51st RELC INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 2016, SINGAPORE
Teaching Literacies - Emerging Pathways and Possibilities in Language Education 14 – 16 March 2016
Teachers are constantly exploring new pedagogical approaches in an effort to engage learners and meet their divergent needs. Teaching practice has evolved to better respond to how learners learn, and this has led to the emergence of new pathways and possibilities for language learning. The theme, “Teaching Literacies…” has relevance for language education. Teaching as an enterprise must engage learners who are actively and creatively involved in directing their own learning.
From rural communities to the highly urbanized, the advent of information and communication technologies has left an indelible imprint on language education. The meaning of literacy has slowly changed. It has taken on new dimensions, incorporating a multi-literacies approach to pedagogy. Innovative teaching practices which integrate a focus on literacies-building can support learning. Regardless of language policies and language practice for educators and practitioners, education is ultimately aimed at giving learners the crucial literacy skills they need.
This Conference provides a platform for educators and language professionals to share their insights and practices as well as discuss current trends in the areas of literacy teaching, educational innovations and creative pedagogy.
The organizers invite submissions of papers that approach the conference theme from any of the two strands:
- Creative Pedagogies for Literacies
- Curriculum Design and Assessment of Literacies
