  • 22 November 2022: Nuggets and Bits: MULTILA learning nuggets created by our South Africa working group were featured in this week's edition of BildungsBitsthe professional development series hosted by PH-Heidelberg's Professional School. In the latest BildungsBit, Prof. Karin Vogt used the MULTILA learning nuggets to show how the integration of new assessment formats can help secondary school teachers of foreign languages to align student learning, real-life digital (net)working and classroom-based assessment.
     
  • 17 October 2022: Face to Face: Prof. Karin Vogt and Prof. Bassey Antia are meeting in person (hooray!) at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa this week. High on their agenda for this week#s MULTILA-related meetings are the forthcoming volume of essays on multilingualism they are editing, and the collection of learning nuggets produced by MUTILA team members at UWC and at the PH-Heidelberg.
     
  • 29 July 2022: South African working group: We are pleased to announce the institution of our project’s South Africa working group, comprising six postgraduate students at the University of the Western Cape. These valuable group members will contribute to our growing collection of independent learning units, so-called learning nuggets, on the topic of multilingualism. Their learning nuggets will draw upon South African perspectives on multilingualism as a normal, everyday phenomenon.
     
  • 23 June 2022: Fruitful seminar: The students in Karin Vogt's Multilingualism and Multilingual Assessment seminar at the PH-Heidelberg have been bringing their wonderfully rich and diverse experiences with multilingualism to bear in meaningful collaborative discussions. They're working on Powtoon-based instructional videos that can be integrated into the MULTILA project's web-based dissemination efforts.
     
  • 20 April 2022: Work in Progress: Members of the MULTILA team are busy using Powtoon to create digital learning nuggets - bite-sized video-based morsels of information, explanation and consolidation related to multingual assessment. These will be made available in future to pre-service and in-service teachers interested in expanding their knowledge base and competencies in this field. Would you like to have access to our learning nuggets once they're published?
