SUMMARY:21st Century Learning to Support Access\, Achievement\, Equity\, and Empowerment in a Secondary FSL Context (English)
DESCRIPTION:Technology and digital resources are important in FSL\, but they won’t impact student engagement and achievement on their own. In this webinar we will explore how to shift educator mindsets about what teaching for the 21st century looks and sounds like and how to create inclusive learning experiences for students in FSL. We will learn how this shift changes the role of the classroom teacher from “master teacher” to “master learner.” In both digital and in-class learning environments\, the “master learner” curates learning experiences that centre student voice\, choice\, and lived experience in the process of learning.

SUMMARY:Exploring an Anti-Oppressive Pedagogical Framework Centred on Student Identity\, Linguistic Needs\, and Social Justice (French)
DESCRIPTION:Inclusive pedagogy focuses on students’ evolving identities and language acquisition needs. It reflects both authentic and action-oriented learning of French as a second/additional language. Through a broader definition of the term “text\,” this teaching practice values the spiral of language acquisition. It prioritizes oral communication\, which is then linked directly to reading and writing in context\, in order to implement anti-racist\, anti-oppressive\, and anti-colonial teaching practices. \nThis workshop is designed for FSL teachers and administrators. It will aim to bridge educational theory and practice through concrete examples of pedagogical scenarios.

SUMMARY:Nos voix communes ver l'avenir (ACPI 2022 Annual Conference)
DESCRIPTION:L’Association canadienne des professionnels de l’immersion (ACPI) est heureuse de vous accueillir à son 45e congrès dans la capitale nationale du Canada\, la ville d’Ottawa. \nHistoriquement\, l’identité régionale d’Ottawa a été influencée par de nombreuses cultures\, notamment les Premières Nations\, les Français\, les Anglais\, les Écossais et les Irlandais. La ville d’Ottawa est située sur le territoire ancestral de la nation algonquine des Anishinaabes. Comme plusieurs rivières se rejoignent ici\, la région était un couloir de transport actif pour une diversité étonnante de groupes autochtones et de voyageurs. Nos voix communes vers l’avenir\, c’est rassembler toutes les voix qui composent la riche diversité de notre pays d’aujourd’hui pour façonner l’éducation de demain. \nDu 3 au 5 novembre 2022\, des professionnels de partout au Canada se rencontreront le temps de quelques jours pour prendre une bonne bouffée d’inspiration\, tout en profitant d’un développement professionnel de haut niveau\, leur permettant ainsi d’être à l’affût des dernières tendances est pédagogie immersive.

SUMMARY:Ditch the Textbook: A Panel Discussion on Leveraging Technology to Centre Diverse Perspectives in the L+ Classroom (English)
DESCRIPTION:With the COVID-19 pandemic\, technology has come to play a vital role in language classrooms. As part of our mission to support second language teachers and teaching throughout Canada\, CASLT is hosting a series of Online Professional Learning webinars exploring the role of technology in language teaching and learning. \nTechnology connects us to a seemingly unlimited variety of authentic resources from diverse perspectives. How do we know which resources to use? How can we ensure that they are appropriate for our learners? This interactive session will focus on practical\, easy-to-implement strategies for leveraging technology to highlight traditionally marginalized voices in the additional language classroom. Ditch the textbook and move away from the limited worldviews of classic literature to ensure that diverse voices are intentionally represented in your classroom.

SUMMARY:The Contradiction of Being a French L+ Teacher: Issues to Consider to Support Immersion Teachers (English)
DESCRIPTION:The French immersion faculty is evolving. While it was once predominantly composed of people with French as their dominant language (L1)\, a recent study by ACPI (2019) points out that\, in fact\, the majority of today’s French immersion teachers outside of Quebec speak French as an additional language (L+). For those who work in their non-dominant language\, the experience can include feelings that are complex and sometimes contradictory. \nThe powerful experience of learning French in immersion is what makes a career in immersion appealing to so many graduates of the program. That being said\, the decision to teach in immersion is often accompanied by a certain amount of stress that arises as these teacher-graduates attempt to integrate into the immersion language community. These feelings go beyond personal linguistic insecurity to concerns around legitimately belonging to the immersion language community. \nDespite a desire to belong\, new French L+ teachers can feel a strong sense of non-belonging when the only aspects of linguistic identity that are considered are accent and French-language proficiency. Teacher-graduates seek to assert their contributions to the immersion program and to have a voice within this community. Collectively\, we need to reflect on our perception of what defines the legitimacy of L+ teachers and ask ourselves how our perception of this legitimacy can affect their access to this community. \nThis workshop will explore the complexities of bilingual life through the story of a French immersion teacher and suggest ways to support the legitimacy of bilingual teachers. \nThe session will recorded and posted on the CASLT CoLab afterwards.
