ANNIVERSARY

AT TESOL 2016 IN BALTIMORE

TESOL-Ukraine is a national non-governmental association of professionals advancing the

quality of English language teaching in Ukraine through life-long professional development and

research. Membership is open to all teachers of English.

On June 16, 1995 TESOL-Ukraine was set up at a national conference in Vinnytsya State

Pedagogical Institute with the support from America House. On October 31, 1996 TESOL-Ukraine

was officially welcomed as an International Affiliate of TESOL, Inc. by Susan Bayley, Executive

Director. As an affiliate of TESOL, Inc. TESOL-Ukraine provides international standards in teaching

and learning English. Next year TESOL-Ukraine will celebrate two decades of affiliation with TESOL

International

In 2001 discussions leading to the collaboration between Hawaii TESOL and TESOL-Ukraine as

sister affiliates began. The Partnership Agreement was signed by the representatives of affiliates at

TESOL Convention‟2002 in Salt Lake City. It is one of the oldest TESOL organizations and its

experience is of great value for TESOL-Ukraine.

The work of TESOL-Ukraine is regulated by the Constitution. Governance is implemented by

the Executive Committee that runs the work of the association nationwide, coordinating activities

of oblast subdivisions headed by oblast leaders. The officers are volunteers, who meet in person

with oblast leaders three times a year at Leadership Meetings to discuss the budget, activities, and

make common decisions.

TESOL-Ukraine Newsletter, a quarterly publication, informs on the life of the association.

TESOL-Ukraine runs annual national and regional teachers‟ conferences, students‟ forums, and

various teacher development events with assistance and support from the RELO office and Public

Affairs Section.

Message from the President The academic year of 2015-2016 is the twentieth in the history of TESOL-Ukraine. It is

the organization well-known among the EFL professionals of Ukraine for its successful

academic events both for teachers and students, as well as for that special atmosphere of

inspiration, professional competence, and friendship. We are thankful to Svitlana Chugu and

the team of Vinnytsya State Pedagogical University for starting the organization that has

become the integral part of our life.

This academic year is not only the year of our anniversary but also the year of taking

serious steps in the TESOL-Ukraine further development.

The new Executive Committee started its work on April 30, 2015, the next day after

the elections. The complex of tasks to be implemented can be described as the re-start of

the organization. The previous president (Alisa Mykolaichuk), the secretary and the treasurer

did not appear to report on their work, to transfer the money collected in the form of

membership dues, to submit the lists of members in oblasts, etc. Thus, we started from the

very beginning.

Here are the first results.

◙ The organization got the official status of an NGO, when it was re-registered under the

resolution of Leadership Meeting of Jan. 21, 2015 from TESOL-Halychyna to TESOL-

Ukraine.

◙ The official bank account of the organization was opened in OshchadBank:

п/р 26008300476660

АТ "Ощадбанк" / OSHCHADBANK

ТВБВ № 10013/0289 ФЛОУ АТ "ОЩАДБАНК"

Код банку 325796

Код ЄДРПОУ організації 33073458

◙ The website was created: http://www.tesol-ukraine.com

◙ The e-publication of TESOL-Ukraine Newsletter was resumed after a three-year

interruption (Joint Issue 1-2, Spring-Summer, 2015; Joint Issue 3-4, Fall-Winter 2015).

◙ The TESOL-Ukraine Strategic Plan 2015-2018 was adopted.

The membership issues are most important now. In 1995 the membership comprised

202 EFL professionals, and twenty years later in April 2015 we had 241 members. But there

were years when the membership was about 1000 (942 in 2004) and more than 1000 (in

2005). We see our main task in restoring the trust in the organization among EFL

professionals in Ukraine.

