Then participants will share course and disciplinary learning goals and outcomes for student writers and develop strategies for using low- and high-stakes writing tasks to help students achieve these outcomes. The workshop will conclude with discussions of strategies for responding effectively and efficiently to both informal and formal student writing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio:<\/strong> Emerita professor Terry Myers Zawacki\u00a0directed the Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) program and the University Writing Center at George Mason University where she also co-led the university writing assessment efforts.

Writing | English instructors often work with other peoples\u2019 students&#8211;students outside of their own field. How might these instructors assist these students in their journeys to become more effective with discipline-specific writing | English? In response to this challenge, The English Language Support Office (ELSO) at Cornell University, U.S., which provides support to international graduate and professional students across the university has developed the co-inquiry approach to pedagogy (Cox, Lindberg, &amp; Myers, 2021 forthcoming). In this workshop, Dr. Michelle Cox will introduce this approach and explore, with participants, ways in which it may be adapted for their contexts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio:<\/strong> Michelle Cox, Ph.D., directs the <a class=\"text-danger\" href=\"https:\/\/knight.as.cornell.edu\/elso\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">English Language Support Office<\/a>, a writing and speaking support program for multilingual and international graduate and professional students at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York.

Exploration of how task design in terms of content and type is connected to sequencing learning is critical for deeper learning.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bio:<\/strong> Do is an international expert in the field of CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) after having spent her career both as a languages teacher (French, Russian and English) in a wide range of schools in the UK and France, and as an academic, working and researching ways of improving learner experiences in classrooms where other languages are used as the medium of learning. As an early pioneer of the CLIL movement in Europe, working with bilingual teachers, she developed the CLIL 4Cs Framework and the Language Triptych which has now been adopted and adapted globally for guiding and planning pedagogic approaches for bilingual learning and CLIL classrooms. Do has gained worldwide acclaim through her drive to enable teachers and their learners to have confidence in developing conditions for deeper learning and especially in ensuring that learning is spatially designed, cognitively challenging \u2013 built on linguistic progression \u2013 and is interculturally connected. At the University of Aberdeen (2008-2017), where she held a 6th Century Chair in Learning Innovation and was Dean of the School of Education and Music (2012-2016), her work as a founder member of the Graz Group involved a transnational research team, funded by the ECML. The Graz Group is currently developing a PluriLiteracies approach to Teaching for Deeper Learning (PTDL) and is constantly exploring ways of achieving sustainable deeper learning across languages and contexts.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout her career, Do has also focused on \u2018shared learning\u2019 and technology-enabled spaces which enable all learners to connect with other learning sites \u2013 from the very local to the very global. She was co-lead for the Visual Learning Lab (University of Nottingham) and led a team building the technology-enabled professional learning (TePL) network in Aberdeen. She has a keen interest in developing spatial awareness in pre-service teachers and the need to evidence how space ( inside, outside and across physical boundaries) impacts on learner attainment, achievement and sense of self-worth. Her current post at the University of Edinburgh (2017-) as Professor in Languages Education and Classroom Pedagogies returns to focus on educational linguistics, language education and technology-enabled shared learning \u2013 where her heart lies. Working in a collaborative team across all Scottish universities, which successfully developed the National Framework for Languages (ITE), Do\u2019s work focuses on developing Language Education in MHSES and pedagogic approaches to support bilingual education in different forms whilst promoting pluriliteracies skills for all learners. She also aspires to develop the network and a distinctive research profile for the Shared Learning Spaces Lab to encourage more teachers to rethink \u2018space\u2019 for shared learning and its impact on their learners. She is currently Director of the Language Education Research Hub at Moray House.<\/p>\n<p>A simple tenet drives her work: educators, practitioners and learners are experts \u2013 they are the researchers who need to \u2018own\u2019 their practices, be digitally connected and collaboratively build shared learning spaces (SLS) for optimum conditions for deep learning. Above all, she believes that language is our greatest learning (and teaching!) tool.<\/p>\n<p>She became a Chevalier dans l\u2019Ordre des Palmes Acad\u00e9miques (1998) awarded by the French Government for services to education promoting European Teacher Education and holds a Lord Dearing Award for Excellence in Teaching in Higher Education(2002).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Post-conference workshops (22 May 2021, Saturday) &nbsp; 09:00-11:00 HK time Register Professor Terry Myers Zawacki, Professor Martha Townsend and Professor Mike Palmquist Title: Advice and Strategies for Using Writing to Learn to Write and Think in the Disciplines Blurb: In this three-part synchronous workshop, participants will first be introduced to theory and pedagogy for using <a href=\"https:\/\/elc.polyu.edu.hk\/conference\/EAC2021\/post-conference-workshops\/\" class=\"more-link\">&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elc.polyu.edu.hk\/conference\/EAC2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1284"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elc.polyu.edu.hk\/conference\/EAC2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elc.polyu.edu.hk\/conference\/EAC2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elc.polyu.edu.hk\/conference\/EAC2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elc.polyu.edu.hk\/conference\/EAC2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1284"}],"version-history":[{"count":61,"href":"https:\/\/elc.polyu.edu.hk\/conference\/EAC2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1284\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1676,"href":"https:\/\/elc.polyu.edu.hk\/conference\/EAC2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1284\/revisions\/1676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elc.polyu.edu.hk\/conference\/EAC2021\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
