Ponencia: The Keys to Motivating 21st Century Learners
We live in a rapidly changing world, one that is increasingly interconnected. Our 21st century learners are growing up in an exciting but also challenging world that is fast-paced and technology-driven. As English teachers in this century, we are tasked with building skills for global communication. This includes digital, new media, and visual literacy skills because communication in English is inextricably linked to these 21st century literacies. Motivating this new generation of learners requires us to understand more deeply what it means to successfully communicate and collaborate across borders and cultures in English in this ever-changing world. Hopefully by the end of the presentation, with keys in hand, we will all be inspired to motivate our 21st century learners.
