2. Tag der Fremdsprachenprüfung Berlin-Brandenburg

Here’s another event I’d like to alert you to:

Die Länderarbeitsgemeinschaft der Hochschullektor/innen Berlin Brandenburg
(mit freundlicher Unterstützung des Sprachenzentrums der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)
lädt ein zum:
2. Tag der Fremdsprachenprüfung Berlin-Brandenburg
Er findet am Samstag, den 28. Mai im Sprachenzentrum der HU Berlin (Dorotheenstrasse 65) statt.
Thema: Die Bewertung der mündlichen Leistung im Unterricht sowie in Prüfungen

If you’ve been feeling dissatisfied with the way oral production is being assessed, or unsure about how you’re going to do this yourselves, this should be the place to work on solutions. 🙂

Conference in Gdańsk

I’d like to draw your attention to an upcoming conference on the interface between teaching and linguistics hosted by the Institute of Pedagogy of the University of Gdańsk: https://www.educationalroleoflanguage.ug.edu.pl/communiqué. The deadline’s already expired, and many of you will probably be too busy to go anyway, but it’s nice to see that others are working on bridging the research gap in foreign languge teaching as well. Let’s hope there’ll be proceedings for us to read afterwards. 🙂

And let me encourage your to consider becoming conference-goers a bit later on in your careers. It never hurts to spend some time with international colleagues and see how things are done elsewhere.
