Event description
Join us for the next edition of the FOHLC Café, where we continue our
journey around the world! This time we will hear from an expert from the
Greek community in the U.K.: how can we reimagine heritage language
education to incorporate the practice of home tutoring?

Grab a cup of coffee or tea and come chat about your experiences with other
people involved in heritage language education. Everyone is welcome:
teachers, community organizers, and anyone interested in multilingualism.

We look forward to seeing you there!


Program
This time, we are honored to welcome Antonia Gkioka, PhD researcher in
Linguistics at the University of Westminster. Her doctoral research,
entitled “Reimagining Greek heritage language education: home tutoring and
sociocultural identity,” looks at the understudied teaching method of home
tutoring in Greek-as-a-heritage-language within London’s Greek community.
Alongside her research, Antonia teaches Greek as a heritage and a foreign
language, working with children and adult learners.

How does home tutoring influence a child's identity development as a Greek
speaker, and how do technological developments like AI influence this form
of education? What role does a family language policy (FLP) have in opting
for home tutoring? Join us for a fascinating discussion about these issues,
which may be applicable to your own language community.
