Are we live? We are live! Welcome everybody to week three of the
MOOC on EMI, and I'm afraid I have lost Mary. Mary is suffering at home so I hope she gets better she's
lost her voice and yeah I think she has laryngitis so yes
get well soon Mary! I think her plan is to join us in the chat if you're joining
us live so welcome if you are and she's given me some messages to share with you
all Mary's happy list of course of people
who've done very well on the course and have made her happy so I'll
go through those in a moment but yes particularly
she says well done so a warm Mary thank you to
Sandra, Shazia, Azma and Patrick and plus many more but she would like to say
well done to you especially and yet that's the tradition of our course every
week she has her list of people who've done very well so thank you to those of
you who've been involved. From me I'd say it's wonderful to see people are still
involved in conversations in week one and week two we have new people joining
the course and it's great to see a lot of interaction happening between people
and again we're getting deeper into a lot of the conversations that we started
having and I know not many people have time who are academics using
English for your teaching but if you do have time then do please check
back because again it's good - as we go through to look back on what we did
at the beginning and maybe see how the conversations have evolved, check if
anybody has commented on your posts before or started any interesting conversations
that would be wonderful yes some messages from Mary she says
welcome to Olga and she's very happy to see Olga doing the course for the
second time, and yes we'd really like to emphasize to people again the content
that we give you is a small part of what we're trying to
achieve bringing people together getting people involved in conversations that's
the biggest part of the learning experience so if you
see a future running of this course and you don't have to watch through all the
videos but it's great if you can come in and have a conversation with new people
who are coming in and Olga I hope it's not too boring or repetitive for you I'm
sure it's not because you're an interesting person also Eugenia Mary
sends her love and welcome to Tomsk Polytechnic University so they've been
involved with us in the past we've worked with them very closely and she
wants you to update us with everything you're doing, keep in touch and keep the connection
going and she's very happy to see you on the MOOC and all your colleagues as well
yes so I'm going to keep a look...oh, Mary is here, so hello Mary I'm seeing a
comment from Mary so yes sending her love from home while I do
the hard work and I was losing my voice today as well, so I apologize you
might have two ill MOOC tutors who are unable to lead this session but
if I lose my voice, comment under the video what do you do in a
situation where you have completely lost your voices and can't teach but
hopefully that won't happen so some questions we have and hello Ben Chacon
as well nice to see you. So some questions we have Azma asks
how can I persuade colleagues to switch to EMI? Is there a roadmap for this? and
Mary sent me her answer to say essentially Mary says and I would agree
no there isn't a roadmap to sort of persuading people to do EMI
it's a very complex area and again as we've seen in some of the responses for
me it seems like some people are teaching through English in some
contexts that are much more suited to teaching through English than other
people some people are more confident than others,
some people again just basically there are lots of considerations why an
institution might want to teach through English, why an individual might want to
teach English or why a learner might choose English over their first language
so there's no one answer to provide at all in that area but Mary does suggest
suggest that you involve yourself in policy discussions at your university
and meetings if there's an opportunity to do that and also practice meetings
and keeping the idea of good practice and what people do
keeping that available or being involved in those conversations with colleagues
and also keeping in touch with the community which I hope we've brought together here and on
Facebook and now on Twitter with the FL emi hashtag so any forum that you
can stay in touch with people ask questions like this and see how other
people have responded in different situations also we've got Vera's
question about the use of flipped classrooms asking if this is something
new or if this is something really people have been doing for many years
and the best way to answer that question is really to throw it back to you and
so if we can comment on that and say is this idea of the flipped
classroom, where the role of the teacher is changed to one of facilitator and the
role of a student as a passive student changing to one that can inform fellow
students or can lead learning activities is this really something new or is this
something people have experienced when they were a student and
experienced in teaching before this course, so it'd be wonderful to hear from other people rather than
hear our answers on that but yes I think certainly lots of new ideas as my
parents... my parents are both teachers and they always say to me that every new
idea has been done before even if I try and convince them that I have a new and
wonderful idea but no! They will reject it very quickly so lots of
comments we've had lots of comments about best practice, time management, eye
contact and gestures, so we've got Darwit, who says he's teaching with 80
different language and linguistic groups which obviously has huge effects on the
possibilities of how you use body language what will be effective what
will be ineffective what might be offensive what might be seen as too
direct, so pointing or something like that so yes I think perhaps Darwit is in
a good position to inform us how he manages that situation and I guess also
creating a dialogue making students aware of their need to inform other
people if something is not seen as appropriate to them so again keeping
that dialogue is important but Darwit if you have any suggestions then please we
would be happy to hear it one interesting conclusion that came out
of this is Rodrigo's who said EMI
emphasizes and requires sound pedagogical skills over linguistic ones
and that seems to be a common kind of idea well expressed by Roderigo and
again I guess how linguistic skills and pedagogical skills come together to
be effective that's what we're interested in and that's again that's
how you identify how you need to develop or what you want to develop about
yourself your communication your own practices that can help you to achieve
your pedagogical aims rather than being the other way round so my starting point
is I need general linguistic competence, then I can try to think about
teaching, again it's a good way to think about it as being your
role is to teach how do you do it effectively how do you do well where is
language coming into that picture so thank you for that Rodrigo one thing to
