Description
This workshop investigates the integration of sustainability, technology, innovative language teaching methods, linguistics, and professional development to transform language education. The primary objective is to equip educators with strategies to create eco-friendly, tech-enhanced, and linguistically informed teaching practices that promote cultural and environmental sustainability. Through interactive experiments, participants will engage in hands-on activities, including designing sustainable lesson plans using digital tools (e.g., Quizlet, corpus analysis platforms), simulating task-based and CLIL methods, and drafting professional development plans. These experiments will demonstrate how technology reduces resource use while enhancing accessibility and how linguistic diversity supports cultural sustainability. Expected outcomes include: (1) actionable lesson plans integrating sustainability and technology, (2) corpus-derived teaching materials tailored to specific contexts, (3) personalized professional development roadmaps, and (4) a digital toolkit of open-access resources. By fostering collaboration and reflective practice, the workshop aims to empower educators to implement sustainable, tech-driven language programs that align with global educational goals. This approach ensures equitable, engaging, and environmentally conscious language education, with long-term impacts on teaching efficacy and cultural preservation.
Biography
I am Nguyễn Phương Trang, a dedicated English teacher at Lê Hoàn High School, Hà Nam Province. I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in English Language Pedagogy from the University of Languages and International Studies, Vietnam National University, and have nearly three years of experience in education, focusing on language instruction and innovative curriculum design. Passionate about sustainable education, I integrate modern teaching methods like Task-Based Learning and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) to spark student engagement and raise awareness of global issues, such as environmental and cultural sustainability.
I actively incorporate technology into my classroom, using tools like Quizlet, Google Classroom, and corpus analysis platforms to create interactive, eco-friendly lessons that reduce paper use and enhance accessibility. I regularly participate in professional development courses and educational workshops, sharing insights on sustainable teaching and innovative methodologies through teacher communities on platforms. Beyond teaching, I engage in language education research, exploring how technology and linguistics can develop contextually relevant teaching materials. My dedication and creative approach have inspired many students at Lê Hoàn High School to excel in English examinations and build practical language skills. With a commitment to equitable and environmentally conscious education, I strive to inspire both my students and colleagues.
