Listen to the Music, Share the Stories, Live the Culture!
Ecoutez la musique, partagez les histoires, vivez la culture!
What a pleasure to invite and welcome you to the 2012 OMLTA/AOPLV conference. Registration and workshop details can be found on our Conference page.
As the soil, however rich it may be cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit.
Can you ever imagine learning a language without Culture? Culture only reinforces and consolidates everything that you learn of that language. In fact, I think it’s the best part of learning a language. I remember early in my second language learning spending time in Quebec and France. The music, the art, the travel and of course the food, it all made it so real for me. So, I hope at the conference this year, you will find the time to Listen to the Music, Share your stories and Live the Culture!
This year, I am thrilled to welcome our keynote speaker, Jowi Taylor. Jowi will be be speaking to the Culture that he has been sharing across Canada with his “Voyageur”, the Six String Nation Guitar. Please do not miss out on this event at our Friday luncheon!
I invite you to take the time to choose the sessions that will enhance your teaching of Culture in the classroom. There are so many wonderful sessions that are provided this year by numerous teachers across Ontario. I want to thank all the educators that submitted workshop proposals and that will be presenting this year.