The considerable changes in the sphere of EFL teaching in Ukraine that have been

started in the country in the context of 2016: Year of English in Ukraine and Go Global

programs demand new approaches to teaching EFL/ESL, and we see great opportunities for

TESOL-Ukraine participation in new EFL teaching projects in new Ukrainian- and English-

Speaking Ukraine.

the TESOL-Ukraine Executive Committee 2015-2018

Maryna Tsehelska:

I am a TESOL-Ukraine member since 2002 – this organization shaped me as a professional and helped in many endeavors. As a TESOLer I have run workshops for teachers of English in Ukraine and abroad. I was a part of Hawaii-TESOL (TESOL-Ukraine’s Sister Affiliate) for academic year 2005-2006.

The academic year that I spent as Fulbright Scholar at Hawaii Pacific University was very productive: it gave an opportunity to gather material for research, to get acquainted with HITESOL members and take part in HITESOL events, to learn more about MATESL program at HPU (Hawaii Pacific University).

The time that I have spent in TESOL-Ukraine is also very productive: it gave me the opportunity to get acquainted with amazing professionals all over Ukraine, to visit many institutions, and to learn so much about English language teaching.

I consider TESOL-Ukraine an incredible organization and would like to help to transform this organization into an important symbol of fundamental changes in Ukraine.

Olena Gladka: I am a member of TESOL-Ukraine since 2004. During this period I have participated in two conferences as a presenter. My participation gives me a wonderful opportunity to share ideas with colleagues, get to know some new approaches in the methods of teaching English, inspires me to use the materials in my classroom. Membership in TESOL allows me to build new professional relations and exchange information with the teaching community all over Ukraine.

Iryna Salata: I’m a TESOL-Ukraine member since 2003. I took part in the work of 10 conferences as a participant. TESOL-Ukraine conferences provide me with a lot of new materials, teaching techniques which I use at the lessons. They also inspire my further research in teaching-learning process.

Alexander Malygin:

I am a member of TESOL-Ukraine since 2003. Since 2004 I have made presentations at all Annual TESOL-Ukraine International Conferences. I have also taken part in several regional conferences of TESOL-Ukraine both as a participant and a presenter.

In my opinion, my membership in TESOL-Ukraine makes it possible to see different universities of the country, to meet colleagues who share my interests, to enrich my knowledge of English, and to attend seminars of outstanding teachers, to speak to them, and even to sing with them (Caroline Graham, Peter Master, Leslie Opp-Beckman, Hugh Dellar, Maria Coady, Bridget Goodman and many others).

Yelena Honchar:

I've been a member of TESOL-Ukraine for about 15 years, since 2000. During this period I have participated in 10 TESOL-Ukraine conferences in different cities of Ukraine, mainly as a participant.

The participation in conferences gave me an opportunity to meet highly qualified colleagues from all parts of Ukraine as well as from the USA and Great Britain. The information and the materials I received at the conferences are really invaluable and help a lot in my teaching practice.

Olena Pakhomova:

I’m a member of TESOL-Ukraine since 2012 and participated in 3 conventions mainly as a participant.

Being a part of such an NGO as TESOL-Ukraine is rather encouraging and challenging experience. As a teacher I strive for life-long professional development, and TESOL-Ukraine conferences and other events help me in my ambition. Annual conferences stimulate not just the exchange of advanced teaching methods and ideas but also contribute for mutual understanding and collaboration among passionate teachers throughout Ukraine.

Cooperation of TESOL-Ukraine and

Dnipropetrovsk Association of English Language Teachers

Life-long in-service professional development is vital for the successful career in English language teaching.

TESOL-Ukraine is a professional organization that unites the EFL teachers and scholars who are devoted to the profession and interested in new ideas in the sphere of teaching English, and what is even more important they are always ready to share the experience gained.

So was the case with the teacher development seminar in Dnipropetrovsk.

Valentyna Shvydka being both a devoted professional and president of the NGO Dnipropetrovsk Association of English Language Teachers initiated running a teacher training event to give a good beginning to a new academic year. Maryna Tsehelska is a well-known trainer in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, who was invited to lead the training course. Thus, the idea to run a joint TESOL-Ukraine and Dnipropetrovsk Association of English Language Teachers event originated.

