FATFA Conference
C'est avec grand plaisir que nous vous invitons à participer à notre prochain congrès, qui aura lieu à Brisbane en 2020.
Making Connections: Engaging 21st Century Learners of French in the Pacific
3rd - 5th July 2020 – Emmanuel College, University of Queensland, Brisbane
How do we and how can we teach French here and now in ways which engage diverse groups of learners?
This conference invites reflection on the theme of engaging learners of French in the contexts in which we teach. We invite proposals for presentations and workshops on:
· Connecting with French speaking communities (in our local context or elsewhere)
· Teaching French as a regional language of the Pacific
· Retention; attrition; barriers and enablers to participation in language education
· Learner motivation
· Inclusivity and teaching diverse groups of learners
· Engaging non-traditional learners
· Work-Integrated learning
· Teaching French in an age of technology
Please note that although our inspiration is the Australian curriculum, we are interested to hear about projects carried out in other contexts which relate to the theme of learner engagement
The conference organizing committee invites proposals for:
Papers (20 minutes + 10 minutes of questions)
· Individual presentations of research or practice + 10 minutes for questions
· Panels of three papers dealing with the same theme
In your proposal, please indicate:
if it is primarily presenting research, practice-based research or practice
your av requirements (powerpoint projection; internet)
Workshops (60 minutes or 90 minutes)
