CONFERENCIA 1: 

"Learner and Teacher Development through Everyday Practices"

RESUMEN: "In this talk I explain the concept of learner autonomy (ability to take control of one's own learning) and indicate how students' autonomy can be engaged and developed both outside and within classrooms, including in 'difficult circumstances'. I also indicate how teachers can assert their own autonomy on a day-to-day basis, taking back control of their own development by consulting with students, engaging them in research, and both exploring and reflecting on what goes on."

Lugar: IES LV JRF, sede Pompeya, Aníbal P. Arbeletche 1052, CABA

CONFERENCIA 2: 

"After Methods, What Then?"

RESUMEN: "I begin with a critical look at the history of ‘methods’ to examine whether and, if so, why a 'post-method condition' has arisen. Concrete suggestions for moving ‘beyond’ methods have been rare, and so I explain and illustrate some possible approaches to the development of contextually appropriate methodology – via sharing of locally defined successes, via engagement in realistic teacher-research, and via collaboration within teacher networks and associations. Finally, I return to history and suggest that another way forward may lie, paradoxically, in rediscovering useful traditions."

Fecha / Horario: Miércoles 15 de Abril, 14 hs.
Lugar: Escuela Normal Superior N° 1 en Lenguas Vivas “Pte Roque Saenz Peña”, Av. Córdoba 1951, Auditorio Máxima Lupo, C.A.B.A.
