TEENtelligence:
Integrating Social and Emotional Learning in the Teenage Classroom

As teenagers experience significant cognitive and social maturation, teaching practice and classroom activities need to address this moment. In this context, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) adds valuable insights to lesson planning and activity design. This mini-course explores SEL competencies such as social awareness and responsible decision-making and suggests practical ideas on how to support social-emotional development in teenage groups, aiming to create an environment conducive to learning.

Day 2
We will focus on the SEL skills of self-awareness, self-management and responsible decision-making. We will discuss how we can help our teenage learners make decisions and be more conscious of themselves and others.

The power of images: Visual Literacy and Representation

In today’s world, where meaning is increasingly built through audiovisual content, developing visual literacy is of paramount importance. This course invites you to explore the crucial skills needed to navigate and create in this visual landscape. Whether you are a materials writer or a teacher, you are likely working with images frequently, so come reflect on the deeper implications of this practice.

Day 2
We will focus on the art of image selection, considering the diversity of stories our students need to tell and ensuring that the images we choose reflect and respect this diversity.

Assessment - from theory to practice

This course will explore the theoretical foundations of assessment, including its purpose, types, and key principles. We will examine assessment practices for learners of different ages, analysing the importance of both formal and informal assessment methods. Participants will gain hands-on experience in developing assessment criteria and rubrics and learn how to implement alternative assessment strategies to promote authentic language use. By the end of the course, teachers will be able to select and apply appropriate assessment tools and techniques to measure student progress and inform instruction.

Day 2
We will discuss types of formal and informal assessment. We’ll also see different forms of alternative assessment. Participants will have the chance to apply the theoretical foundations to create an assessment task.
