SUMMARY:Connecting Language Learners to the World Outside: A Panel Discussion (French)
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. \nLanguage doesn’t exist in a vacuum\, so why should our language classrooms? Connecting language students to the real world in authentic and meaningful ways can be a highly motivating way to encourage learning. In 2020\, the recipients of two of CASLT’s Research and Special Initiatives Grants set out to explore different ways to connect their students to the outside world. Karen and Serena explored the development of intercultural understanding and awareness fostered among students participating in a virtual “Web Pals” language exchange. Laun and Ashleigh had their students interview fluent French speakers for a podcast to inspire them to be more engaged. Join our panel discussion to learn more about each of these projects and how you can implement their strategies in your own classroom. \nThe session will recorded and posted on the CASLT CoLab afterwards.

SUMMARY:Collective Resilience: Supporting and Engaging Language Teachers Through Communities of Care
DESCRIPTION:The Languages Without Borders (LWB) pre-conference is an opportunity to network and discuss current challenges and potential solutions in language education. The 2023 pre-conference will take place in person and will be recorded. \nLanguage teacher retention has been a longstanding challenge in Canada. Administrators and leaders feel a collective responsibility to take care of language teachers\, but how can they do so in a way that fosters a sense of collective resilience? Research consistently recognizes the importance of mentorship and communities of practice as vehicles to support language teacher retention\, but ongoing efforts to support and engage teachers require that our communities of practice also function as “communities of care.” What does this mean? How does one establish a community of care\, and what does it feel like to be part of one? This interactive panel session will address these questions and consider possibilities for collective resilience in language education. Our panelists bring together a wealth of knowledge and experience in language teacher identity\, communities of practice\, and mentorship. They will guide participants through the creation of a community of care while discussing ideas and strategies for supporting and engaging language teachers. Participants will leave the session with practical ideas and takeaways for building and supporting communities of care within their own contexts. \nRegistration Fees Transportation and Accommodations
