Details:
The International Language
in Education Conference (ILEC) 2001 will be held in the Tai Po Campus
of the Hong Kong
Institute of Education this year. ILEC is jointly organised
by the Hong Kong Institute of Education, the University of Hong
Kong and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and supported by the
HKSAR Education Department, the Hong Kong Association for Applied
Linguistics and the Hong Kong Association for Chinese Language in
Education.
The aim of ILEC is to
bring together researchers, curriculum developers, teachers, teacher
educators, and others involved in the teaching of English, Chinese
and other languages and/or in the use of these languages for teaching
and learning purposes. ILEC aims to bridge theory and practice and
provide an opportunity for participants to discuss language issues
in the full range of educational contexts: kindergarten, primary,
secondary, tertiary, vocational and adult education as well as language
teacher education.
The theme of ILEC 2001
is "Reflecting on Language in Education", and sub-themes
are "Language and Motivation", "Language Reform and
Implementation", "Language Teacher Education", "Immersion
Language Education", "Languages for Specific Purposes",
and "Languages on the Internet".
The Conference will place
special emphasis on the needs and interests of classroom practitioners,
with a strand where teachers in Hong Kong secondary and primary
schools as well as kindergartens can address practical classroom
issues by means of presentations, practicals or workshop sessions,
and share their experiences with colleagues and researchers. This
strand will run parallel to the rest of the programme for one day
on Saturday (15 December 2001). Teachers who join the Conference
from this point need to pay a lower registration fee of only HK$100
rather than the full registration fee.
