[Socrates] Teaching Foreign Languages to Immigrant Students in Insecure Times, March 2

[Jean Kelly]

​Recent proposals to reverse immigration policies are creating a climate of insecurity among immigrant communities and negatively impacting segments of the students we teach. Heightened pedagogical awareness and the application of cultural sensibilities toward the learning needs of students experiencing increased vulnerability are needed now more than ever. 

This workshop aims to share recent pedagogical research on teaching immigrant communities, specifically as it applies to foreign language instruction, and deliver experiential strategies and a suite of exercises that are immediately applicable to the foreign language and intensive writing classroom.

Workshop Moderators:
Elena Mancini, European Languages & Literatures, Queens College
Federica Franzé, Department of Italian, Columbia University 

Date: Friday, March 2, 2018
Time: 12:00 pm to 3:30 pm
Location: President’s Conference Room 1, Rosenthal Library, Fifth Floor
