55th ACBEU SEMINAR FOR EFL TEACHER
“Honoring the Past! Celebrating the Future!”
July 6th and 7th, 2016
ABSTRACTS:
Plenary Sessions:
Understanding Our Past, Mastering The Future - Jorge Teixeira (Oxford University Press)
In this ever-changing world, when we talk about new high tech tools, new trends in education,
etc., a question remains unanswered: “How do I, as a teacher, fit into all this?” In this session,
participants will be invited to share insights about professional development tools as well as
practical ideas for successful classroom management, bearing in mind that the teacher is still
the main gear in the teaching and learning environment.
Teaching Thinking Skills in the Language Classroom - Luciana Fernández (Cengage)
The world of education is increasingly using the term Critical Thinking and focusing their
attention on it as one of the key skills for our 21st century learners. The aim of this
presentation is to define what Critical Thinking is, what it comprises, why it is vital to integrate
it into the classroom and how to do so.
Modern Language methodology suggests using communicative tasks in the classroom for
which learners have to use personalisation, thinking and solve creatively using the target
language. Such tasks, as in real life, require use of language through critical thinking.
The presenter will focus on the use of authentic meaningful texts and audio visuals in the
language classroom in order to:
• Present, practice and apply vocabulary and structures in meaningful contexts.
• Enhance interaction.
• Develop speaking, listening, reading and writing.
• Develop comprehension and thinking skills.
Oral correction: More to it than meets the eye - Luiz Otávio Barros (Richmond)
Most of us tend to correct students while they're trying to get their grammar right (accuracy)
and avoid or delay correction when they're trying to convey their own meanings (fluency). Is
that the right thing to do or the easiest thing to do? Come to this session and find out.
Makerspaces - Jeff Kuhn (US Embassy)
A recent trend in American educational contexts is the Makerspace movement. This
movement seeks to connect educational materials through project--‐based activities. These
activities incorporate math, science, art, and even English to get students engaged in a learnby-doing approach. This workshop will provide participants with a variety of makerspace ideas
and how to start their own makerspace.
Teacher Development: All It Can Be! - Isabela Villas Boas (CTJ / Macmillan)
How can teachers be all they can be? An answer that immediately comes to mind is teacher
development, or continuing professional development. But what is teacher development? Is it
the same as CPD? What “counts” as teacher development? Why do teachers want and need
to develop? Who is responsible for teacher development? These and other intriguing
questions are going to be explored in this talk, which will also bring to life a variety of teacher
development stories.
Workshops:
06/07 - 2:00 to 3:30pm
Highly Effective Classroom Routines for Young Learners - Luciana Fernández (Cengage)
Successful teachers invest time on planning, establishing and rehearsing routines which permit
instruction to proceed fluently and efficiently. It is really important that students know what is
expected from them in the classroom and that teachers engage them in specific procedures
55th ACBEU SEMINAR FOR EFL TEACHER
“Honoring the Past! Celebrating the Future!”
July 6th and 7th, 2016
and routines that will ensure smooth transitions and will keep learners focused, on task and
productive.
In addition, language teachers have to use as much as the target language as possible and
challenge their learners to do so as well. Teachers can take the opportunity to use daily
routines to maximize and promote language use.
When teaching young learners, teachers need to be aware of the importance of routines for
them. Routines make young learners feel safe, help them know what to expect and make it
easier for teachers to manage the class, minimizing discipline issues and boredom and
maximizing motivation, attention and productivity.
Gaming 101: game Design for Classroom Activities - Jeff Kuhn (US Embassy)
This presentation explores how to use game design theories to create more effective
classroom activities for language learning. Attendees will learn the theory and research behind
enhanced engagement and motivation and how these are implemented in game design
principles.
The metaphor of the compass in the teacher’s life - Ernest Joseph Mchota (ACBEU)
This work workshop aims at helping teachers to constantly reflect on their teaching practices.
What are the underlying beliefs that guide us as teachers to adopt certain teaching practices at
the expense of others? The metaphor of the compass will definitely inspire us to embrace
“Practical Theorizing” as a way of life (Haggel & Hazel, 2006).
Yeah, music again!!! - Joelma de Oliveira Melo & Juarez Araújo Farias (ACBEU)
Music has always played a very important role on learners’ motivation. Even nowadays when
technology has taken over the classrooms, there is still place for songs in our classes. The aim
of this workshop is to share some interesting and meaningful ideas with those who believe
that music is much more than filling in the gaps.
