Language Matters: Teaching Content Across Languages

 

With a focus on expanding content-based instruction (CBI) in multiple languages at NYUAD and beyond, this symposium brings participants together to explore current theoretical approaches to content and language integration; to workshop content-based courses in languages other than English; and to learn strategies for incorporating target-language content into pre-existing English-medium courses. Scholars with expertise in Chinese, Arabic, French, and English-medium pedagogy join faculty from NYU’s global network to share insights into language and content integration in multilingual settings, including tips for innovative course design and lesson planning.

Convened by

• Madeleine Wolf, Visiting Assistant Professor of French Studies, NYUAD
• Jing Chai, Affiliated Senior Lecturer of Chinese Language, NYUAD & NYUSH
• Corinne Stokes, Senior Lecturer of Arabic, NYUAD
