Workshop: Distance Learning in Tetun
The Timor-Leste Studies Initiative, with generous support from the Henry Luce Foundation, the Southeast Asia Council’s (SEAC) Indonesia and the Timor-Leste Studies Committee (ITLSC) at the Association of Asian Studies (AAS), will be holding a pre-conference workshop online on the 18th and 19th March 2021 (Dili, Timor-Leste time – for time converter click here)
The workshop includes two panels:
The first panel on ‘Tetun-language learning for international scholars and students’ will take place on Thursday, March 18th, 8.30h to 12.00h (Dili, Timor-Leste time). This panel focuses on one of the five priority areas identified by participants in previous TLSI workshops in Toronto (2017), Washington (2018) and Online (2020). We have gathered experts in the field of Tetun-language learning and teaching to explore teaching Tetun as a less commonly taught Asian language through distance learning. After a short break, the presentations and discussion will be followed by a smaller planning session with invited speakers and representatives from North American Institutions to discuss ways of promoting Tetun-Language training in North, Central and South American Colleges and Universities.
The second panel on ‘Gender and Sexuality in Timor-Leste‘ will take place on Friday, March 19th, 08.30h to 12.00h (Dili, Timor-Leste time). This panel aims to explore issues of gendered behaviour, roles, relations, attitudes and perceptions in contemporary society in Timor-Leste.
