Taking storybook lessons further
through art, drama, sport & even
yoga
Nicky Francis
More and more teachers all over
the world recognise the value of
using authentic storybooks to
teach English to children. In Paris
we decided to go one step further and tap into
our early years and young learners’ natural
curiosity, imagination, creativity and energy to
create a programme which developed the whole
child. In this hands on session I will give real
examples of how art, sport & yoga can be
incorporated into story book based courses and
give teachers the opportunity to try out and
share their own ideas and experiences.
Nicky Francis is a teacher, teacher trainer,
materials writer and equality and diversity
coordinator and is currently working as a senior

Marie-Hélène Fasquel
This talk will enable you to discover
a truly engaging and innovative ESL
project and to learn about the web
tools which were selected to
implement it with 15-year-old
students. The whole project helped
the students defend the
environment thanks to ICT in an international
context. It encouraged creativity, sharing and
collaboration. It was awarded one of the 5
UNESCO Innovation prizes in March 2013. It
has been selected to compete at the Global
Forum from March 11 to March 15, 2014 in
Barcelona. 250 worldwide projects were
selected out of 23000 applications. The
presentation will be followed by a question &
answer session. Feel free to join us!

and teacher trainer. She will teach at the Ile de
Nantes International Lycée next year. She has
taken part in the Innovative Teachers Forum for
the last four years and her latest project was
awarded an Innovation Prize at the UNESCO
Council, Paris. Her specialist area is primary,
although she has been involved in both teacher
training for French early years’ and teaching a
new early years programme. She is passionate
about using story books to teach English and set
up an association, The Story Seeds, in 2009,
giving workshops to teachers and children.
De plus en plus d’enseignants dans le monde
reconnaissent la valeur de l’utilisation des livres
d’histoires authentiques pour enseigner l’anglais

plus loin et de puiser dans nos premières années
et dans la curiosité naturelle, l’imagination, la
créativité et l’energie des jeunes élèves pour
créer un programme pour le développement
global de l’enfant. Dans cet atelier pratique

Keynote Speakers
Affective language learning
with young learners
Juan Alberto Lopez Uribe
young learners can be enhanced through
positive affective language learning
environments.
Affect is certainly a powerful
differential source of success
or failure in the learning of
English by young learners.
Children experience a wide
range of feelings, emotions,
and moods while learning a foreign language,
which lead them to create long-lasting mental
models about language uses, learning methods,
and their own linguistic competence.
L'apprentissage affectif des langues chez les
jeunes apprenants
The presenter will host a workshop in which
participants will learn how caring, play,
imagination, curiosity, challenge, laughter, and
pride can be fostered through affective and
effective pedagogical postures and practices.
Juan Alberto Lopez Uribe holds a Bachelors
degree in Pedagogy from the Catholic University
in São Paulo (PUC-SP) and a Masters in
Education in Human Development and Applied
Psychology from OISE at the University of
Toronto. In his research he focuses on how selfesteem, student engagement, and identity of
New technologies, school trips
and music: How to increase
class interactivity/creativity
and student engagement
Stéven Huitorel
One of the biggest challenges
both teachers and educators
are facing on en everyday basis
is keeping our students
engaged in order to, hopefully,
make them better speakers, better listeners,
betters writers and better readers in English.
Based on my daily experience as an ESL teacher
in a rural secondary school (Collège Jean
Monnet, Broons), my presentation will explore
the notion of “project building”, within the
classroom, as well as, on a larger scale, beyond
the boundaries of the classroom.
Stéven Huitorel is a secondary school teacher
and singer-songwriter from Brittany. He has a
Masters degree in English from Queen’s
University where he studied the rehabilitation
L'affectif s'avère être une forte source
différentielle de succès ou d'échec dans le
processus d'apprentissage de l'anglais chez les
jeunes apprenants. Les enfants éprouvent une
multitude de sentiments, d'émotions et d'états
d'esprit en apprenant une langue étrangère, ce
qui les amène à développer des schémas
psychologiques perdurables par rapport à
l'usage d'une langue; aux
méthodes
d'apprentissage et à leurs propres compétences
linguistiques.
A cet effet, l'intervenant organisera un atelier au
sein duquel les participants apprendront
comment
l'intérêt que les enfants portent à certaines
activités, le jeu, l'imagination, la curiosité, le rire
et l'amour-propre peuvent être encouragés à
l'aide des attitudes et pratiques pédagogiques
affectives et efficaces.
process of ex-IRA prisoners. He has been
teaching ESL in a local prison for 5 years.
TICE, séjours linguistiques et musique:
Comment optimiser l’interactivité, la créativité
et la motivation des élèves en classe de langue
vivante.
Au quotidien, l’un des défis majeurs pour les
enseignants/éducateurs est de conserver intacte
la motivation de leurs élèves, dans le but d’en
faire des personnes qui parlent mieux, qui
comprennent mieux, qui écrivent et qui lisent
mieux en langue anglaise.
Basée sur mon expérience de terrain en tant
qu’enseignant d’anglais dans un collège rural
(Collège Jean Monnet Broons), mon
intervention aura pour thème principal l’idée de
création de projet, au sein même de la classe,
mais aussi plus largement, en dehors des
frontières de la classe.
Les trois axes que je développerai auront tous
comme point commun l’idée du voyage. Le
voyage est polysémique, et peut être vu sous des
angles différents.

