Notes from elis conf

Pedagogy is key

How to be future ready

1..Depth of language

Shades of meaning express nuances
Abstract ideas
Conjecture imagine

Grammar not as important as love and depth of language

2. Intersection of disciplines

Concepts in other fields
Language must adapt. Adaptability if language 

Language is evolving constantly. Organic. Ensure we don't kill love.
Some singlish words are so precise nothing else can say!
English is lingua franca because of its flexibility and adaptability.  .

Language must be adaptable in a vuca world

3. Diversity
English now belongs to no one and everyone.
Really? Is it not our colonial masters language?
Not if we make it our own.

Riding the waves of disruption
Language must enable us to think creatively

Humanities coming back in now

Literature and language intersect woth technology

Successful video game writers studied literature
Story archetypes .
Literature and coding
Biology and mechanics

My question then - creative writing how much time should spend on this. Honestly writing compos is different from creative writing . Include creativity and writing

Listening to subtext

Musicality of language
Story telling
