The Language & Interculturality Taster Workshops
Led by experts in their field, the Language and Interculturality Taster Workshops combine theory, practical exercises and a Q&A session. They are designed to introduce you to a concept, a field of expertise or a skill set linked to languages and interculturality.
Theme for the workshops’ first edition: Languages & Communication
Choose one or two of the three simultaneous interactive workshops on offer:
(1) French sign language, led by Marie Boccacio-Herz, storyteller, librarian and French sign language instructor
- Since 2005, French sign language has been recognised as its own language, and is currently used by 200,000 people every day.
- During this workshop, learn the basics of French sign language, in total silence, and immerse yourself in a world of silence and visual hubbub.
(2) English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI), led by Grazia Ghellini, head of pedagogical training in English for teaching staff for the internationalisation of teaching at Montpellier Management School and the Université des Sciences de Montpellier
- During this workshop, participants will be able to think about the challenges and advantages of lecturers teaching a discipline in English for whom English is not their mother tongue, and whose audience does not always speak English themselves.
- Participants will explore how they can tackle their own linguistic difficulties and those of their students, and which tools and strategies they can use to support students.