Plenary
Speaker
10 ideas to help you inspire yourself and your
learners
In this plenary talk I will share some personal
messages about inspiring children and teenagers in
language classrooms. Even though every teacher will
ultimately have to work out their own way of
becoming ‘inspirational’ in their own classrooms, in
this talk I would like to offer some concrete ideas that I
have found inspirational in working with teachers and
young learners, and suggest that at least some of
these ideas can be useful to others. My ideas have
come from 15 years of researching and studying child
second language learning and working closely with
English teachers from all over the world as part of my
job at the University of Warwick. The talk will
summarise my messages as 10 lessons that teachers
can take away and adapt/ try out in their own
classrooms. Concrete ideas, activities and examples
will be used to illustrate the core messages, and in
some, where this is possible, teachers in the audience
will be able to explore and experience these ideas
through active participation.
Dr Annamaria Pinter is an Associate Professor at the
Centre for Applied Linguistics, University of Warwick,
UK. She lectures at Masters and Doctoral levels and
supervises theses in the area of teaching languages to
children. She has published widely in the area of
teaching English to young learners. She is the author
of Teaching Young Language Learners Oxford
Handbooks for Language Teachers, Oxford University
Press (2006) and Children Learning Second

Jo Budden: LearnEnglish Teens: A global online learning community for teenagers.
Themes: Teenage Learners and Technology in the Classroom
Promoting a particular book or product.
LearnEnglish Teens is the British Council’s website
for teenage learners. This talk will examine how and
why teenagers interact and exchange ideas on the
website. We will explore the language learning
opportunities this provides and we will also look at
what else the teenagers are learning, apart from
English, by communicating with their peers from
around the world
LearningEnglish Teens est le nom du site web du
British Council pour les adolescents. Cette
présentation va examiner comment et pourquoi les
adolescents interagissent et échangent leurs idées
sur le site web. On va explorer les différentes
opportunités pour apprendre une langue grâce à ce
site ainsi qu’examiner ce que les adolescents sont en
train d’apprendre, en plus la langue anglaise, en
communicant avec d’autres adolescents du même
âge dans le monde.
Beata Budzynska: “Let's move” – designing engaging language games for young learners
Themes: Primary learners and Teenage Learners
Promoting a particular book or product.
The workshop explains the basics of Game Based
Learning, a method that focuses on implementing any
learning objectives into a game. We will explore the
mechanisms behind the games, in context of young
learners' specific needs and how to implement them
into the ESL practice. We will present games for
learning via movement for learners 2-9 and more
advanced solutions for teenagers. All solutions will
be supported by practical DIY tips.
Cet atelier va expliquer les bases de l’Apprentissage
par les Jeux, une méthode qui met l’accent sur la mise
en œuvre des objectifs d’apprentissage grâce à
n’importe quel jeu. Nous étudierons les mécanismes
derrières les jeux dans le contexte des besoins des
jeunes apprenants et comment les mettre en place
dans le contexte de l’anglais langue étrangère/
seconde. Pour les enfants âgés de 2 à 9 ans, nous
présenterons les jeux pour l’apprentissage de la
langue à travers le mouvement et des solutions plus
avancées pour les adolescents. Toutes les solutions
proposées seront présentées accompagnées de
conseils pour réaliser les jeux
Erica Dawson: 21st Century Skills: Learning and Teaching for the Future
Themes: Teacher Training and Development and Speaking Skills
Think back about 20 years. Few people had mobile
phones. Even fewer had internet access. No one had
even heard of Google, emailing, or WIFI. What will
the next 20 years bring? And how can we prepare our
students? Instead of focusing on technology today,
teachers can focus on skills needed in the 21st
century: critical thinking, communication,
collaboration, and creativity. This presentation will
look at how teachers can develop these skills in their
classrooms easily and confidently, integrating them
with the teaching of language and the development
of the 4 traditional skills.
Pensez 20 ans en arrière. Peu de gens avaient de
téléphones portables. Moins encore avaient l’accès à
Internet. Personne n’avait entendu parler de Google,
email ou WIFI. Qu’est ce que va amener les 20
prochaines années? Et comment pouvons-nous y
préparer nos étudiants. Au lieu de regarder la
technologie d’aujourd’hui, les professeurs peuvent se
concentrer sur les compétences nécessaires pour le
21e siècle: la pensée critique, la communication, la
collaboration et la créativité. Cette présentation
exposera comment les professeurs peuvent utiliser
ces compétences dans leurs classes facilement et
avec confiance, en les intégrant à l’enseignement
d’une langue étrangère et dans le développement des
4 compétences traditionnelles.

