Comprehensible Input Professional Learning Opportunity for Language Teachers

CI Down Under is delighted to host three world-known CI (Comprehensible Input) teachers from North & South America. They are Annabelle Williamson (La maestra loca) , Adriana Ramirez and Diane Neubauer.

This conference will follow the Agen Workshop (https://theagenworkshop.com/) model allowing participants to observe language labs in the mornings and attend language teaching workshops each afternoon.

Through attending this conference, participants will have opportunities to:

· Choose to observe one of three language labs each day where Annabelle Williamson (La maestra loca) , Adriana Ramirez and Diane Neubauer will teach either Spanish or Chinese in a classroom context. Each language lab will have a teacher working with  primary, secondary or adult learners, demonstrating the CI method with their class. On completion of each day's language lab, there will be a debrief  led by an Australian CI teacher for participants to comment or ask questions.

· Learn from Australian and international expert CI practitioners at the afternoon workshops. The workshop presentations will cover a wide range of CI topics relevant to all Australian teaching contexts.

· Participate in daily coaching sessions to work on specific CI skills with Teri Wiechart, an internationally accredited CI coach.

· Network and share professional practices with other language teachers from all over Australia.

The conference is scheduled for 15th to 19th January 2024 at McArthur Anglican School in Cobbitty, NSW.

Through attending the conference, participants will develop their understanding of comprehension-based language teaching (CI/TPRS) and observe the significant impact it has on both student engagement and teacher well-being.
