Wed, May 29, 2013 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM IRVING K. BARBER LEARNING CENTRE. Free - Please Register. Consider the UBC student population: 79% speak two or more languages, and 50% speak English as their mother tongue. How can instructors draw the full academic potential out of our linguistically diverse students?
In this session, a panel of undergraduate and graduate students and a language coach in the Academic English Support program at UBC will share their experiences in the program to explore how the learning of EAL students can be best supported. The session invites audience from across disciplines and professional capacities to discuss how we all can work toward creating an inclusive teaching and learning environment for linguistically diverse students at UBC.
Location: Irving K. Barber Learning Centre Seminar Room 2.22A/B
