Workshop session: Creating Inclusive Teaching Materials in Japanese/Korean Linguistics

A pre-recorded video on the guidance for creating inclusive teaching materials will be available by 15th September. Accessibility of teaching materials is important for supporting disabled students and other student groups such as international students and socio-economically disadvantaged students, but the materials with accessible design will eventually benefit all learners.

We recommend that you improve your teaching materials (e.g., handouts, slides, or any other materials) following the guidance. There will be a session where you can share your materials with colleagues for feedback on further improvement. The exact format will depend on the number of participants. If you would like to partipate, please register to the workshop by 20th September.

Please note that this workshop is specifically desinged for teaching Japanese/Korean Linguistics, not for teaching a language. However, we are more than happy to discuss any materials relevant to linguistics teaching (e.g., presenting written script in Japanese/Korean).


This workshop is organised by Hae-Sung Jeon, Xi Chen and Chisa Matsukawa at the University of Central Lancashire, UK. If you have any questions, please contact Hae-Sung (HJeon1@uclan dot ac dot uk).