Terry Elliott: Kid’s Box, pourquoi pas ?
Theme: Primary learners
Promoting a particular book or product.
Activities that give confidence to a child in an
environment which allows him/her to evolve at his/
her rhythm, through a large range of choices in well
defined framework through which offers teachers a
certain flexibility. Here is what Kid’s Box proposes to
all those interested in the learning of English in
primary school.
Des activités qui donnent confiance à un enfant dans
un environnement qui lui permet d’évoluer à son
rythme, une flexibilité certaine offerte aux
enseignants à travers une large gamme de choix dans
un cadre pédagogique bien défini. Voilà ce que Kid’s
Box propose à tous ceux qui s’intéressent à
l’apprentissage de l’anglais à l’école primaire.
Gail Ellis: 25 years of storytelling in France and beyond
Themes: Primary learners and Teacher Training and Development
The teaching of English to children continues to
expand worldwide. However, there is a great deal of
variation in policy so children receive language
learning experiences of varying types and quality. Consequently, teachers find themselves with diverse
classes with differing levels of English. Storybooks
offer an ideal solution - all children are able to
understand the overall meaning of a story with the
support of storytelling techniques and the
accompanying illustrations. Each child can then
respond according to their own linguistic level and
cognitive ability. In this talk, I will demonstrate the
competencies required to successfully implement a
story-based approach.
L’enseignement de l’anglais aux enfants continue à se
répandre mondialement. Cependant, la
méthodologie et la qualité de l’enseignement pour les
enfants varient beaucoup car les politiques de
l’enseignement sont très variées. En conséquence,
enseignants se trouvent avec des diverses classes de
niveaux d’anglais différents. Les livres de contes
offrent une solution idéale, tous les enfants peuvent
comprendre l’histoire globale d’un conte avec l’aide
de techniques de la narration et par les illustrations qui accompagnent l’histoire. Ensuite, chaque enfant
peut répondre selon son propre niveau linguistique
et sa capacité cognitive. Cette présentation explorer
les compétences nécessaires pour mettre en œuvre une approche basée sur les histoires.
Elsien Gale: 10 Speaking Activities for large classes of monolingual teenagers
Themes: Teenage Learners and Speaking Skills
This is an interactive, no, active! workshop in which
the participants will be encouraged to try out 10
activities that will help to get teenagers in large
monolingual classes to speak in English. The activities
proposed are the ones that the speaker has found
really work in her long experience working with
teenagers in monolingual classes: in UK, Belgium,
France, China and the Pacific. Some are stolen from
others, but adapted - credit will be given where due and others are original creations ...
C’est un atelier interactif, non actif, dans lequel les
participants seront encouragés à essayer 10 activités
qui aideront à motiver des adolescents à parler en
anglais dans une classe monolingue. Les activités
proposées ont fait leurs preuves auprès des
adolescents dans des classes monolingues au
Royaume-Uni, en Belgique, en France, en Chine et
dans le Pacifique. Certaines sont des adaptations et
certaines sont des créations de notre présentatrice.

