to 18 May

Multilingualism: Philosophy, Policy and Practice - IBED - Cat 3 - Virtual

RECOMMENDED FOR:

Heads of School, Coordinators, IB teachers and support staff across all IB programmes


Please note this workshop will be delivered virtually.


Workshop Overview:

This workshop allows participants to explore how language, in general, is inextricably linked with each learner’s identity and sense of self, and how multilingualism shapes the learner’s experience of the world. Participants are invited to investigate how school communities live in and grow through a plurality of languages that shape everyday interactions; and how this constitutes the shared and deeply personal texture of all learning experiences. This awareness guides participants in exploring the role of multilingualism in teaching and learning, how language policies taking multilingualism into account can foster intercultural awareness, understanding and respect; and how this perspective can help school communities grow as IB learning communities. 

Participants will explore how:

  • Language learning and development supports multilingualism as a fact, right and resource for learning .

  • A school’s culture and environment impacts language development, learning and multilingualism. 

  • Multilingualism and language development are central to the aims of an IB education. 

  • The language tenets inform and impact language policies and pedagogical approaches across the school. 

Practical applications:

This workshop investigates the central role of language and multilingualism in IB schools, and how this informs all aspects of the life of the school community: school leaders and programme coordinators will cultivate a vision of the role of multilingualism in an IB learning community and how this informs the development of a language policy; teachers will gain tools to use multilingualism as a resource to foster learning when developing and implementing the IB curriculum; media specialists and librarians will explore the resources that can support multilingual teaching and learning in an IB school.

RECOMMENDED FOR:

PYP educators, coordinators, librarians/media specialists and specialist teachers, who wish to learn more about designing and teaching for conceptual understanding in a transdisciplinary and inquiry-based learning environment.


Please note this workshop will be delivered virtually.


Workshop Overview:

How might we intentionally design and teach for conceptual understanding within a transdisciplinary and inquiry-based context? Developing conceptual understanding enables learners to access many kinds of knowledge and develop understanding from multiple sources and diverse perspectives. In this workshop, participants will explore how:

  • Conceptual understanding is central to the aims of an IB education.

  • Conceptual understanding is developed through the pedagogical approaches to teaching to support transdisciplinary learning within, across and beyond subjects.

  • The programme of inquiry and the PYP collaborative planning process frame opportunities that enable designing and teaching for conceptual understanding that connects meaningfully to the learner and the learning community.

  • Concepts play a critical role in organizing, designing and planning curriculum and learning.

Together, this creates opportunities for learners to make connections, transfer and apply skills, knowledge, and understandings to new and different contexts in creative, generative, agentic and dynamic ways. This workshop provides tools and strategies that enhance conceptual understanding leading to depth and rigour in thinking within, between and across subjects both inside and outside the programme of inquiry.
