ABSTRACTS
Session I - Thursday - February 4th- 2010
What future LANGUAGE TEACHER TRAINERS should KNOW
13.30–14.00
Greetings of the Rector of the Università per Stranieri di Siena,
Prof. Massimo Vedovelli
Introduction: Prof. Pierangela Diadori
Presentation of the volume: Diadori P. (cur.), Formazione, qualità
certificazione per la didattica delle lingue moderne in Europa / TQAC in FLT. Training,
Quality and Certification in Foreign Language Teaching, Firenze, Le Monnier, 2010
14.00-14,30
European policy for multilingualism, Dr. Fiorella PEROTTO,
European Commission
The presentation will describe the current context and key features of the Multilingualism
strategy of the European Union and its implementation instruments. It will highlight the
strategy's implications for education and training but also its potential impacts in a broader
socio-economic context. Finally, it will provide an overview of the new EU policy initiatives for
multilingualism and outline future perspectives.
14.30–15.45
European documents and their implications for language
teacher trainers: PROFILE and EPOSTL (lecture, projectbased group work, discussion, production of documents), Prof.
Hanna Komorowska
The session will include a presentation of the European Profile of the Language Teacher as a
tool which can help to assess the type of initial education the teacher had received and a
presentation of the European Portfolio for Student Teachers of Languages as a tool for selfreflection and development supported by the mentor or the teacher educator. Practical ways
of approaching teacher development with the use of both documents will be discussed
together with techniques of addressing a variety of teaching situations.
A special emphasis will be given to the question of how to help teachers satisfy individual
needs of learners in a variety of sociocultural contexts.
15.45–17.00
European documents and their implications for language
teacher trainers: QUALITRAINING (lecture, project-based
group work, discussion, production of documents), Prof. Laura
Muresan
We will start by examining quality-related principles, in order to explore how they can be
applied to language education. Building on the QualiTraining-approach, the discussion of keycomponents - such as quality culture, systems and processes - will be combined with reflective
tasks and small group activities. To illustrate the inter-relatedness between quality assurance
and teacher training/mentoring, reference will be made to the latest documents developed by
EAQUALS - The European Association for Quality Language Services. After analysing relevant
case studies from the QualiTraining Guide, the participants will be invited to identify areas of
particular interest in their own educational context and to design case studies of their own.
17.30 - 19.00
TrainEd-Training Educators Project - Teaching and
training/facilitating (lecture, project -based group work,
discussion, production of documents), Prof. Mercè Bernaus
In this fist presentation of TrainEd-Training Educators Project we will discuss about the
differences between teaching and training/facilitating. Mercè Bernaus will present the
characteristics of a trainer as facilitator. We will discuss in small groups the differences
between a lecturer and a facilitator, followed by a group discussion on trainer/facilitator
competencies that will be rounded up by a personal self- test on personal competencies for
training.
19.00-19.30
Conclusion: Chair: Prof. Pierangela Diadori, Dr. Stefania Semplici
Session II Friday - February 5th- 2010
What future LANGUAGE TEACHER TRAINERS
should be able to DO
9.00-10.30
Training course design and assessment (lecture, project based group work, discussion, production of documents): Prof.
Mercedes Bernaus
This second part of TrainEd-Training Educators Project will be devoted to Principles of
Training Design. We will discuss on successful training activities and in small groups we
will make an inventory of training activities which may challenge and exceed trainees’
expectations. We will also discuss on ways and purposes of evaluating training events
and, finally, in small groups we will plan a training event.
11.00-13.00
Typical methodological errors to avoid, classroom
behaviour of successful trainers and multiple roles of class
observation (discussion, project-based group work, production
of documents): Prof. Laura Muresan, Prof. Hanna Komorowska
The session will concentrate on most common methodological errors committed by
teachers across cultures and educational contexts. We will look at ways of identifying
errors hindering the learning process and analyze various ways of avoiding them
through practical tips for successful teaching in typical and in difficult situations.
A video exemplification of an English class will offer us the opportunity of being
observers, reflective teachers, trainers and mentors, maybe remembering also the
times when we ourselves were learners of a new language. We will be involved in a
holistic experience of sharing and peer-learning, while becoming aware of the multiple
roles and benefits of class observation.
A variety of forms of work will be used, i.e. lecture, discussion, pair work and group
work.
13.00-13.30
