Trainees will be conducting research into language policy, but they do not need any prior experience of the above headline concepts. The objective of the BIP is to help them understand their relevance to their research.
Through
the use of trainee pecha kucha presentations, the BIP will also give
trainees opportunities to showcase their own work and learn about each other’s
research. A followup virtual exercise will facilitate further dialogue –
requiring participants to link taught lecture content to the content of each
other’s pecha kuchas, in a collaborative online discussion forum. Altogether
this in turn will increase their presenting and networking skills.
