In collaboration with the European Confederation of Language Centres
in Higher Education (CercleS) and the Réseau National des Centres de
Langues de l'Enseignement Supérieur de France (Ranacles), the UNamur
Language Center is organizing the upcoming CercleS Teacher Training
Week.
The event will take place on 19-22 May 2026 and will bring together
around 30 participants from across Europe for four days of exchange,
reflection, and hands-on collaboration.
This Teacher Training Week will provide a forum for exploring
innovative forms of collaboration between language instructors and
content specialists, with the aim of enhancing student learning. Key
areas of focus include:
 - Co-operation between language instructors and content specialists
 - Interdisciplinary collaboration and program integration
 - Research-driven pedagogical strategies to support diverse learners
We are seeking contributions:
Communications: two contributors are invited to give a 45-minute talk
(plus Q&A) presenting innovative practices, challenges, or insights on
effective cooperation and collaboration between LSP instructors and
content specialists.
Workshops: we are also looking for four contributors to lead 90-minute
workshops (30-minute presentation + 1-hour
application/discussion/feedback) in which participants design
cooperative teaching modules, share methods, and create practical
exercises for interdisciplinary courses.
Abstracts must be submitted by February 9, 2026, to
natassia.schutz at unamur.be
Communications (500 words) should provide a clear and concise overview
of your topic. Workshops (300 words) should outline the format,
objectives, and materials required.
