On January 12-15, 2016, the NFLRC Project-Based Language Learning (PBLL) Symposium will bring together experts, educational leaders, and world language teachers to foster the conversation on the potential for PBLL to transform and enhance language education.
PBLL's intersections with content-based instruction, task-based language learning, and performance assessment make it an ideal conduit to ground language learning on real needs and measurable outcomes.</p>
<p style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; COLOR: rgb(51,51,51); MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px" dir="ltr">
We invite language educators, policymakers, researchers, and innovators to join the conversation and help further refine the PBLL framework by anchoring it to issues and ideas that are relevant to language education. This unique FREE online event will provide
attendees not only invaluable opportunities to access expertise in PBLL and engage in thought-provoking and constructive dialogues, but also a chance to network with professionals who are passionate about this topic.</p>
<p style="FONT-SIZE: 13px; COLOR: rgb(51,51,51); MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px" dir="ltr">
The symposium format makes it easy to integrate to busy schedules. Eight engaging presentations are followed by moderated participant discussions online. These interactive sessions are distributed across four days (i.e., two sessions per day). </p>
