Host Institution: University of Cambridge
Website: http://www.meits.org/events/event/early-language-learning-what-it-can-looks-like

Dates: 24-Oct-2019 - 25-Oct-2019

Focus: This workshop will focus on the early learning and teaching of a foreign language in an instructed context.
Minimum Education Level: No Minimum


Description:
In the context of the AHRC Open World Initiative and the MEITS project
(www.meits.org), we are running a two-day workshop (October 24 and 25) in
Cambridge entitled Early language learning in school: What it (can) look(s)
like.

The aim of the workshop is to discuss what language learning in primary and
lower secondary school looks (or can look) like. We hope that this workshop
will promote foreign language learning and support the transition from primary
to secondary school as part of a broad and balanced curriculum. To this end,
it brings together academics from the UK and EU with teachers of modern
foreign languages in primary and secondary schools, teacher trainers and
policy makers from the UK.

Our main speakers are a mix of experienced practitioners, teacher trainers and
academics, who will talk about successes and difficulties with language
teaching and learning in their contexts and present practical tips for the
classroom. We hope that the workshop will provide a platform for participants
to exchange original ideas, share best practice and deepen their understanding
of language teaching and learning.

Invited speakers include:
 
Florence Myles (University of Essex)
Victoria Murphy (University of Oxford)
Darnelle Constant-Sheperd (University College London)
Nadine Chadier (St. Jérôme Church of England Bilingual School)
Simone Pfenninger (University of Salzburg)
Jan-Willem Chevalking (Radboud University, Nijmegen)
Paula Ambrossi (University College London)
