(Digital) Pedagogy Meet-Up: Kick-Off Meeting Monday, Oct. 24
The (Digital) Pedagogy Meet-Up will explore how to expand pedagogical practices through digital components and other methodologies for world language learning. Each meet-up will cover discussions on the implementation of alternative resources that have a potential impact in current teaching practices.
