Cowin, J. (2023, October 21). Strengthening communities of practice through community asset mapping in the ChatGPT era [Virtual presentation]. Sunshine TESOL, Florida.

It was a pleasure presenting today virtually for Sunshine TESOL.

As education moves into the age of generative Artificial Intelligence, it is important to consider the role of culturally responsive pedagogies and community asset mapping for enhancing student learning and achievement and proof of work. This practice-oriented session will discuss and showcase practical frameworks on ways community asset mapping can be used as an example of culturally responsive pedagogy to leverage community resources and honor student identities and lived experiences. Additionally, we will explore the re-framing and exploration of issues related to the use of generative AI in 21st-century language teaching and the concept of student proof of work.

Practical Pedagogy: Leveraging Word Families in Enhancing Lexical Acquisition for English Language and Multilingual Learners – an infographic by Dr. Jasmin (Bey) Cowin

My infographic “Practical Pedagogy: Leveraging Word Families in Enhancing Lexical Acquisition for English Language and Multilingual Learners” highlights the practical application of word families—clusters of words that originate from a shared root. These clusters provide a pragmatic strategy for vocabulary development, enabling more efficient Second Language Acquisition (SLA) for English learners. Through my infographic, I aim to equip educators with a clear, actionable guide on implementing explicit vocabulary teaching.

I hope my infographic serves as more than just an illustrative tool. I envision it as a practical spotlight on the tangible benefits of word families in enhancing language retention and comprehension for English Language Learners (ELLs). By having a visual guide on pedagogical implications on vocabulary aquisition and teaching, educators are better positioned to integrate word families into their lesson plans, thereby promoting enhanced vocabulary growth among their students, regardless of their linguistic backgrounds.