emphasize is the lecture, the bad example of a lecture, so Adam's lecture. Adam is a
colleague of ours who is a wonderful actor, that wasn't a real lecture so just to
say don't worry if you have been insulting Adam and saying his lecture was terrible
and unwatchable, he is a great actor and he'll be very very pleased
with your responses because that's what we asked him to do. So I loved Lilia's
comment and so did Mary, 'a bad example is a perfect teacher' and I like that, there
is a lot to learn from experience something that isn't done well you can
kind of see what what could be done much better so thank you for that. Regarding
the lecture slides, we'd just like to say I'm sorry
where some of you have tried to follow links, I think it's maybe something to do
with different countries or perhaps different web browsers people can't
follow the links exactly but thank you for those of you, lots of people have put
in a lot of work this week and last week as well, with the example of a
good lecture or a good speaker those activities have been really
valuable and thank you for the effort that you've put into those because I
know lots of people have spent a long time watching other people's videos, looking at other people's slides, so
thank you very much for doing that and yes we've had some great responses
in there so if you haven't done it yet please go back and and see what other
people have done and if you can't follow a link then apologies but these things
happen when you are online. A question from the Natalia: how do you make
lectures more interactive? This was another question we thought okay a wide
area we can open it up to you so we would encourage you under this video or
in the lecture step to perhaps have a look at how people or how you could do
this again my suggestion would be to have or to limit the content that you're
giving students to typically about sort of 10 minutes to 20 minutes and then
having an activity or a discussion or an engagement or a task
that can break up their concentration because concentrating on a talk is
difficult in your first language it's even more, you know, the cognitive load is
even more when it's in a second language so we want to limit the amount
of pressure on people's thinking time basically so I'm just
going to check the computer and see if anyone has commented and they have so
thank you Mary sends her love from home we are all losing our voices yes we are
Thank you for your comments, so you've
got a research focus and a teaching focus and you're asking are your contents
based on or derived from a research project? So in some way, this is true, I
did my PhD study on EMI and we in the Center for Global Englishes at the
University of Southampton, we do lots of research in the area of English as a
medium of instruction but this is coming out from
also our experiences working with colleagues like Tomsk Polytechnic
University and colleagues around the world learning about their context
learning about what works and doesn't work for different people at different
times so I don't think it's something you could research in a project you know
EMI is such a large area as we are seeing and we see we see the MOOC as a
as a fantastic forum because what EMI is to you might be different from someone
else so I went to five universities in East Asia and Southeast
Asia but again that's a very... even in the same country another university
might be using English in a very different way so it is based on
research but it's in a limited way, let's put it that way I'm
trying to avoid my idioms as normal, okay
some other points, so Deena makes a point that's quite common we're going to
look at culture next week or intercultural communication and language
but Deena makes an interesting point here that teachers in her culture she
says are often seen as serious and unemotional and she puts this down to
like the history and the expectation of how people behave rather than actually
their nature is to be unfriendly to students and this can
cause a problem and I have lots of colleagues who have a similar idea when
you are serious when you laugh when you smile and it's yeah it's very cultural
and I'd encourage lots of comments next week because this is a
very interesting area where the teacher also has to make a decision do you
change your behavior or do you encourage students to appreciate the way you
behave and why you behave that way and again do you build expectations or
do you just try to adapt and probably I would encourage negotiation and say it
it's normally somewhere between those two another area or an
important point that I wanted to say is please speak to Javeria
so Javeria, I think he posted something quite sad yes so he said,
said yeah please somebody talk to me I want to discuss this is anyone
discussing this with me but I think these comments get buried under other
comments so now we're in week 3 we know each other well so I'd encourage you to
talk to Javeria and talk to other people, again if you have a comment, maybe put
your comment as a reply to other people and see if we can get some more
conversations and some more interesting discussions going because I mean it's
wonderful people have been contributing wonderfully yes but some people are
feeling lonely or feeling like they're not being engaged with so please
do have a discussion. He seems like an interesting person
so please do have a discussion there. So we've got an apology, it
seems that the technology or the interface isn't working very well at the
moment so we I think we've lost the chat function so I apologize for that but yes
please return to the video and add your comments at the end so okay I'm getting
a thumbs up that is correct okay so essentially key messages thank you
very much for all your hard work and for getting involved in the conversations
and we're really grateful in case again you bring the content to the discussion
and yes Bansha Khan has mentioned doing research in this area, if
any of you are doing research so some of you might be for example teaching
English supporting tutors some of you might be doing research some of you
might be leading programs again it would be wonderful to hear in the comments
what it is you're doing and again if we can be of any help in any specific areas
then please let us know and we will try even if we can't be very helpful, but we'll do our best so
yes thank you very much for your continued involvement please keep
posting please keep asking and remember that the Facebook group is there the
Twitter feed is there and and yes sorry Mary has come back now okay Mary's
having some kind of problem but anyway thank you very much for your time and
hope next week is the live session so please keep an eye open for that so
we're going to have a longer discussion where people can post questions and
comments and we will try to bring the whole course together so please try and
be there for that and we will make sure the technology is working perfectly we
will try to anyway so thank you very much for your time and I will see you
next week and see you in the course okay thank you bye bye and get well Mary
