Multilingual Literacy Workshop
This forum brings together cultural researchers and those involved in teaching culture through language, to debate the role of language in literacy as an attribute of international competency. Presenters will address the role of language in their research, their teaching and more generally in their engagement with everyday life as Australian academics who support an ethos of internationalisation.
Presentations will consist of ten-minute short talks with respondents detailed in advance. The afternoon session comprises a panel of experts from the ARC funded Cultural Research Network, discussing the themes and priorities of multilingualism in research praxis.
The seminar seeks to identify research directions in literacy and cultural research that speak to the need to identify language-learning and cultural research as complementary projects.
