Professional Development Opportunities
We are thrilled to offer the following professional development opportunities for African language scholars and instructors.
Summer Institute for African Language Instructors
NALRC organizes an annual intensive summer institute for African language scholars and instructors. Funding is available for selected participants to attend on a competitive basis. Those who are not selected can still attend with support from their language programs. These institutes are led by experienced African language pedagogists or general language pedagogists and they serve as pre-service or in-service development programs for instructors.
Business In World Languages Workshop
The NALRC, in Collaboration with Indiana University, Bloomington's Center for International Business Education Research (IU-CIBER), and IU Title VI National Resource Centers (NRCs), is pleased to announce a workshop on incorporating Business Concepts in World Languages.
Pedagogy Research Workshop
The NALRC is pleased to present its inaugural Pedagogy Research Workshop. This summer workshop is a week-long program designed for African language instructors who are interested in research on African language pedagogy.
In-Semester Workshops
The NALRC offers hands-on workshops or seminars aimed at educating and training African language professionals on timely and evolving topics during the semester. We usually plan, organize, and execute these workshops in collaboration with various language-specific organizations in the field and ALTA.
