9.30 - 11.00: Conferencia 1: «El enfoque pluricultural e intercultural puestos en perspectiva desde un modelo complejo de la competencia cultural». Dr. Christian Puren. Con la colaboración de la Embajada de Francia.
Se dicta en idioma español.
Resumen. En la evolución de la didáctica de las lenguas-culturas en Europa desde hace un siglo y medio hasta el momento, se nota una sucesión de componentes privilegiados de la competencia cultural, desde el componente transcultural –orientado a los valores universales de la llamada “educación humanística” y el componente metacultural –orientado a los conocimientos sobre las culturas extranjeras– hasta el componente co-cultural específicamente movilizado en la formación de un actor social responsable y solidario, finalidad que el Marco Común Europeo de Referencia ha fijado al aprendizaje de las lenguas extranjeras a partir de los años 2000. El enfoque intercultural y el enfoque pluricultural corresponden a dos componentes más: como tales, tienen su validez y pertinencia propias que se analizarán desde esa perspectiva de un modelo complejo de la competencia cultural (ver bibliografía).

11:30 - 13:00: Conferencia 2: «Write what you know». Prof. Neil Bissoondath.
Se dicta en idioma inglés.
Resumen. Write what you know is the most useless, hackneyed advice any writer of fiction can receive. In this talk, I describe my writing process, how my fiction comes about, how I go in search of inspiration, and what I avoid doing. Based on both my experience as a novelist/essayist/short-story writer and as a professor of creative writing, I explore how some of my books have come about, and what in my opinion makes for a successful novel.

9.45 - 11.45 Conferencia 1: «English as an International Language» (interactive lecture/discussion).
Se dicta en idioma inglés.
Resumen. Traditional views of language learning have privileged native speakers and identified the varieties of language they speak as the target for all learners of English. In the past twenty-five years, increasing attention has been paid to a different perspective on language learning and teaching: English as an International Language. The majority of users and learners of English are not native speakers, most do not live in countries where native speakers predominate and many of these speakers will use English to communicate with other non-natives like themselves. These realities can (and should) affect what language target is chosen, what materials are used, and how the language is taught.

14.45 - 15.15 Apertura
15.15 - 17.15 Conferencia 2: «Academic Literacy and Second Language Reading» (lecture/discussion).
Se dicta en idioma inglés.
Resumen. The kinds of texts second language learners read in school can present significant problems for comprehension. Academic texts often use language that differs from conversation in terms of vocabulary and grammatical structures. This lecture will discuss some of the features of academic text, as well as the cognitive skills readers need to comprehend academic language. The final section of the talk will address teaching implications, that is, how teachers can develop student reading comprehension and academic literacy skills.