4 steps to teaching culture - Conceição Rodrigues (Escola Municipal Joir Brasileiro) and
Rodrigo Gandini (UNEB)
During the workshop the participants will have the opportunity to get familiar with an
approach to teaching culture in a public school. The presentation is a result of partial studies of
a PIBID project in which a framework was adapted to plan lessons in four steps with the
objective of developing the intercultural competence in a research group of students.
Smart teachers, more efficient students – Berta Biondi (SBS)
The aim of this workshop is to present, in an efficient way, how classes can be involving and
meaningful to all kinds of students. Starting with the theory of Hower Gardner and then on to
new approaches of the Coaching methodology, we are going to explore the multiple abilities of
the students today using technology. These theories are going to be highly prioritized and
presented through interesting and up-to-date techniques.
06/07 - 4:30 to 6:00pm
The Googleverse: Using Google Tools in the Classroom - Jeff Kuhn (US Embassy)
While most teachers are aware of the basic Google tools, they may be unaware at the variety
of materials Google provides. In this workshop, participants will learn how to integrate Google
Translate, Google N--‐Gram viewer, Google Speech to Text, and the Google Cultural Institute
into classroom practice.
55th ACBEU SEMINAR FOR EFL TEACHER
“Honoring the Past! Celebrating the Future!”
July 6th and 7th, 2016
A methodology for teaching the deaf: the use of Sign Language in ELT - Roberto César Reis da
Costa (UFBA)
The purpose of this workshop is to demonstrate how Brazilian deaf learners are able to learn
English despite their hearing impairment. Assuming that Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) is
their first language, they might learn English as a foreign/second language. So come and join us
to understand an adequate methodology to use with deaf students.
Bullying e o lugar do professor na Mediação de conflitos entre alunos - Raquel Cardoso
Guirra (ACBEU)
Os conflitos nas relações escolares têm se tornado mais um desafio para o professor em sua
prática pedagógica. Encontrar elementos de mediação de conflitos e reconhecer o seu lugar no
processo de formação do aluno é um importante fator para a minimização destes episódios e
para que o professor se fortaleça na sua prática.
Thinking Outside the Books – Julia Kissy França Bandeira (ACBEU)
Most of the teachers use pedagogical material chosen by the institutions they work at.
Therefore, there is always the feeling of having to cover the expected content, keep up with
the schedule, and prepare the students for the tests. Thus, teachers might find no way out
other than sticking to the book’s activities, in what we call “bookish” classes. This workshop
aims at sharing some ideas in order to use the book as a guide, but still cover its content in a
way students have fun, use their creativity and expand not only their linguistics skills but also
critical thinking.
07/07 – 2:00 to 3:30pm
Shifting paradigms in assessment – a matter of mindset - Isabela Villas Boas (CTJ /
Macmillan)
This workshop begins with a review of the terminology related to assessment, such as
formative and summative, formal and informal, traditional and alternative. Next, the presenter
describes a paradigm shift from traditional, summative assessment of adults to an authentic,
formative system in an EFL setting, also showing examples of the assessment tools used. She
then discusses challenges and resistance faced to implement the project and the solutions
found. Managing change and nurturing a school that learns is the focus of this session.
Implementing Humanistic Approaches in English language classrooms through literature and
other arts - Fernanda Mota Pereira (UFBA)
This workshop aims to raise reflections on Humanistic Approaches in English language
classrooms, on the grounds of theories by the American psychologist Carl Rogers and the
Brazilian thinker Paulo Freire, and discuss strategies to implement them through literature and
other arts, such as: music, movies, painting and so forth.
Since the rise of the Designer Methods and the contributions of the American psychologist Carl
Rogers, there have been attempts to tailor learner-centered classes in which learners are
conceived in a holistic light rather than as reproducers of a language that is foreign to their
culture, needs, and profile. The search for learner-centeredness has paved the way for
approaches that provide learners with opportunities to be vocal about their experiences, thus
adding a humanistic component to the classes, in a Paulo Freirean fashion. Some of these
approaches are Humanistic Education, Content and Language Integrated Learning, Task-Based
Learning and Teaching, to name but a few. An underlying feature in these approaches is the
central role that motivation plays to keep learners engaged. Motivation has manifold
definitions and it certainly derives from, at least two main components, identification and
creativity, which can be easily found on the pages of literary texts and other arts. In the view of
55th ACBEU SEMINAR FOR EFL TEACHER
“Honoring the Past! Celebrating the Future!”
