Awareness of Languages in Multilingual Landscapes
Dr. Diane Dagenais (on left with colleague Cécile Sabatier)
from Simon Frasier University in Vancouver, British Columbia,
will provide immersion teachers with a hands-on exploration of practical activities for the classroom on language awareness in multilingual contexts. The activities she will share were developed in collaboration with her colleague Dr. Cécile Sabatier and are adapted from work they undertook in a research team with Drs. Armand, Lamarre and Moore. Such activities can foster more inclusive learning environments by having students systematically attend to the range of languages represented among their classmates and in their communities.
Morning
: Professor Dagenais' workshop.
Lunch will be provided, free of charge, for all registrants thanks to the Affinity Grant funds provided by Education Minnesota.
Lunch for teachers
: An opportunity to network informally with other immersion educators.
Lunch for administrators:
A moderated working session on collaborating across districts to increase the teacher applicant pool for immersion teaching positions.
Afternoon
: Teachers will be able to work within grade level teams to apply learning from the morning workshop in their classrooms.
Door prize at the end of the day
A drawing for a copy of Tara Fortune's new book,
Struggling Learners and Language Immersion Education:
Research-based, Practitioner-informed Responses to Educators’ Top Questions,
will take place at the end of the day. The winner must be present to claim the door prize.
