📢 Para profes de español en Irlanda

How can we better support heritage speakers of Spanish in mixed classrooms, where they learn alongside L2 learners?

On 27 June, join Inmaculada Gómez Soler, Diego Pascual y Cabo and Sonia Izquierdo Merinero at the Instituto Cervantes Dublin for a seminar on “Enseñanza a hablantes de herencia en contextos mixtos”, focused on understanding heritage learners’ linguistic profiles and exploring practical strategies for inclusive and effective teaching.

This is the first seminar of its kind in Ireland, and it is designed for teachers of Spanish as a foreign language, academic coordinators and teacher educators working in linguistically diverse contexts.
