Friday, October 25, 2024
11:00 AM – 11:30 AM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Room 1501C
This presentation will cover conceptual research that explored EMI teaching challenges within social work national and international teaching environments. The presentation will offer a variety of innovative pedagogical approaches tailored to social work teaching and learning environments where some or all of the students’ first language is not English.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understanding EMI Challenges: Attendees will gain insight into the challenges posed by English-medium instruction (EMI) in social work education. These include the lack of integration of indigenous knowledge, and specific difficulties faced in regions where English is not the first language.
  2. Application of Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT): Attendees will develop an understanding of Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) as a pedagogical framework and its components, including caring for student experiences, adapting communication, integrating culture into the curriculum, and ensuring cultural congruity.
  3. Exploration of Innovative Pedagogical Approaches: Attendees will explore innovative pedagogical approaches tailored to social work educational environments with indigenous and diverse linguistic learners.
