2021 VATI Webinars/Presentations - Topic suggestion and expression of interest

Given the still uncertain and volatile nature of Covid restrictions, we have felt it too risky to return to our "traditional" form of face-to-face Congress.

In its place we plan to offer a series of webinars and presentations over the period of April - October on issues, topics and themes that would not normally be covered in a Conference.

We are asking you to indicate presentations and presenters that you would like us to consider for the program. Suggestions for student activites are also sought.

Please click on this link and complete the form.

The following is a working list of activities which we already intend on covering:

• Language maintenance classes for teachers
• A language immersion activity for teachers
• VCE Mock Exam
• VCE Exam Preparation Day for students

Thank you for your time and we are looking forward to your illuminating suggestions.
