Symposium
Digital Symposium on Linguistic Landscapes in Second Language Teaching and Learning (L2TL) Contexts took place on December 17. The event marked the completion of the LLinELTProject and featured talks by international speakers as well as presentations by English language teachers and teacher candidates. This event was organized as part of the Linguistic Landscapes in English Language Teaching (LLinELT) intercontinental project, which was developed as a result of the collaboration of Dicle University (Turkey) and Texas Christian University (Texas, United States) and funded by the U.S. Embassy Turkey grant program. The project aimed to present opportunities for teachers and teacher candidates to learn and practice integrating LL-based materials into their classes, and thus create a safe atmosphere for learners to discuss a wide array of issues from global citizenship and English as a Lingua Franca, to translanguaging/language play, and engage them in meaningful real-life tasks.
