[Sealang-l] 2016 NFLRC Online Symposium: "Project-Based Language Learning: Inspiring Teachers, Transforming Learning"

[National Foreign Language Resource Center]

2016 NFLRC Online Symposium:Project-Based Language Learning: Inspiring
Teachers, Transforming Learning

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.

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.

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).
