We will explore answers to questions such as how can we accommodate the multilingual profile of learners in the classroom, how learners / teachers may benefit from translanguaging practices in the classroom, or in what ways discriminatory behaviour and stereotyping speakers based on their L1/Lx, accent or the way they write and talk can be problematised and avoided.Aims:
You will:
- gain a deeper understanding of the social, cultural, and educational conditions of a multilingual and heterogenous classroom in and beyond English language education
- develop the ability to reflect and critically question key issues about language(s) for your own pedagogical praxis
- become familiar with and apply theoretical and methodological foundations in researching multilingual language educationMethod of the course:
*This course is blocked and hybrid, with digital sessions via Zoom and in-person sessions on days as indicated in October, November and December. The course will be taught on days as indicated in the timeline.*This course is based on themes that are introduced via short lectures and based on key readings. It combines readings, practice-based activities, joint discussions, group work, and individual research work leading to a presentation and final written paper (either a bachelor paper or a research report).For the bachelor paper (9 ECTS points in total), students will write up their research project and discuss the theoretical and pedagogical implications of their planned research. Students who are not writing their bachelor paper in this course (5 ECTS points in total) will write a VK report, based on a literature review of one of the themes covered in the course. All students will give mini-presentations on their project work on Friday + Saturday, 15-16 December 2023.
