Multilingual Cafe (OLE SIG)

Event Speaker(s): 
Monika Szirmai, Gabriela Schmidt
Thursday, February 25, 2021 - 7:30pm to 9:00pm

The Multilingual Cafe of OLE SIG offers this time a special focus. The meeting will provide an opportunity to encounter Hungarian Language and Culture in the first half. In the second half we are going to use ZOOM with breakout rooms for the different languages. Languages may differ each time depending on the participants.
In January, we offered French, German, Spanish, Tagalog, Portuguese, Persian, Russian, and Hungarian. The rationale behind it is that JALT OLE SIG wants to provide a space to meet and share using languages other than English, creating a community of practice. This is the Multilingual Café: meet and chat in your favorite language. The languages available depend on the participants at the event depending on what languages the participants might speak. What is your favorite language? This event will be held regularly, sometimes focusing on one language sometimes with various languages. Interested? You are welcome to join! Lingua Franca are English and Japanese. – For more details see (https://sites.google.com/view/jalt-olesig/). Please use the signup form "Multilingual Cafe" below behind the Online Meeting Link. You will get the link the day before the meeting. (This event is posted through CEFR & LP SIG (supporting plurilingual repertoires), but it is for OLE SIG !!!)
