SUMMARY:Welcoming Every Learner: Supporting Multilingual Students in L+ Programs (English)
DESCRIPTION:Today’s additional language (L+) classrooms are more linguistically and culturally diverse than ever. Multilingual learners are often highly motivated to learn additional languages and tend to develop strong language proficiency in these programs\, yet teachers sometimes wonder how to best support them. This interactive workshop will unpack research and explore plurilingual pedagogical approaches that promote inclusive practices and empower multilingual learners in the classroom. The examples and research shared will draw primarily from French immersion and French as a second language contexts\, but the strategies and takeaways can be adapted across a range of L+ programs.

SUMMARY:When Oral Language Comes to Life: Speaking\, Interacting\, and Learning Additional Languages in Primary School (English)
DESCRIPTION:Oral language is a fundamental part of language learning. Intended for teachers working with primary school students in the context of additional language (L+) learning\, this workshop explores the central role of the spoken word in the language development of young learners. In order to develop both fluency and accuracy\, it is essential to explicitly teach the language elements necessary to achieve oral communication goals and to provide students with stimulating and meaningful learning opportunities. But how can we support the development of their language skills while encouraging them to speak up and interact with confidence? \nThis dynamic and interactive workshop will highlight the benefits of strategically integrating spontaneous oral language into learning contexts for an L+ in primary school. The proposed examples\, strategies\, and teaching paths will be grounded in French as a second language (FSL) contexts\, while being adaptable to other languages and various teaching contexts. Participants will explore a variety of practical strategies to create authentic situations where students can speak\, interact\, experience language\, and develop oral language confidence.
