					<description><![CDATA[TESOL Spring Day is a one-day conference where the format tends to&#160;veer&#160;away from the traditional colloquium or national conference format. The themes tend to be more specific than their longer conference and it attracts a more intimate number of delegates. REGISTRATION&#160;now open! &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160;&#160; &#160; SPRING DAY Educator Exchange: Tips and Insights Date: Saturday, 25th of May Time: 9:00 AM- 6:00 PM Venue: Ageca,&#160;&#160;177 rue de Charonne 75011 PARIS &#160; TESOL France invites you to attend this year&#8217;s Spring Day 2024 in Paris (11eme). Come and listen to captivating topics, exciting developments in English language education in France and share your insights with colleagues.&#160;&#160; 12 speakers X 12 minutes. Invited speakers from&#160;our teaching community here in France will present their topics of interest in line with a TEDEd-style talk format. Speakers will be grouped together in sessions (4 talks per session). Following each session, there will be a brief discussion time to exchange thoughts.&#160; We are excited to invite you to gather for a day of talks and interactive discussions where you will have the opportunity to share and ask questions. Some of the topics that will be presented: &#160; Mindfulness and Wellbeing Networking resources for entrepreneurs Career Development&#160; the bilingual and multilingual classroom Developing fluency meaningfully Boosting confidence Bringing real-world activities into the classroom Games to encourage speaking &#160; Talks will be divided into three sessions and then followed by smaller facilitated discussion groups.&#160; &#160; Presenters are coming from different perspectives of the topics which hopefully will peak your interest and allow you to discover what is happening as well as how to navigate within the trends and changes upcoming. This is a FACE-TO-FACE event in a new venue for TESOL:&#160;Ageca,&#160;&#160;177 rue de Charonne 75011&#160;Paris&#160;for a full day of presentations, discussion and networking. Possibilities to&#160;continue the group interaction by having people join small groups for lunch outside of the venue. About the talks: Session A The New Inclusive Teacher for the Future of Education / Soad Louissi Despite the growing number of students diagnosed with psychological and learning disabilities, only 37% of students disclose their disability because of the continued stigma. How can educators encourage students to disclose their disabilities, putting in place the appropriate accommodations to promote the growth and development of each student so that they can reach their full potential? Teaching Teenagers, Don&#39;t Be a Teacher, Be a Student! / Victor Sakanwi Teaching teenagers can be challenging for a multitude of reasons, one of which is a certain heightened resistance to being told what to do. As an ESL teacher, creating and maintaining that perfect balance between allowing students to freely express themselves while also establishing structure and order in the classroom, is a tall task. The secret to this symbiosis is to go undercover! Undercover Teaching allows you to establish order from the inside where classroom management and order becomes the concern of the group rather than that of the teacher alone. How a Cooperative Could Make You and Your Business Happier / Diane Tisdall Many self-employed English teachers struggle to find financial security, decent working conditions, and business development support. I run my business through Appuy Comp&#233;tences, a cooperative training centre. In my talk, I&#8217;ll share how a cooperative works, how I fit into that and how you too can work from a position of strength and stability in a community of like-minded people. Career development after teaching / Jessica Etridge What can you do when you want to step back from teaching but still want to be involved in the pedagogical process? Materials writing? E-learning designer? Project management? Training manager? Our experience as educators equips us to fulfill all of these training roles and more both inside AND outside of ELT. Storytelling as a Method to Jump-Start Students&#8217; Oral Expression / Sonyth Huber Have you ever faced a group of students, or a single student, with a low level and thought: &#34;There has GOT to be a better way!&#34; If this sounds familiar, here&#39;s a quick overview of a method that I&#39;ve developed in my 20+ years of teamwork with my students. Boost their oral and written expression skills as well as their self-confidence and set out together on a journey to conquer a mutual foe: their belief that they are &#34;nul en anglais&#34;.

To use English with confidence, students need extensive and engaging practice. Without it, they are less prepared and motivated to do activities in class. This talk focuses on ways to inspire students to practice English independently and offers suggestions for doing out-of-class practice with songs, games, and videos.

In this talk I will answer these and more questions while giving examples of successful outcomes from clearly focused feedback. The Science of Mindfulness and Wellbeing / Shannon Griffin Envision your learners attentive and engaged within the first five minutes of each class. Imagine that those same five minutes are the gateway to your students discovering how they learn best, and then harnessing those tools to enhance their progress. Allow me to introduce you to the Science of Mindfulness and Wellbeing. AI in EdTech &#8211; a Painfully Rapid &#8216;Parallel&#8217; Learning Curve / Tim Lorkin It has been both amusing and scary to see the parallel learning curve to address the challenges of AI applied to all: Suppliers, Students, and Institutions themselves &#8211; viewed from the inside.
