Back to Schedule
To ensure smooth communication and collaboration, here are some troubleshooting tips to address common issues:
  1. Check Internet Connection: Verify that you have a stable and reliable internet connection. Use a wired connection when possible, as it tends to be more stable than Wi-Fi. If using Wi-Fi, make sure you have a strong signal.
  2. Update the Browser or App: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the web browser. Developers frequently release updates to address bugs and improve performance.
  3. Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause conflicts or issues. Clear the browser cache and cookies before joining the meeting.
  4. Test Audio and Video: Before the meeting, check your microphone and camera to ensure they are working correctly. If you are a speaker, you can click on "Start Practice Session" button test to ensure audio and video devices are functioning.
  5. Close Other Applications: Running multiple applications in the background can consume system resources and lead to performance issues. Close unnecessary apps to free up resources for the Dryfta meeting platform.
  6. Restart Your Device: If you encounter persistent issues, try restarting your computer or mobile device. This can help resolve various software-related problems.
  7. Use Supported Browsers: Ensure you are using a browser supported by the meeting platform. Recommended browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
  8. Allow Necessary Permissions: Make sure the Dryfta meeting platform has the required permissions to access your microphone, camera, and other necessary features.
  9. Disable VPN or Firewall: Sometimes, VPNs or firewalls can interfere with the connection to the meeting platform. Temporarily disable them and see if the issue persists.
  10. Switch Devices: If possible, try joining the meeting from a different device to see if the problem is specific to one device.
  11. Reduce Bandwidth Usage: In cases of slow or unstable internet connections, ask participants to disable video or share video selectively to reduce bandwidth consumption.
  12. Update Drivers and Software: Ensure your operating system, audio drivers, and video drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with the Dryfta meeting platform.
  13. Contact Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, reach out to the platform's support team. They can provide personalized assistance and troubleshoot specific problems.
By following these troubleshooting tips, you can tackle many common problems encountered on Dryfta meeting platform and have a more productive and seamless meeting experience.

This symposium, organised by the Literature in Language Learning and Teaching (LiLLT) ReN convenors Sandra Stadler-Heer, Petra Kirchhoff and Amos Paran, with Wolfgang Hallet as featured speaker, focuses on the use of literature in language classrooms and on researching literature within applied linguistics. The longstanding and strong preoccupation with the practical problems of integrating literature in language curricula in secondary and tertiary education contexts has recently resulted in a revived interest in theorising and researching this area. For this symposium, we invite papers focusing on investigations of (new) patterns and paradigms, both theoretical and empirical. This includes the widening of the scope of literature to include a wide variety of multimodal texts as well as activities such as fanfiction, poetry writing and gaming, as well as widening the focus evolving from a reliance on what has variously been called "practitioner evidence" or "best practice literature" to employing a variety of educational and applied linguistics research methodologies to look at issues such as teacher and learner beliefs, the actual use of literature in classrooms, and curriculum and textbook research among others. The symposium will thus provide the floor for empirically informed discussions of theorising, researching and practicing literature in language teaching.

Functions of Literature in Culture and Language Learning

FeaturedAILA Symposium 08:30 AM - 12:00 Noon (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/17 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/17 10:00:00 UTC
The ability to read literary texts and to explore fictional worlds is a competence in its own right. Teaching literature should be based on a model of literary competences that learners need to acquire in order to understand the aesthetic dimension of literary texts and their relation to cultural experiences.

Implementation of an intercultural literary pedagogy in FLT: an effect study in secondary education in the Netherlands

StandardAILA Symposium 08:30 AM - 12:00 Noon (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/17 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/17 10:00:00 UTC
This study investigates the effects of a CLIL-based literary pedagogy on intercultural competence and language proficiency of 239 students in FLT. Three interventions carried out in two consecutive school years in the upper forms of Dutch secondary schools showed positive effects on intercultural competence development as measured by a validated questionnaire.

Picturebooks, pragmatics and teaching young L2 learners of English: an investigation of five children’s books

StandardAILA Symposium 08:30 AM - 12:00 Noon (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/17 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/17 10:00:00 UTC
In this presentation, I will examine five different picturebooks (The airport book, The prince and the pee, The suitcase, Weirdo, When Charley met Emma) regarding their speech act content. I will focus on 15 speech acts acts (Advice, Advice Response, Apology, Agreement, Disagreement, Complaint, Expression of Feelings / Physical states, Greeting, Leave-take, Offer, Offer Response, Request, Request-Responses, Reprimand, Thanking) but will also briefly address issues such as exclusion and inclusion, talking about bodily functions and intercultural content.

Teachers’ Beliefs about Using Literature and Film in ESP-oriented Classes

Focused 08:30 AM - 12:00 Noon (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/17 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/17 10:00:00 UTC
This presentation aims to focus on the teachers who use literature and/or film in their ESP-oriented courses and investigate why these teachers use them in the contexts and what issues are in their minds. The results of the teacher interviews indicated that the teachers believed in some benefits of using literature and film, even in their ESP-oriented classrooms. If we claim the value of literature and film in language teaching, we must seek their use in various contexts, including such as ESP-oriented courses and other unexpected contexts.

Literature as catalyst for cross-curricular education – FICTION AND CONTENT UNIFIED LEARNING (FACUL)

FocusedAILA Symposium 08:30 AM - 12:00 Noon (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/17 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/17 10:00:00 UTC
The curricula-based school practice of the Sciences ignores the human aptitude for storytelling. FICTION AND CONTENT UNIFIED LEARNING (FACUL) employs neuroscientific insights into the conditions of successful learning and demonstrates how LabLit, a subgenre of science novels, can act as catalyst to trigger cross-curricular learning processes.

Picturebooks as the basis for the development of aesthetic education in EFL: From inferential online reading to emotional competence

FocusedAILA Symposium 08:30 AM - 12:00 Noon (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/17 06:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/17 10:00:00 UTC
This research focuses on the reading process in which children get engaged when working with picturebooks. We aim to analyze the inferential online reading that occurs while students interpret the meaning of the text and how this process triggers a series of aesthetic experiences that develop in turn emotional competences.
