Building on the ‘Embracing Linguistic Diversity’ event in April 2021, the Centre for Excellence in Language Teaching invites you to join us on Wednesday 9th February 14:00 – 16:00 for an online event on the theme of ‘Pedagogies of the Colloquial Register in Language Teaching and Learning’. The event will explore the place of colloquialism and everyday language in academia. Is our language teaching in HE focused only on academic register? (How) can the colloquial register be integrated in the university language class and curriculum?
