The notion that the ability to master English yields opportunities for better education, employment, and career enhancement, particularly in this era of globalization, has brought about changes in English language education. Education authorities from many countries all over the world are implementing the teaching of subject matters using English as the medium of instruction. In Indonesia, this has become a growing trend which has manifested itself in the establishment of National Plus schools, Internationally Accredited schools (Rintisan Sekolah Bertaraf Internasional & Sekolah Bertaraf Internasional), for primary and secondary education as well as international classes in higher education.
Consequently, the integration of content and English language teaching has brought about challenges for both content and language teachers. While attention needs to be given to the content teachers in terms of developing their English competencies, similar considerations need to be addressed to the ELT teachers in developing their competencies in subject matters such as Math, Science, and Social studies.
This seminar aims to empower English language teachers in facing these challenges teaching students to use English to learn and at the same time facilitating students’ learning to use English. The presentation, workshop, and discussion sessions in the seminar will highlight the relevant topics in response to the issues above.
We believe that participants taking part in this seminar will gain insights on how to enhance their expertise in meeting the growing demands of education authorities and the society. They will also get ideas on the kind of techniques they can develop to teach language as well as content when using materials/textbooks set by the their school’s curriculum.
