MLTAV Languages Conference 2024
Keynote Speakers
Dr Matt Harrison
Dr Matt Harrison, Senior Lecturer in Learning Intervention at the University of Melbourne, will present the opening keynote address.
Every classroom is neurodiverse: every student (and teacher) will have a different way of thinking, feeling and learning. New research into ways we can support neurodivergent students AND teachers in our schools suggests there are benefits for everybody. In his keynote address, Matt will explore how our differences can be recognised, understood, harnessed and celebrated in our Languages classrooms.
Dr David Marsh
Dr David Marsh, is an internationally renowned expert on educational innovation, strategy and practice who coordinated the launch of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) through the auspices of the European Commission in the 1990s. He will present a keynote after lunch titled New Insights into Enhancing Inclusion in Language Learning: The Case of Physical and Psychological Space.
Advances in research on languages, mind and brain, alongside recent studies on the wellbeing of youngsters, is driving discussion on if and how innovative practices could play a role in further improving the learning of languages for all. This presentation describes what is being done through adapting “learning spaces and methodologies” to realise language learners’ best potential.
