On the Potential of Teacher Education in CALL: Thoughts and Becomings
Nov 18, 2016 — 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
The Canadian Centre for Studies and Research on Bilingualism and Language Planning (CCERBAL) warmly invites you to its next research forum about On the Potential of Teacher Education in CALL: Thoughts and Becomings presented by Francis Bangou
Abstract
This presentation is the actualization of experimentation with a novel way to apprehend the complexity of the interrelationships between teacher education and Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) with the ontology of Gilles Deleuze & Felix Guattari (1987). This experimentation will be guided by the following question: How might teacher education in CALL live? However, the goal of this presentation is not so much to provide answers but rather to open of space to think differently about teacher education in CALL and maybe see things that we did not see before.
Francis Bangou
Associate Professor in Second Language Education at the University of Ottawa.
Francis Bangou's research is inspired mainly by the work of the post-structural thinkers Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, and Michel Foucault and focuses on the adaptation of second language teachers and learners to unfamiliar teaching and learning environments, the teaching of the language of schooling in official-language minority contexts, and the implementation of information and communication technologies in second language teacher education.
