Online Workshop: Inclusive Pedagogies in Languages Education 🌏
🗓 Monday 31 August 2026 | 9:00am–3:15pm | Online via Zoom

Every classroom is neurodiverse — every student learns, thinks, and communicates differently. This full-day online workshop explores how inclusive pedagogies can recognise, harness, and celebrate these differences to support safe, happy, and successful language learning for all students.

Join this online workshop to:
- Hear from Languages teachers about practical inclusive strategies supporting neurodivergent learners
- Explore key resources and information on Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) including Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Autism, and ADHD
- Network, collaborate, and plan how inclusive strategies can be embedded into your own programs

💬 Feedback from our June workshop:
"The online/offline format of this workshop was great - it was beneficial to have time online together to learn and then to pause and reflect to let the ideas ‘brew’ for a little and think about how we can implement these ideas and make changes to suit our learners."

"This workshop helped me better understand neuro-diverse students and realise that there are many strategies available to support these students to develop a love of languages."

"I appreciated the chance to reflect on a lot of practices I’ve used in the past, refreshing and refining them for the current cohort of students and VLTM2.0."

Pricing: $175 (LTV members) | $250 (non-members)
