Seminars
We delivered seminars for both pre- and in-service teachers of English in Diyarbakır in March 2020 as the first part of the project. Teachers who have a National Ministry of Education certificate for working with English Language teacher candidates and teachers who work in remote parts of the region (e.g., villages) were given priority. A total of 130 participants (English teachers & pre-service teachers of English at Dicle University) attended the seminars. The seminars featured an introduction to the concept of "Linguistic Landscapes", its theoretical background, the potential of LL for language classes, and why/how to integrate LL into English language classrooms through the pedagogical model of "Bridging Activities Framework". Teachers and teacher candidates were also encouraged to develop their own LL-Based practices and participate in the upcoming symposium.
