Title of presentation: Literature: Macbeth: a good deal in English Language Lessons 


Summary of
presentation: Literary texts stimulate the students to develop their critic point of
view at the same time they develop their learning abilities. It happens because
Literature represents the real and the writer’s words can be truly interpreted.
In this way, this panel intends to show some different ways to teachers use to
involve their students in English Language learning through Shakespeare’s play,
Macbeth.

&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Prof. Sara Walker- British Council


With the World Cup and the Olympics coming to Brazil soon, tourism will increase
and the chances of our students having a real life opportunity to speak English
are improving.&nbsp; In this session, we will
look at some simple speaking activities to encourage students [and perhaps some
teachers] to overcome their inhibitions and start to speak English.

Title of presentation: Comics as reading in
English language – a strategic way to form the competent reader!


Summary of
presentation: This paper intends to discuss about reading theories in the educational
context. The research is in applied linguistics field. Our concepts are based
in Bakhtin ideas about gender texts. Our initial hypothesis is comics readings
can be a good strategically way to contribute for a competent reading in
English Language, so we develop a workshop with students from elementary school
with reading strategies of comics and it was satisfactory activity with
comprehension of texts.&nbsp;

Title of presentation: Representations
about English Language Teaching Built by Teachers from Public Schools of Porto
Nacional and Region


Summary of presentation : In this communication we intend to present some results of
our research :O Desenvolvimento da Autonomia do Professor e do Aluno no
Processo de&nbsp; Ensino-Aprendizagem de
Língua Inglesa em
 Escolas Públicas de Porto Nacional, Tocantins. One of thegoals of the research is to accomplish a survey in the public
schools of&nbsp; Porto Nacional and region, in
order to identify which representations&nbsp;
are built by teachers regarding the English Language Teaching-learning,
and based on the results propose activities of understanding the importance of
learning a foreign language, looking for possible ways for the students to
produce their own knowledge, surpassing the limits of the school walls, in view
of their autonomy.


Until now, we have given some
questionnaires to the teachers. They were supposed to answer questions about
their practice so that we could analyze how they see the
English Language Teaching what their beliefs are, what teaching methods they
use in their classes. By reading the answers to the questionnaires we noticed
repeated textual configurations, similar points of view and similar methods of
teaching.

Natália Cristina de Oliveira – Graduandos&nbsp;
em Letras e Monitores do CECCLA – UFT – Profª Daniella Corciolli


Title of presentation: Some
helpful ways to improve the teaching and learning of English as a foreign
language


Summary of
presentation: This workshop aims at showing and
helping teachers to develop different techniques to teach English as a foreign
language. As students of Language Arts at Federal University of Tocantins and,
at the same time, English teachers at CECLLA, we have been led to the
reflection about our classes and to the way we deal with our students and their
learning of English language. The project - CECLLA (Centro de Estudos Continuados em Letras, Linguística e Artes)
- has given us the opportunity to improve our English learning and
teaching abilities. Therefore, we intend to share our experiences with other
teachers of English, helping them with some information and ideas to be applied
in their classrooms. Based on our lessons at CECLLA and on our own reflections
about different language teaching approaches and methods, we have chosen some activities
such as the use of ‘authentic’ language, realia, games, question-and-answer
drills and role-plays (Larsen-Freeman, 2010) to make it easier to teachers
working with the target language.

Workshop 2 – Everton
Francisco da Silva – CECCLA – UFT – Porto Nacional


Title of presentation: The Uses of
Affixes: Prefixes and Suffixes in English Language


Summary of
presentation: This workshop aims at showing to
elementary students of English language some clues about dealing with different
and new English words. It also aims at teaching them some easy ways to find out
the meaning of several words without the massive use of dictionaries. As we
know that the learning about the uses of different affixes - prefixes and
suffixes - can help elementary students in the difficult task of translating or
understanding English texts in the beginning of their learning, it is our
objective selecting and increasing students consciousness about some prefixes
and suffixes, that they commonly use without paying much attention to their
correct application, when learning English. In this workshop we intend to
develop the following steps: firstly we are going to select the most used
affixes. Secondly we are going to divide some words into categories to
demonstrate the ways a word turns into a verb, a noun or an adjective through
the use of affixes, reaching the point where students will realize how easy the
learning of English becomes when we apply some techniques smartly.

SATURDAY MORNING


&nbsp;


08:30 - 10:00 – PLENARY SESSION 


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Teaching
of Speaking and Listening Skills: Can you do that?


&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ana&nbsp; Emília Fajardo Turbin- UFT Porto Nacional 


&nbsp;


The
plenary talk will focus on the importance of speaking and listening skills in
the process of teaching the English language. It is very common to talk to
people who want to study English and they make it clear they want to have
conversations in the Foreign language. Even teachers from state and
municipal&nbsp; schools,&nbsp; when asked why they want to study English, answer
that&nbsp; the reason is to speak better
English. It seems&nbsp; that the spoken
discourse when the teacher is talking to their students needs to be enhanced,
and this should be a continued process for English teachers. It is important
for the teachers to learn techniques that make the class meaningful and
enjoyable for the students to develop their speaking and listening skills. The plenary will focus on a few
techniques&nbsp; in order to&nbsp; accomplish the objective of making teachers
and students talk more in the English classes.


&nbsp;


10:00 – 11:30- WORKSHOPS


Workshop 1- Daniella Corciolli - UFT Porto Nacional –TO 


Title of
presentation: The post method era: developing the
teacher’s sense of plausibility through the practice of reflection.


Summary
of presentation: This workshop aims at leading
English language teachers to know and think about different conceptions
concerning the most important methods and approaches used in language teaching
contexts. Based on the work of Prabhu (1990), we are going to promote teachers’
reflections about the roles and goals of different methods and about their own
roles as teachers, building or raising a sense of involvement that will lead
them to feel more conscious, responsible and autonomous about their work.
According to Rocha (2008), teachers need to develop and operate their work
considering their own understanding of what is adequate and possible to their
students, school or community. As we know, being able to formulate or choose a
set of practices that best match students’ needs is not easy without a deep
knowledge of cultural, social and contextual factors. Such as important as
favoring teachers’ development of personal conceptualization about their
teaching, it is crucial to make them reflect about what different approaches
and methods can offer or contribute to their work and, of course, about the
role of reflection itself.

Title of presentation: Are you a green

Summary of

responsibility as citizens of the world. This workshop aims to present some
practical and easy activities to be used in the classroom.
