Teaching in times of plurilingualism and cultural diversity

An opportunity to share provocative reflections, present interesting teaching practices and have conversations about how teachers can support learning through providing an inclusive teaching of languages.

As linguistic diversity and plurilingualism become undenying realities that teachers must take into account, it is important to wonder how we can become sensitive to these realities and how we can consider them in our daily teaching practice.

For their first one-day summer institute, members of the Educlang group at the Faculty of Education of the University of Ottawa wish to virtually reunite education professionals for a series of workshops on linguistic diversity and plurilingualism in language education.