On October 29, 2015 Specialized Secondary School #22 of Dnipropetrovsk hosted the teacher training seminar for secondary school teachers of English "Utilizing Bloom's Taxonomy in the English Classroom". Maryna Tsehelska was the trainer. 22 EFL teachers did the training course on bloom’s taxonomy in the EFL classroom. The following 13 secondary educational establishments of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast delegated their teachers and methodologists to the seminar: Humanitarian-and-Technical Lyceum #129 (Kryvyi Rih), Lesya Ukrainka Gymnasium (Zhovti Vody), Gymnasium #11 (Dniprodzerzhynsk), Solonyansky District Educational-and-Methodological Complex, Novooleksandrivska School (Dnipropetrovsk Oblast), Secondary School #1 (Dnipropetrovsk), Secondary School #7 (Dnipropetrovsk), Secondary School #13 (Dnipropetrovsk), Secondary School #54 (Dnipropetrovsk), Secondary School #58 (Dnipropetrovsk), Secondary School #139 (Dnipropetrovsk), Specialized Secondary School #144 with the advanced studies of Hebrew, History of the Jews, and Jewish traditions (Dnipropetrovsk), and Specialized Secondary School #22 (Dnipropetrovsk) that hosted the event.

The training program was organized to meet the needs of the EFL teachers, it comprised a lecture (2 academic hours), interactive training (4 academic hours), and presentations of the final projects made by the course participants (2 academic hours). All the participants of the teacher training course actively participated in variable activities, worked out interesting teaching materials, and made successful presentations of their final projects.

The final stage of the event included the ceremony of awarding the certificates to the participants of the course. The teachers were glad to get well-designed certificates that will be most helpful in the end of the academic year when the teachers have their qualification rating.

TESOL-Ukraine Executive Committee is looking forward to your initiatives in running new teacher development events.

Please, find below the presentation of the training course made by its author, Maryna Tsehelska.

Tsehelska Maryna Valeriivna

Ph.D. in Philology, Assoc. Prof.,

English Language & Methodology Dept.

Kryvyi Rih National University

The teacher training course Utilizing Bloom's Taxonomy in the English Classroom

included lectures, interactive training, and presentation of the final projects made by the

course participants.

Course participants learned that incorporating Bloom‟s Taxonomy into lesson objectives

will enable both teachers and learners to visualize the „bigger picture.‟ Each level plays a

different role in developing an objective:

1.

R e m e m b e r i n g

At the most basic level of the framework,

learners are asked to recall information.

Defining terms and correctly identifying the

meaning of certain words are typical course

book tasks that represent this level.

Example objective:

„Learners will be able to match vocabulary

items to the correct definitions.‟

2.

Understanding

At this level, learners are asked typically

required to interpret facts and compare and

contrast newly learned information. True or

false activities and reading comprehension

questions are at the understanding level.

Example objective:

„Learners will be able to answer

comprehension questions for a reading text.‟

3.

Applying

At the applying level, learners apply concepts

and techniques that they learned in class to

authentic situations. A typical task at this

level would be to write a paragraph based on

a model presented in the course book.

Example objective:

„Learners will be able to write a paragraph

based on information given in a table.‟

4.

Analyzing

At the next level, learners are required to

uncover patterns and discover meaning by

differentiating information. Grammar boxes

that require learners to deduce the rules are

examples of activities at this level.

Example objective:

„Learners will be able to deduce the grammar

rules for using who and whose in relative

clauses.‟

5.

Evaluating

At the evaluating knowledge level, teachers

are starting to really challenge learners to

build up high-level critical thinking skills.

Tasks might include, for instance, making

choices about a text and providing evidence

for these choices.

Example objective:

„Learners will be able to identify the author’s

stance and provide evidence to support this

viewpoint.‟

6.