Nayr Ibrahim & Sophie Handy: Assessment for Learning: taking the pain out of testing!
Themes: Language Testing and Primary Learners
Assessment for Learning (AfL) is a holistic approach
to assessing students’ progress, which engages
students more deeply in the learning process. It
doesn’t exclude tests, but includes a wide range of
activities to be assessed (tests, classwork,
homework, project work, student presentations)
through an on-going, interactive dialogue between
teacher and student. AfL gives the teacher a deeper
understanding if his/her students, and gives the
students a clear learning path with explicit learning
objectives, clear success criteria and positive,
constructive feedback.
AFL (Evaluation pour Apprentissage) est un
approche holistique afin d’évaluer le progrès des
étudiants en les impliquant plus profondément dans
le processus d’apprentissage. Les examens ne sont
pas exclus mais incluent une plus grande gamme
d’activités pour évaluer (des travaux pratiques, des
devoirs, du travail de groupe et des présentations),
ainsi que par l’évaluation continue et le dialogue
entre les étudiants et les professeurs. AFL donne à
l’enseignant une compréhension plus profonde de
ses élèves et cela donne à l’élève un programme
d’apprentissage plus clair qui inclut les objectifs
d’apprentissage clairs avec des objectifs explicites,
des critères de réussite ainsi qu’un dialogue
constructif.
Michaela Kirchem: Lessons learned: Designing and producing a teen syllabus and materials
Themes: Materials Design and Publishing and Teenage Learners
There are many reasons for an institution to opt for
designing and producing their own materials rather
than working with published materials readily
available on the market. This presentation will take a
detailed look at a material writing project tailored to
suit the specific needs of a teaching institution. The
project brief was to designing a course covering the
levels A1 to C1 suitable for international teenagers
on two-week language learning vacation. Join this
presentation to find out more about the obvious and
less obvious project stages and challenges for
everyone involved in a "publish-your-own" project.
Il y a beaucoup de raisons pour une institution de
décider de concevoir et produire leurs propres
matériaux pédagogiques au lieu de travailler avec les
matériaux pédagogiques déjà disponibles sur le
marché. Cette présentation va étudier en détail un
projet d’écriture de matériaux pédagogiques afin de
les adapter aux besoins spécifiques de l’institution.
L’objectif du projet était de concevoir un cours
portant sur les niveaux A1 à C1 adapté à des
adolescents internationaux pendant un séjour
linguistique de deux semaines. Venez à cette
présentation afin de découvrir les étapes et défis
évidents (et moins évidents) nécessaires dans un
projet de publier soi-même.

Karen Pettini: Make 55 Minutes Fly: Interactive Vocabulary and Grammar Ideas
Themes: Grammar and Vocabulary Development and Teenage Learners
Fifty-five minutes with teenagers in an English class
can be long. You want to engage your students and
keep them interested, but you need some new ideas. Have you ever tried using balls in class to foster
interaction? How about picture strips or “speeddating” for vocabulary?
55 minutes peuvent sembler très longues dans un
cours d’anglais pour les adolescents. Vous voulez
engager vos étudiants, de les garder intéressés mais
vous avez besoin de nouvelles idées. Est-ce que vous
avez essayé d’utiliser des ballons pour stimuler
l’interaction? Et les photos ou le modèle “speed
dating’ pour le vocabulaire?

