As part of the India/UK Together, a Season of Culture we invite you to a panel discussion focusing on the role of culture in language learning. We will discuss the concept of culture in language learning, the opportunities for policy intervention and classroom practices that celebrate diversity. Panelists will share their own experiences in this moderated discussion which will be accompanied by interaction with the audience.
The event will also include insights from research commissioned by the British Council and conducted by Cambridge Partnership for Education. The research, An analysis of cultural representations of India and the UK in English subject curricula, determined the extent to which the other country is represented and what form this representation takes, particularly in relation to diversity and contemporary life.
