TESOL-Drama
began
looking at process drama in the 2010 workshop. This year, we will
approach process drama from the more practical perspective of process
drama activities and conventions, and then move to the discussion of
how these may be utilized within different contexts.
The
workshop
will thoroughly examine the techniques and strategies used in
forming a process drama, explaining what they are and how they may be
implemented, in what contexts they might be used, and through what
roles the emerging drama might best be expressed. We will call
upon workshop participants to contribute examples of techniques and
strategies that they have found successful and the contexts to which
they were applied.
Finally,
we
will solicit examples of lesson plans that illustrate the use of the
strategies in an ongoing fashion and how they were, or could be,
utilized to fashion a complete process drama.

How
can
adding stories to your in-class and online activities raise student
interest? How can you help learners develop 21st century multiliteracy
skills through active learning enhanced by those stories?
In
this
five-week online workshop offered through the Electronic
Village
Online, participants will be introduced to various online
tools and will learn how to effectively incorporate these resources
into their teaching practices. They will explore how images, music,
slideshows and web tools can be used in educational settings for
storytelling. By the end of the workshop, participants will have
the chance to develop a digital storytelling plan to promote students'
creativity, engagement and learning through the incorporation of
digital production into their lesson plans. |

In
recent
years there has been a new array of learning management systems
(LMS). Tools such as blogs, wikis, podcasts and social bookmarking have
created a significant shift in the educational experience. Personal
Learning Environments (PLEs) enable learners to have greater control
over their own learning experience. This session will take a look at
the current situation by clarifying the concepts of personal learning
environments and networks (PLNs). Participants will learn by
doing, creating their own Personal Learning Environment and adding
tools relevant to their individual needs as the 5-week session evolves.

Multiliterate
individuals
are
aware of the pitfalls inherent in technology while
striving for empowerment through effective strategies for first
discerning and then taking advantage of those aspects of changing
technologies most appropriate to their situations. These strategies
include managing, processing, and interpreting a constant influx of
information, filtering what is useful, and then enhancing the learning
environment with the most appropriate applications. This course seeks
to heighten awareness of these considerations, and to enable
participants to explore ways of dealing with them in professional and
interpersonal development as well as work with students. |

This
series
of sessions on mentoring skills such as coaching,
counseling, consulting, and peer dialoguing is intended for those
teachers of English as an Additional Language (in countries of native
English speakers and in non English speaking environments)
interested in mentoring new or struggling ESOL teachers. Through
discussion, case studies, and role play we will share our ideas and
hone our skills. Guest experts will guide discussion as we identify and
share our own mentoring strengths and possibilities. Towards the end of
the series, we will begin work on creating an ongoing TESOL
mentor-support community, encouraging others to join us in this
important aspect of all teachers' lives.
