I'm looking forward to participating in this symposium on decolonial language pedagogies with some fabulous collaborators. If you'll be in Sydney on Monday, November 16, you should stop by; register here: bit.ly/4zAZn41.

A jpg of a poster announcing a conference entitled "Decolonial Language Pedagogies in Australian Higher Education." How might decolonial perspectives reshape language education in Australian universities? What does it mean to rethink the teaching of colonial languages within a settler-colonial context? How can language learning engage meaningfully with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledges, languages, and perspectives while encouraging critical reflection on colonial histories, Indigenous struggles, and the power relations that continue to shape languages and cultures across diverse global contexts? Join us for the first national one-day symposium exploring contemporary and emerging conversations at the intersection of languages education, decolonial thought, Indigenising curriculum, and socially responsive pedagogies in higher education. Bringing together perspectives from Spanish, French, Italian, and German Studies, the symposium offers an opportunity to engage with innovative research, connect with colleagues across institutions, and contribute to a growing national conversation about the future of languages education in Australian universities. Whether you teach, learn, research, lead, or work with languages in your community, we hope you’ll be part of the conversation. Featured speakers: - Dr Adriana Diaz, School of Languages and Cultures, The University of Queensland - Dr Maureen Gallagher, School of Literature, Languages and Linguistics, Australian National University - Dr Laura Lori, School of Languages and Linguistics, The University of Melbourne - Dr Macarena Ortiz-Jimenez, School of Languages and Cultures, The University of Sydney - Dr Clara Sitbon, School of Languages and Cultures, The University of Sydney Lunch will be provided.

Are we spending too much time teaching knowledge and skills, and not enough having students use them? On the podcast this week, Jay McTighe explains how to design performance assessments that challenge students to put their learning to work.

The goal isn’t to put students on the spot. It’s to give them something worth discovering about one another.

What question would get your class curious?
