Autonomia ucznia w nauczaniu języków obcych 2018

Katedra Filologii PWSZ w Koninie oraz

Zakład Filologii Angielskiej Wydziału Pedagogiczno-Artystycznego UAM w Kaliszu

zapraszają do udziału w 6. międzynarodowej konferencji na temat:

Autonomia ucznia w nauczaniu języków obcych – nauczanie sprawności i podsystemów językowych

Konin, 7-9 maja 2018 r.

Ogromne zainteresowanie tematyką autonomii w nauce języka obcego, którego dowodem był tak liczny udział pracowników naukowych, metodyków i nauczycieli w pięciu poprzednich konferencjach poświęconych temu zagadnieniu oraz popularność wydanych na ich podstawie prac monograficznych, sprawia, że podjęliśmy decyzję o zorganizowaniu kolejnego spotkania tego typu. Choć tematyka następnej konferencji będzie jak zwykle szeroka, chcielibyśmy tym razem zachęcić Państwa w szczególności do zastanowienia się nad możliwościami rozwijania samodzielności w przypadku nauki sprawności i podsystemów językowych. Jak w poprzednich latach, obrady odbywać się będą zarówno w języku polskim, jak i w języku angielskim. Więcej na temat konferencji znależć można na stronie domowej konferencji (przejdź).
