How well does your brain cope with more than one language?

When bilingual or multilingual people speak, all the languages they know are activated.

But occasionally the words, grammar and even accents can get mixed up.

The science behind why this happens has revealed surprising insights into how our brains work.

🇪🇸 Jornada formativa para el profesorado de ELE en Reino Unido 🇪🇸

Format: Online teacher-training event
Date: 25th April 2023
Time: 16:30 UK time
Speaker: Álvaro Espada Benito

Editorial enClave ELE - in collaboration with the (Spanish Embassy Education Office) - are proud to offer ELE teachers the chance to attend their exciting ONLINE presentation, entitled:
'Aprender a cuestionar: textos y contextos Geniales para desarrollar la competencia crítica en el aula de ELE'

🇪🇸 En este taller analizaremos algunos aspectos importantes a la hora de desarrollar la competencia crítica en el aula de ELE. Sabemos que un proceso afectivo (y, por ende, efectivo) de enseñanza-aprendizaje en una lengua adicional es indispensable para el correcto desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa. 🇪🇸

🇪🇸 De modo que reflexionaremos acerca de dinámicas, proyectos y actividades de debate basadas en los nuevos enfoques que buscan el protagonismo en el alumnado como elemento central del aula, dejando atrás la clásica consideración del aprendiente como un mero espectador pasivo. Yendo un paso más allá, debatiremos sobre la transición del aprendiente acrítico al crítico, que cuestiona y contrasta el input recibido en el aula y fuera de ella. 🇪🇸

Miteinander lernen. Motivierend und bewegend.
Wir widmen uns den zentralen Faktoren, die sich merklich auf die Motivation zum Lernen auswirken wie soziale Eingebundenheit, Kompetenzerleben und Autonomie.
Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt die Selbst­bestimmungs­theorie von Edward Deci und Richard Ryan. Aktuelle lern­theoretische Forschungen zeigen außerdem, dass auch Bewegung eine große Bedeutung für ein effektives und tiefes Lernen hat.
Alle unsere Workshops und Vorträge greifen diese wissen­schaftlichen Erkenntnisse praxisnah und fundiert auf und geben spannende Impulse für Ihren Unterricht mit Kindern und Jugendlichen.
Freuen Sie sich auf die Keynote von PD. Dr. Marion Grein Eine fremde Sprache lernen? Da braucht es Motivation! sowie auf unsere Podiumsdiskussion zum Thema Warum soll ich Deutsch lernen?

Título: ¿Pero qué se tenemos aquí? Todos juntos, pero no revueltos

La dificultad que entraña para el profesorado de ELE la explicación de los diferentes tipos de se es una cuestión gramatical presente y fragmentada en los manuales de los diferentes niveles de español. En cambio, ¿qué ocurre cuando impartimos clase para estudiantes de nivel C2 donde ya no se puede ofrecer una visión fragmentaria del mismo? ¿Sabemos cómo explicar la diferencia entre el pronombre se reflexivo, se recíproco, se causativo, se dativo ético frente al se impersonal o el se con valor pasivo?
En este taller vamos a reflexionar sobre los diferentes tipos de se en español y, de una manera práctica y colaborativa.