Creating

At the highest level of Bloom‟s Taxonomy,

learners are required to create some kind of

tangible product. We typically see such

activities at the end of a course book unit, in

which all of the input leads to the production

of a poster or a set of rules, or some such

interpretation of what has been learned.

Example objective:

„Learners will be able to create a PowerPoint

presentation summarizing what they have

learned about today’s topic.‟

So, there are several benefits of using Bloom‟s Taxonomy to help you write

objectives:

◙ You will have more insight into the relative ease or difficulty of

all the tasks you are setting in terms of cognitive load.

◙ You will have better understanding of how course books are put

together and how the difficulty of tasks progresses across a unit

of study.

◙ You will be able to recognize whether or not you are setting too

many exercises that are either cognitively easy or demanding.

◙ You will more understanding of how to set up a progression of

activities so that the cognitive load increases appropriately.

In the Wrapping Up Session the teachers also shared their techniques, activities, and

games:

◘ Inessa Scherbina (EFL teacher, Dnipropetrovsk Secondary School #54) shared her

experience on how to teach students of the 10-th form word building through the

topic “The Secret of Success”. She also gave very useful information on creating

Teacher’s Professional E-Portfolio using the website http://wix.com.

◘ Teachers from the Kryvyi Rih Technical-and-Humanitarian Lyceum #129 Iryna

Topolova (EFL teacher) and Alla Hrechuk (EFL teacher and director of studies)

presented the innovative forms of classroom activities. The activities dealt with

drilling question sentences.

◘ Valentyna Shvydka (President of the Association of English Language Teachers

of Dnipropetrovsk, Secondary School #22, Dnipropetrovsk) encouraged teachers to

play Activate Board Games on the 21-st of November.

◘ Oksana Smirnova (director of studies, Secondary School #22, Dnipropetrovsk)

shared her materials on teaching young learners.

While we would never

suggest turning all of the classes into one long ‘gamesfest’, we do understand that a good educational game can be not only justified, but should be regarded as an important part of our teaching repertoire helping us to create contexts in which the language is useful and meaningful. Through the use of games, from traditional board games to sophisticated strategy and role-playing simulations, teachers can foster students’ constructive interpersonal communication skills as well as enhance conflict resolution, negotiation and critical

thinking skills.

Ten English teachers from

Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Belarus joined their Moldovan colleagues to explore and conceptualize the problems and prospects of incorporating gamification into EFL class in the international Practical & Entertaining Adventure for Conflict-resolution and English-teaching camp which took place in Vadul lui Voda, Moldova on October 27-31st. The camp was

sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and English Language Innovation Fund.

These five productive days in the Innovation P.E.A.C.E.

Camp were full of learning, insights, ideas, contacts, gameplay, and fun. The international colleagues, whom we met in Moldova, are true professionals dedicated to teaching and also, they are amazing people with an extraordinary sense of camaraderie. We exchanged stories, but most importantly, we exchanged ideas and best practices. The camp was such a powerful place and everyone we met there was humble and giving and brilliant. We learned, were inspired, and now as we’re back we want to tell as many teachers as we could about conflict resolution through playing games in the EFL teaching and learning, so they too could use these ideas in their classrooms.

In the P.E.A.C.E. camp we joined an international EFLT

community brought together to experience how games could be integrated into the English language classroom. We developed five amazing games that are easy to be tailored to suit any level, any topic and any classroom. The board games we created there will help the students uncover language, make choices, tackle challenges, and become emotionally invested both individually and as a team. We left the camp with an overwhelming sense of "We would like to try all the games with our students and our peer teachers!"

Networking with international colleagues on the concept of

conflict resolution through playing games in an EFL class did much to convince us that there is much more to gamification than we thought before. However, it still left us thinking that we do need dedicated teachers with a lot of energy to make it really work! We believe that the Activate – Ukraine Project will be a good start and a helpful hand in motivating both teachers and students to use games in EFL teaching and learning!

Students name books that they have read.

