International Communication and Interaction: Play with Languages
-
24 – 28 July 2023
- MU Language Centre, Komenského nám. 2, Brno, Czech Republic
The Summer School International Communication and Interaction: Play with Languages is designed for students, teachers, and lecturers at universities and Higher Education institutions who want to
- make effective use of their linguistic repertoire;
- develop their plurilingual competence at A2-B1 level of CEFR
- adopt intercomprehension strategies
The summer school aims to acquaint participants with a variety of tools and approaches that will help them:
- to call upon the knowledge of familiar languages to understand new languages
- to work with partial competence in several languages to achieve particular communicative goals
- to express themselves in one language and understand the other
- to look for cognates and internationalisms in order to make sense of texts in unknown languages
- to respond by incorporating elements of other languages and/or variations of languages in his/her own discourse for communication purposes
- to exploit paralinguistics (mime, gesture, facial expression, etc.)
The Summer School offers you a truly plurilingual experience: plurilingualism is there as a tool, a learning goal, and content to learn at the same time. You will be exposed to French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Czech and German. The workshops will help you gain a practical insight into how plurilingual competence works and will foster your abilities to solve the situations dealing with languages you are not very familiar with.
The Summer School include workshops such as:
- Explore your plurilingual self
- Cultural Patterns
- Survival Czech
- C’est là que gît le lièvre: Idioms and Metaphors
- Creative Microactivities
- Plurilingual and Pluricultural Mediation
- Migrating Words
