Conference From Research to Practice in the Language Classroom and vice-versa

2024-06-28

Registration and programme information for the conference From Research to Practice in the Language Classroom and vice-versa, that is taking place at the Fribourg University of Teacher Education on 6-7 September 2024, are until 1st August available.

This multilingual conference is organized by The Centre for Foreign Language Teaching (CeDiLE), the Language Education Expert Group at the Zurich University of Teacher Education and the Institute of Multilingualism in Fribourg. 

The conference aims to open a space of discourse to exchange knowledge and challenges between teacher education, classroom practice, and research, bringing people from the following backgrounds together:

  • Research (language teaching methodology, language acquisition and linguistics).
  • Foreign, second and heritage language education, CLIL, immersion classes, etc.
  • Teacher education.
  • Anyone with an interest in the conference topic.

The invited plenary speakers are:

- Sabine Doff (Universität Bremen)

- Isabelle Udry (Institute of multilingualism and PH Zürich)

Besides project presentations, there will be a round table about How can research findings be made accessible to practitioners? And the other way round, how can practitioners transmit to researchers the imminent challenges they face and their solutions they have tested in the field? Finally, two workshops are organized.
