Student-Led Language Exploration and Other Possibilities for Learning Beyond the Curriculum (IALLT webinar)
webinar by Carol GossAs course offerings shrink with programs under threat, how can language centers facilitate language practice and continue meeting student needs and interests? Learn how one small center has embraced informal language groups, led by student volunteers and driven entirely by student interests. We’ll examine how these interest groups work and highlight the value of students leading students in language exploration. Beyond this particular model, we’ll exchange views on other relevant, and perhaps strategic, approaches to co-curricular learning that centers might pursue, such as intercultural assessment and learning.

Language Policy, (Anti-)Racism, and Change
webinar by Jeff BaleThis session begins with findings from a policy genealogy (Gale, 2001) of the Heritage Languages Program (HLP) in Ontario and the racialized conflicts over it between 1977–1987. Heritage-language education policies emerged across Canada in the 1970s, just after federal policies for official bilingualism (1969) and multiculturalism (1971) were established. As Haque (2012) argues, official bilingualism was only possible by excluding demands of Indigenous and other racialized communities for their own linguistic and cultural rights. The HLP challenged the logic of official bilingualism, and thus became the site of extended, racialized conflicts over fundamental questions of (1) whose language and culture ...