July 6th and 7th, 2016
that, the arts are fruitful resources that can be used by teachers not only to enhance linguistic
competence, but also intercultural and humanistic competence.
We flip cameras for #Selfies! Shall we flip the classroom? - Silvio Campos (Pearson)
Selfies are everywhere: on your social media timelines, in your camera, in the dictionary, in
your classro...Oh wait! If we flip cameras for pictures nowadays, isn't it time for flipping our
classroom to teach English? In this workshop, we are going to see how to create a studentcentered environment to increase their engagement.
Teaching for Success – Sérgio Lins (Macmillan)
The EFL world has been immersed with lots of technology and new trends in the last years.
There are, however, some basic (and new) concepts which should always be kept in mind if we
want to deliver successful lessons. From planning to reflection – what has changed and what
should not be changed. Come and share with us!
Minicourse:
Introdução à Educação Sistêmica – Leo Costa (ACBEU) & Conceição Ferreira
Nesse mini-curso de 3:00 horas apresentaremos as três Leis do Amor, descobertas por Bert
Hellinger e como elas podem ser aplicadas no contexto escolar, permitindo os professores, alunos,
famílias e direção escolar possam encontrar o seu lugar de força dentro das escolas, promovendo
mais leveza na relação de ensino e aprendizagem.
Looking at Professional Communities as key for school improvement – Raul Paraná (UFBA)
This minicourse aims at presenting the concept of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) and its
core principles. We will also look at how implementing PLCs can affect the entire school community
and lead to general improvement. Participants will be encouraged to share experiences, as well as
contribute actively in discussions and activities in which we will analyze certain school practices and
think about how one can change them to achieve better results.
Poster Session:
Having fun with the Cultural Box in the English classroom – Tuanne França (PIBID-UNEB)
The Cultural Box was developed by the presenter, who is an undergraduate student at UNEB,
as a result of her experience in the PIBID program (Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação
à Docência) of the Language Arts Course of UNEB, through the subproject: "The Intercultural
Approach in English Teaching in Public School of Salvador.
The Cultural Box project is based on the Intercultural Approach with the aim of raising students
awareness to other cultural practices, values, beliefs and relating them to their own culture.
Visiting the poster the participants will have the opportunity to get to know practical ways to
get students in the process of developing the intercultural competence in a relaxing
athmosphere.
Teaching English through Classic Literature books - Ana Rita Santana, Marieli Pereira &
Renata Miranda (SEC)
The purpose of English classes goes beyond helping students to develop their language
abilities, it also provides learners with the opportunity to know and think critically about their
own context as well as about other cultures. Considering it, we used Literature as a tool to
teach English language and foreign cultures in a creative and fun way, taking advantage of it as
an expression of historical, cultural and social events. So, this poster aims to show our
experiences in using classic books in English classes in order to study the language and develop
the learners’ critical thinking and creativity.

Talk:
Career education in language teaching contexts: Exploring links between content-based
instruction and vocational development - Silvia Teles (Socialize Consultoria)
The noticeable expansion of career education programs reflects a worldwide attempt to help
students become more aware of work and careers through systematic approaches and
guidance for schools. This session is about ways to connect content-based instruction with the
world of work. The underlying belief is that language classes can also foster students´
aspirations and exploration of a variety of careers and therefore become a medium of
vocational development as well.
Educação Sistêmica: um novo olhar para o professor, a escola e o aluno – Leo Costa (ACBEU)
Como as “Leis do Amor”, descobertas pelo filósofo alemão Bert Hellinger, atuam no sistema
escolar? Como, a partir da consciência dessas leis, podemos tornar o cotidiano escolar mais
leve e produtivo? Qual o lugar da família e do professor no sistema educacional? Essas e outras
questões serão abordadas durante essa apresentação introdutória à Educação Sistêmica, que
propõe um novo olhar para o fazer pedagógico e tem se consolidado como uma ferramenta de
grande utilidade para a educação em muitos contextos escolares pelo Brasil e pelo mundo.
