Exploring linguistic diversity in Japan as a method to teach theories of bilingualism
This presentation has two goals: (1) to discuss common myths connected to notions of bilingualism in Japan and (2) to look at specific activities that can challenge these myths while effectively teaching about theories of bilingualism. The speaker will first explore the myths in relation to secondary research and her own experiences teaching theories of bilingualism in a Japanese university. Next, she will present sample activities that are not only interactive and engaging for students, but also contest myths surrounding bilingualism in Japan. The speaker looks forward to audience questions and discussion following the presentation.
By 'Zoom'. Link-up details will be posted on our homepage closer to the event.
