher and teacher trainer at several institutions, and has presented at conferences and workshops across the country. He is also an award-winning novelist and has worked as a journalist and educational publisher at the Buenos Aires Herald."
