Members of the Hub for Education and Language Diversity (HELD) are delighted to invite you to the next seminar in our series.
Feedback from our first two seminars – on multilingual repertoires and language ideologies – suggested that a lot of people were interested in further exploration of the relationship between this kind of sociolinguistics and teacher education.
In this seminar, we propose to explore the opportunities offered by participatory approaches (e.g. those taken up by groups such as English for Action) for language teacher education and CPD. The session will itself be participatory. Attendees will be engaged in activities to pool their existing knowledge about participatory approaches and to discuss the affordances and challenges of approaching teaching and learning in this way. We hope to include experiences from all sectors – primary, secondary, FE and HE – as well as programmes such as CELTA and DELTA.
We will also have a panel to discuss the issues which emerge in the course of our discussion.

- Professor Ben Rampton (Professor of Sociolinguistics, King's)
- Lucy Henning (Primary education, University of Roehampton)
