Language Education for a Changing World: the European Dimension
13 November 2010 Kings College London
NALDIC and Kings College London organised a joint conference to celebrate the launch of the Comenius funded project. NALDIC has made an active contribution to the development of this EU-wide project as a national partner. The project has developed the concept of ‘Inclusive Academic Language Teaching’ for bilingual pupils and will launch core curriculum modules for teacher education. The conference explored these concepts and showcased practical examples of work around initial teacher education for diversity and content/language integration.
