Event Speaker(s): 
Timothy Ang
Wednesday, November 30, 2022 - 7:30pm to 9:00pm

The next Multilingual Cafe (OLE SIG) is scheduled for Wednesday November 30th, 2022 from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm and will be held online. -
Timothy Ang, an IEFL (Instructor of English as a Foreign Language) at Kwansei Gakuin University will present on Hokkien, a dialect of southern Min Chinese that is also spoken in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and the Philippines.

The 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 those attending on the day (for example French, German, Spanish, Thai, Hungarian, Chinese, Tagalog, Japanese and many more). After a short presentation we will meet in breakout rooms where different languages are used for further discussions. (Lingua Franca: English and Japanese)
We meet online using zoom, please sign-up for receiving the zoom-credentials.
