PSIRG Annual Meeting

Online via Zoom
May 26, 2021 — All day

Annual meeting

The Covid19 pandemic has had and continues to have an impact on the activities of all University-level immersion stakeholders – administrators, researchers, teachers, practitioners or students.

Fifteen months of immersion in a pandemic context: what now?

This virtual PSIRG get-together, entitled Fifteen months of pandemic: what now?, seeks first to look back at the repercussions on our research, conferences, classroom practices, and also to look towards the future and reflect on the perspectives created by these new circumstances. The event will focus on three aspects:

Research : The book launches, publications, and conference presentations by PSIRG members that were rescheduled or otherwise affected by the pandemic
Pedagogy: A panel of language support classes instructors in the French Immersion Stream discussing adapting to the online/ distance context
Immersion in English: First, a panel of language support classes instructors discussing language support classes for international students at the Telfer School of Management; then a pre-recorded presentation by guest speaker David Lasagabaster on team teaching between language and content teachers in English-medium instruction; and finally, a presentation of uOttawa’s pilot project in Immersion in English by the Director of the French Immersion Stream.
