BC TEAL is proud to present our 2025 Annual Conference: Disruptive Educational Practices: Strategies for Transformation.

Educators shine in times of change to face unexpected challenges. This is when creativity flourishes by combining proven practices with fresh and innovative ideas. These times call for transformation which can be rooted in tradition or experience, or it can arise through unexplored approaches. The synthesis of old and new ideas drives meaningful progress. Join other insightful and creative educators as we flourish within the power of our community.

National LINC Online Curriculum for Stage I
Friday May 2, 2025 2:00pm - 2:45pm PDT
TBA
This presentation will showcase a recently launched, innovative online courseware: The National LINC Online Curriculum (NLOC), funded by IRCC.  Developed for the Language Instruction to Newcomers to Canada (LINC) Program, this courseware fills a language learning gap for self-directed, asynchronous learning, offering off-the-shelf, comprehensive eLearning units that learners can do anytime, anywhere. The presentation will explain and demonstrate how the courseware can be used asynchronously, in blended learning, and in synchronous in-class settings.


This courseware includes the principles and best practices for a PBLA-aligned curriculum, incorporating real-world tasks, prior knowledge and experience, skill-building activities, skill-using and assessment tasks, and reflection. The presentation will walk attendees through some of the content to demonstrate how it is organized across 21st century themes. It will also outline how activities are designed to take learners on a journey to coherently build skills and strategies needed for integration in work, education and community.  


75 NLOC eLearning units across CLBs 3-5 are currently accessible through the course builder on avenue.ca, with brand new eLearning units to come over the next three years.  Attendees will appreciate how eLearning units have a consistent and intuitive look and feel for seamless use and integration. Accessibility and specialized content are top priorities for this project. Likewise, incorporating the principles of universal design and weaving topics distinct to Canada (ex. Indigenization, Francophone Perspectives, Inclusivity) are also evident across the courseware.   In this presentation, instructors will be familiarized to all elements of the eLearning and get the chance to preview and demo some activities in a group.
