1435-1505 – Yukari Kimura: I have been teaching mixed-level English classes at university and searching for fun vocabulary learning activities that meet the needs of beginner learners who struggle to memorize vocabulary and intermediate learners who hope to increase their active vocabulary in speaking. Among successful activities during my teaching experience of 15 years, I would like to share the most popular one, “Keyword Game.” I have tried it with a wide range of age groups, from elementary school to university students and a typical feedback has been, “I was able to memorize English words in a fun way!” I look forward to hearing your suggestions to make it more engaging for students. I would love to see our students having fun with friends and learning vocabulary simultaneously.
1510-1540 – Maria Wilma Capati: In this presentation, I intend to suggest ideas to EFL teachers on ensuring a safe space for everyone in a classroom while ensuring inclusivity among neurodiverse students. My experiences as a neurodivergent myself has motivated me to create a classroom that will give students a positive attitude toward English learning. Although my main focus will be Japanese university students who are non-English majors, I will also share my previous experiences with learners of diverse ages and English levels. By the end of the presentation, I aim to inspire both neurodiverse and neurotypical teachers to view neurodiversity as an opportunity to create a positive atmosphere inside the English classroom.
1545-1615 – Shabna: My presentation explores the connection between ESL teaching styles and AI technology. It involves an interactive quiz that helps educators discover their unique teaching styles in ESL and how they can integrate AI tools. It's a thought-provoking activity that encourages reflection and sparks discussions about the potential of AI in the classroom.
