height: 51px;" /></a></span></p><p><strong></strong><strong>Target Audience: </strong>Post-secondary English language programs<br />While ESL instructors and administrators have always been nimble in adapting to meet the diverse needs of English language learners, the past few years has required an extraordinary amount of adaptation and modification, both short and long term.&nbsp; &nbsp;Creativity and innovation are what attract many of us to this field.&nbsp; However, we cope with both a temporary ‘one-off’ nature of some adaptations while simultaneously implementing more stable ‘permanent’ changes.&nbsp; This combination can be draining; as creativity is hampered for instructors, coordinators, and administrators dealing with the day-to-day operations and classroom while also keeping up with the pace of change.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><br /><strong>Workshop Description</strong><br />This workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to identify strategies for coping and thriving in the ever-changing classroom and (virtual) office, leveraging their strengths and adding skills to cope with the new and changing demands.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />The facilitators will guide attendees through modules based on the attendees’ contexts to help with issues they are encountering as they adapt and modify curricula to meet changing students' goals and motivations, including working with mixed and combined levels, and use of advanced technologies in teaching and learning.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Workshop format will require participants to brainstorm and contribute--the facilitators will assist with the flow of ideas; attendees will get the most out of the day with full participation in a safe space that allows for inquiry and celebration.&nbsp;</p><p><br />Key Objectives:</p><ul><li>Learn more about the diversity of programming in post-secondary English language programs&nbsp;<br /></li><li>Identify common issues with&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;