T. - Now from literature to poetry .What poems by famous poets from English or American

poetry do you remember?

P1 - by: George Gordon (Lord) Byron (1788-1824)

SHE walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellow'd to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impair'd the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress?

Or softly lightens o'er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express

How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent!

P2 - Annabel Lee by A. Poe

It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

By the name of ANNABEL LEE;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea;

But we loved with a love that was more than love-

I and my Annabel Lee;

With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven

Coveted her and me.

P3 – William Shakespeare

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;

Coral is far more red than her lips' red;

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;

If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

I have seen roses damask’s, red and white,

But no such roses see I in her cheeks;

And in some perfumes is there more delight

Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know

That music hath a far more pleasing sound;

I grant I never saw a goddess go;

My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

As any she belied with false compare.

T. - Now I want to read you a poem written by one of my students, listen to it.

If I were a bumble bee

And you were a buttercup

I’d buzz around until I found

Your bright face looking up

If I were the summer rain

And you were a new rainbow

I’d try to find warm sunshine

So you would never go

If I were the autumn wind

And you were a maple tree

I’d lift your leaves with gentle breeze

And hold them close to me

If I were the first snowfall

And you were an evergreen

I’d wrap you in my winter coat

And make you my Snow Queen!

Maxym Samoylenko

T. - So, try to write our own masterpieces about love. It will be your home task.

T. - Logically from literature and poetry to lyrics, what romantic songs do you remember?

P1 - Theme from ‘’Love story”

P2 - Frank Sinatra “Stranger in the night’’

P3 - The platters “Only you’’

P4 - The Smokie I’ll meet you at midnight’’

P5 - Steve Wonder ‘’I just called to say I love you’’

T. - And this is the song we will sing together. Music and lyrics are by Steve Wonder ‘’ I

just call to say I love you’’

Students sing to the music.

T. - And now it’s high time to present each other valentines.

Students present valentines and say why they have chosen this or that partner.

P1 - February the fourteenth day, is Valentine, they say.

I choose you from among the rest; the reason was I loved you best.

P2 - Here are gold ships and silver ships

But no ships like friendship

III. ROUND UP

T. - And with this we have come to the end of the lesson. Thank you for cooperation. It was

interesting and informative. Good luck to you!

Results

before 2015).

and speaking) and use of English, giving you a clear understanding of your performance.

These five scores are averaged to give you an overall result for the exam. You will also be

given a grade and Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) level.

All candidates receive a Statement of Results, and if you are successful in the exam

you will also receive a certificate.

Depending on which university, college or organisation you are applying to, you may be

asked to achieve a specific score or grade, either overall or for a particular skill.

For Cambridge English: First, the following scores will be used to report results:

Our exams on the Cambridge English Scale

The Cambridge English Scale is a range of scores used for reporting the results of

Cambridge English exams. It is built on our existing results reporting and years of research,

and is designed to complement the Common European Framework of Reference for

Languages (CEFR).

The Cambridge English Scale allows for more straightforward results reporting across

our exams and better meets the needs of our exam users, including candidates, teachers,

universities and immigration departments.

Exam results will be reported on the Cambridge English Scale for sessions held after

the following dates:

From January 2015 – Cambridge English: First, First for Schools,

Advanced and Proficiency

From February 2016 – Cambridge English: Key, Key for Schools, Preliminary, Preliminary for

Schools and Cambridge English: Business Certificates

Benefits

More detailed results – candidates receive a score for each skill (Reading, Writing,

Listening and Speaking) plus Use of English. They also get an overall score for the exam

on the Cambridge English Scale.

Straightforward and consistent – results across our exams will report on the same scale.

Scores on the Cambridge English Scale will replace the existing standardised scores

and candidate profile.

Easy to compare performance – the alignment of our exams to the CEFR, to IELTS and to

each other is clear. Results on the scale also give a greater insight into candidate

progression from one exam to the next.
