RE-THINKING QUALITATIVE RESEARCH DATA THROUGH QUALITATIVE SECONDARY ANALYSIS
Keynote speaker: Kahryn Hughes (University of Leeds, UK)
“The ongoing revolution in the digital data landscape has given rise to a vast international network of research data repositories and infrastructures that present unparalleled opportunities for research data reuse. While there are well-established methods and approaches for the reuse of quantitative research data, debates on appropriate methods for reusing qualitative research data suggest this enterprise is far from straightforward. This complexity has driven a growing discussion on the distinctive affordances and defining challenges of qualitative secondary analysis (QSA), particularly questions concerning how researchers might return to research data at varying degrees of ‘remove’. Rather than viewing such concerns as the exclusive domain of discrete and specialist methodological fields, the arguments in this presentation proceed from viewing all qualitative research as having ‘secondary’, ‘longitudinal’, and ‘reuse’ components.” Watch the plenary conference here:

"PROFESSIONALISM IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING - SILVANA RICHARDSON"
"In many contexts English Language Teachers have been perceived historically as the ‘Cinderella’ of the teaching profession. In some cases they have been required to ‘top up’ their qualifications, as a result of education authorities making calls to ‘professionalise the sector’. This talk will explore the causes of such perceptions, what it means to be a professional teacher of English, and the fitness of purpose of international initial training qualifications for educating professional practitioners" (CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS ELT - Better Learning Conference, August 2016).

LINHA DE PESQUISA – PÓS-COLONIALISMO E ESTUDOS DA LINGUAGEM

A Profa. Dra. Silvia Cristina de Souza Hall, criadora da linha de pesquisa “Pós-Colonialismo e Estudos da Linguagem” no grupo de pesquisa CELEPI, convida os interessados a participarem do Grupo de Estudos Linguísticos em Inglês (GELIN).

“Evidenciando práticas comunicativas situadas no mundo globalizado atual que refletem o fluxo sem precedentes de pessoas, tecnologias, textos e recursos linguísticos, esse grupo de estudo, em seus encontros, propõe ressignificar a relação entre a educação de línguas e as reivindicações que a sociedade contemporânea apresenta (MOITA LOPES, 2006; PENNYCOOK, 2001; SIGNORINI; CAVALCANTI, 2004; RAMPTON, 2006; CANAGARAJAH, 2005; LUCENA, 2015). Sem descartar o estudo das estruturas da linguagem, as pesquisas da linha de pesquisa a qual este grupo está ligado, advogam que as pessoas são criativas em seus encontros linguísticos e que as línguas, sendo recursos móveis (CANAGARAJAH, 2013) que são, encontram seus lugares na prática social e sua forma muda de acordo com os usos que os falantes dão a elas.
Dessa forma, o GELIN busca trazer em seus encontros reflexões sobre o quanto a questão da colonialidade ainda está presente no ensino da língua inglesa de hoje em dia e como a ideia de modelo de falante nativo a ser imitado ainda está muito presente no ensino da língua e nos materiais didáticos que não “consideram a diversidade e a multiplicidade de epistemologias, culturas e povos falantes da língua inglesa ao redor do mundo” (PARDO, 2019, p. 212). Ao se constatar que a língua inglesa é utilizada como língua de interação em mais de 70 países (EBERHARD et al., 2020), abre-se a oportunidade para que histórias e culturas de países não-hegemônicos adentrem a comunidade escolar (MEGALE, 2020).
Assim, questionando a colonialidade que permeia nosso cotidiano enquanto falantes de língua inglesa como língua adicional, discutiremos nesse grupo questões como identidades, processos de ensino/aprendizagem de língua inglesa, diversidade cultural, estudos críticos da linguagem, e afetividade e emoções no ensino/aprendizagem de língua." (HALL, 2021).

“A SHORT HISTORY OF SLA: WHERE HAVE WE COME FROM AND WHERE ARE WE GOING?"
"The study of how people learn languages has a long history but it became an identifiable sub-area of applied linguistics in the 1960s driven by two seminal papers (Corder, 1967; Selinker, 1970), which motivated intensive empirical enquiry. Early research focused on investigating the order and sequence of L2 acquisition, leading into work on variability in learner language and rethinking the role of the L1. Subsequently, researchers turned to the role of input and interaction, implicit and explicit learning, and the importance of consciousness in language learning. At this stage, SLA was predominantly a cognitive-interactionist enterprise directed at explaining how learners acquire grammar. However, the 1990s saw a social turn in SLA. There was greater emphasis on the social context of learning, on learners’ social identity, and on different aspects of language. Sociocultural SLA became a major influence at this time. More recently, the cognitive and social sides of SLA have come closer together through the investigation of learners’ complex dynamic systems. As SLA has evolved, we can see a change in the reasons for investigating L2 acquisition. In the early phases SLA researchers were interested in improving language teaching. In the later phases. SLA has become less applied and more purely academic, directed at contributing to our understanding of language and the human mind. I will illustrate how this change has taken place through an analysis of the journals that publish SLA research and suggest that this is one reason why teachers have become increasingly skeptical of SLA as a useful source of information about pedagogy” (Abralin, 2021).

'USING TASKS IN LANGUAGE TEACHING'
'Tasks play a key role in both online and face-to-face teaching. In the first part of my talk, I will define what a task is and illustrate how tasks differ from exercises. In the second part, I provide a classification of tasks with examples to illustrate different task characteristics, and also suggest which types of tasks are best suited to different groups of learners. The third part will then consider how tasks can be incorporated into language lessons in terms of task-supported and task-based language teaching, the rationale for these two ways of using tasks, and the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches. The final part of the talk will then consider how teachers can tell if a task has worked. This involves defining what is meant by ‘worked’ and then evaluating whether a task has achieved what it was designed to achieve. The talk will conclude with an example of how a teacher can set about evaluating a task' (Rod Ellis - Cambridge Press ELT).
