Esther Vázquez, our Assistant Publisher Liaison Officer, would like to invite you all to her new webinar:⠀
⠀
"How to motivate learners to learn the language combining cognition and emotion: a brain-based approach" ⠀
⠀
In recent years, experts have shared fascinating insights about how the brain learns best and how long-lasting learning can be fostered. How can we take advantage of this knowledge and transform it into tasks and activities that enable our students to improve their communicative competence in English? ⠀
The aim of this session is to share some current findings from the field of educational neuroscience while addressing some fun tasks and activities that stimulate language ⠀
learning and enhance academic performance in every student. ⠀

Annie Altamirano .teachertrainer , External Liaison Officer, Gerard Mcloughlin Vice-President, and Anne Haggerson , AC for Galicia, attended the
37th APPI Annual Conference: “The Future of Education: EFL challenges”❤️⠀
⠀
The choice of topic for the APPI major event was decided at last year’s Conference and was ⠀
suggested by many of the attendees through their feedback forms. The reflections of these participants, ⠀
along with the speakers’ sessions, confirmed common concerns: What will be the Future of Education and ⠀
the Future of EFL teachers? What challenges will English Language teachers face in their profession? How ⠀
can we address these challenges? And what exactly are they? Are we prepared for a demanding future that ⠀
is already upon us? ⠀
The programme focused on topics that contributed to enlightening or prompting ⠀
reflection on the future of education, particularly the future of English as a Foreign Language, and our ⠀
practices as EFL teachers in a rapidly and evolving.⠀

Here are some beautiful memories❤️

Virtual Seminar for English Language Teachers: Humanizing AI for Learning and Assessment⠀

📅24th May ⠀
⠀
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been transforming education in many ways, a testament to its extraordinary power. With its seemingly limitless capabilities, it affects the way we learn, teach, and assess English language proficiency today. As educators, we have learned to embrace change. The AI revolution, however, can also be a source of doubt and concern. How can we ensure that AI truly contributes to improved teaching and learning? Does the use of AI put academic integrity at risk? Is it possible for assessments using AI capabilities to remain both reliable and fair?⠀
