16:00 ~ 17:00 | Pronunciation: the highway to successful communication By Rogelio Espadas Conferencia
Roger Espadas holds a B.A. in English Language Teaching by Ceneval, México. For seven years, he taught at The Anglo and Tec de Monterrey where he was founder of CEDDIE for innovative education. He has lectured on eLearning and Gamification for both institutions. Roger is currently working at Empreser ELT as Academic Consultant.
Acquiring and developing strong pronunciation skills is one of the most daunting tasks for learners of English. Although maintaining an accent is a cultural trait of a student’s personal background, the ability of producing native-like sounds turns out to be an effective vehicle of motivation for students. Moreover, not working on doing so may hinder fluent communication, which is in fact the ultimate goal when one decides to learn a different language. Nevertheless, teaching pronunciation is not easy. We as teachers tend to over-rely on technical terms and academic jargon that makes little contribution to students’ language acquisition. For that reason, during this workshop, you will learn a series of techniques that will help you and your students develop pronunciation skills from a proprioceptive approach which promotes physical awareness of one’s movements and organs. By applying this techniques in your classroom, students will work in a lively way, internalizing new movements of their mouths during the course of a lesson that resembles more the training for a game rather than a lesson to be learned.

Listen, repeat and play lottery in order to learn some different individual sounds

Almost all of the second language teachers plan and organize their classroom activities in the practice of grammar, vocabulary, speaking in dialogues or describing pictures, and some try to get students competent in reading and listening. But very few, give importance to teaching pronunciation, probably because they think they have many things to do, or they think it is not so important for their students, or in many cases they don´t know how to do it.
Teaching pronunciation is guiding students to learn and understand that words and sentences are made up of sounds (or phonemes) which, are quite different from their own language, and on their own, may not carry meaning, but which, in combination, make words and phrases.
From the experience I have, I have noticed that almost all of the students have listening problems, and one reason is because they expect to listen to the words and phrases pronounced in the way they suppose is the pronunciation, but they have had a very poor training on this topic.
Due to their poor knowledge of the different combination of sounds, I consider that it would be very useful and fun for them to take this workshop, in which they would listen, repeat and play lottery in order to learn some different individual sounds.

What is negotiation?
It is a social process of human beings, which has by objective to influence positively in others and their process of decision either to persuade (cause someone to do something), convince (have someone do something) or dissuade (persuade someone not to take a particular course of action).
During this workshop, we will encourage and show students how to develop their negotiation skills as well as to identify the types of negotiators, using their personal gestures as a tool to identify the signs and the meanings of them at a negotiation table in order to use them in their own benefit to create an advantage in the process of “Negotiation in Business”, and in their daily lives.

English learning is sometimes seen as an obligation, more than an opportunity to accomplish many goals in one’s life. How many of you complain about English classes being boring? Or How many of you study English because you need to, and because it is a requirement in order to get your diploma, and not because you want to study it? What about other languages?
Language learning should not be considered boring or something you “have to” do. Language learning should be fun and exciting, interesting and challenging for everybody who has the opportunity to study.
In this presentation, we will find an insight of some students’ opinions related to their English classes, and some encouragement and motivational techniques to help them see their learning experience in a more exciting and interesting way.

Habits to be a transcendent student: from a former student
She has a Bachelor´s Degree in Communication Sciences with a Minor in Mass Media. Certified in the domain and didactics of English language with the next certifications:

Constant preparation is one of the most important elements in order to be a transcendent student, nevertheless, it is also necessary to develop interpersonal and intrapersonal skills. In this aspect students’ attitude and their availability to form habits and discipline is of great importance. Besides knowing and having different practices beyond studying, they need to encourage the development of interpersonal skills such as: leadership, teamwork, communication, among others.
This is a 100% motivational conference, with a dynamic approach and a strong emphasis on the enforcement of practical solutions.
It is about teaching students the main habits that can make them outstanding and transcendent students and professionals.
To make them understand why is it that the “Principle of least effort” can only provide temporary results, while the enforcement of principles provides enduring results.
To identify the patterns of conduct that prevent them from being an efficient student.
To provide them with practical tools to apply in their daily acting as students such as: Comprehension not memorization, constant discipline, self motivation, practical ethics, research and resolution, to share and teach for reinforcement.
