The Human Side of Language
Language is more than words. It is connection, identity, cognition, emotion, and belonging. Behind every word is a person, and behind every learner is a unique story.
On October 3rd, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, join us for The Human Side of Language, a morning dedicated to exploring the human processes behind language learning and education.
Through inspiring talks and plenary sessions, Rodolfo Mattiello will explore the relationship between language and cognition, while Paulo Torres will invite us to reflect on The Power of Not Yet, exploring growth, possibility, and the ways we can help learners move beyond “I can’t” towards “I can’t… yet.”
