Description
This forum explores the processes of creating communities that support lifelong learning in diverse contexts, from COIL exchanges to the teaching of Japanese to refugees. Presenters will demonstrate how language learning environments can be powerful spaces for fostering inclusive communities through DEI awareness activities, such as identity collage sharing and storytelling circles. Exploratory practice will also be introduced as a way to allow students to reflect on their experiences and subjective well-being in language learning.
