The Language Centre Summer Conference 2021: Curriculum Conversations: Agency, Collaboration and Leadership
- Date
- Friday 30 July 2021
The Language Centre Summer Conference will be hosted by the University of Leeds Language Centre on July 30th, 2021. The conference will have a dedicated day for live sessions, accompanied by pre-recorded presentations with space to comment and exchange ideas asynchronously.
Online pedagogy at Leeds has transformed over the past year, foregrounding communication and collaboration between staff and students. It is, therefore, more crucial than ever to recognise the varied and vital perspectives practitioners bring to the classroom and our current working environments. Using conversations around curriculum as a base, we invite you to explore the intersection of agency, collaboration and leadership in EAP and language curricula.
Proposals may address one or more of the following categories but are not limited to them:
- Curriculum
- Agency
- Leadership
- Working collaboratively
- Assessment and feedback
- Theoretical frameworks and models
- Learner and/or teacher identity
- Interdisciplinarity
- Intercultural competence
- Research and scholarship
The following range of formats will be considered:
- Presentation (20 minute live + 10 minute live Q&A OR 20 minute recorded sessions + asynchronous comments on the conference team)
- Workshop (30 minute live/recorded sessions). This can be theoretical or practical
- Reflection (5-7 min video)Short videos reflecting and sharing ideas on any element of teaching practice.
Deadline for proposals: 5pm 16th June 2021. Please submit here