Queenie Tan: The Hills Are Alive! : Using Music In The Kindergarten Classroom
Themes: Teacher Training and Development and Listening Skills
Swiss Psychologist, Jean Piaget theorized that young
children go through the Sensory Motor Stage,
meaning that they rely on a combination of sensory
stimulation and movement as a means of learning
about the world around them. With this in mind,
well-implemented music and movement activities
are instrumental in teaching English as a second
language. During this talk, we will explore the
benefits and roles that music and movement play in
the development of children’s language skills. We will
also look at some tips on enhancing the music and
movement activities within the kindergarten
classroom.
Jean Piaget, le psychologue Suisse, avait la théorie
que les jeunes enfants passent par une période
d’intelligence sensorimotrice, ce qui veut dire qu’il
pensait qu’une combinaison de stimulation
sensorielle et de mouvement comme moyen pour les
enfants d’apprendre le monde autour d’eux. Dans cet
esprit, les activités de musique et de mouvement en
classe sont importantes et contribuent bien à
l’enseignement de l’anglais comme seconde langue.
Pendant cette présentation on va explorer les
bénéfices et les rôles que jouent la musique et le jeu
en mouvement dans le développement des
compétences du langage de l’enfant. On va aussi voir
certaines idées pour améliorer l’utilisation de la
musique et les des activités de mouvement ajoutent
dans en classe de maternelle.

songs and games.
Cette session a pour but de vous donner nombre de
conseils pratiques pour aider vos élèves dyslexiques
en classe. Dans un premier temps, nous verrons de
manière générale quels types de problèmes des
enfants dyslexiques peuvent rencontrer en cours,
ainsi que quelques moyens simples de les aider.

jeux.
Enrique Linan: How to P.A.C.E. your Grammar Lessons
Themes: Grammar and Vocabulary Development and Teacher Training and Development
As ESOL teachers, we all know that teaching
grammar poses a great challenge to us. Thus, it is
crucial to come up with practices that inspire our
learners to feel comfortable when using the language
in a safe environment. In this session, the speaker will
share an innovative way to teach grammar using a
story-based approach that will get students in the
mood to practice the language by discovering it. This
four-step method is based on the importance of
developing awareness of FORM, MEANING, and USE
of the target language, which is achieved when
instructors P.A.C.E their lessons.
En tant qu’e professeur d’ESOL, nous savons tous que
l’enseignement de la grammaire représente un grand
défi. Donc, c’est nécessaire de trouver des pratiques
qui inspirent nos apprenants et de se sentir à l’aise
dans la langue grâce à un environnent rassurant.
Dans cet atelier nous allons découvrir une façon
innovatrice en employant une approche basée sur les
histoires racontées, donnant ainsi aux étudiants une
atmosphère de découverte. Cette méthode en
quatre étapes est basée sur l’importance du
développement d’une connaissance de la FORME, de
la SIGNIFICATION, et de l’EMPLOI de la langue
ciblée, qui est atteint quand les professeurs P.A.C.E.
leurs leçons.

Lynne Diaz-Rico: Translanguaging Places--Past, Present, and Future--through Intercultural Blogs
Themes: Teenage learners and Technology in the Classroom
Writing from the heart evokes the deepest, most
motivating communication. This workshop draws on
the semiotics of place to provide a structure for
intercultural communication. Participants
experience a seven-level model of semiotic
awareness, keyed to seven levels of English language
development… a development that honors the roots
in first language while giving wings to the second
language growth. Meaning builds upon meaning as
participants create texts that are grounded in their
own local, semiotic cultural knowledge. Participants
learn to create and enjoy intercultural blogs as a way
to share translanguaged insights across and between
students of different cultures.
D’écrire de nos cœurs évoque la communication plus
profonde et plus motivante. Cet atelier s’appuie sur
la structure de la communication interculturelle. Les
participants vont expérimenter un modèle de sept
niveaux d’une connaissance sémiotique, s’accordant
aux sept niveaux du développent de la langue
anglaise… un développent qui respecte les racines de
la langue maternelle en donnant des ailes à la
croissance dans la deuxième langue. La signification
est construite sur une autre signification pendant
que les participants créent des textes fondés dans
leur propre connaissance culturelle sémiotique. Les
participants vont apprendre comment créer et aimer
les blogs interculturels comme une façon de partager
des idées de “translanguaging”(l’emploie de plusieurs
langues pour communiquer) à travers et entre des
étudiants de cultures différents.
