As part of our commitment to our partnership schools, we are inviting secondary and primary modern languages mentors, other ML colleagues, ECTs, current trainees and colleagues with an interest in languages to attend our professional development and research meetings.
May's seminar takes the form of a Show and Tell event with contributions from language teachers from our partnership of schools around the theme: In my own and other cultures ….
The focus will be on the diverse ways in which local language teachers develop their learners’ intercultural competence by integrating linguistic and cultural learning in their day-to-day practices. This will include practice-based examples of how we can strengthen the representation of the multi-ethnic diversity of target language countries and communities in the language teaching resources we use and the ways in which language teachers articulate intercultural learning objectives and assess progress towards these objectives. There will be short contributions from teachers involved in the CLiC Wave 2 Project (Culture and Language Integrated Classrooms) and student teachers (supported by their mentors) who are developing intercultural learning as a core aspect of their practice.
We will also be joined by Dawn Piper, Coordinator of Languages at Littleover Community School in Derby, who is a specialist teacher for the DfE funded Derwent Languages Hub which is part of the National Consortium for Languages Education Language Hubs programme. Dawn will talk about some of the work she has been involved in with local partnership schools to support high quality language learning and set out some of the opportunities for professional learning offered by the Derwent Hub.
If you would like to contribute to the Show and Tell by sharing the ways in which you are integrating linguistic and cultural learning in your classrooms, please contact Lesley Hagger-Vaughan.
