Venue: Language Lounge, University of Liverpool
Speaker: Prof Nicola McLelland, Department of Modern Languages and Cultures, University of Nottingham
Organiser: Dr Ulrike Bavendiek
Why have people learned languages in the past, which languages have they learned and what exactly is it that they have learned? How have approaches, methods and techniques in language teaching and learning changed and what does that tell us about the linguistic understanding at the time?
In her talk ‘The History of Language Learning and Teaching’ our guest speaker Prof Nicola from the University of Nottingham delved into the past and offered a fascinating insight into changing political and cultural representations, social contexts and educational policies at different times.
The talk opened the second semester seminar series: Methods and Techniques in Language Teaching.
