SUMMARY:Colloquium: The native speaker in language education
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:What exactly is a _native speaker_? What beliefs and assumption
 s\nunderlie the educational aim of native speaker competence? And are\nnat
 ive speakers better language teachers? To what extent can\nalternative not
 ions such as the “intercultural speaker” (Byram)\,\n“symbolic compet
 ence” (Kramsch)\, or “transcultural and\ntranslingual competence” (M
 LA) help address the problem of\nnative-speakerism? And what implications
  do these discussions have for\nclassroom language teaching?\n\nThese and 
 other questions will be discussed at the Native Speaker\nColloquium.
