Interlinguistic Pedagogical Exchanges (ILPE)
Interlinguistic Pedagogical Exchanges (ILPE) is an informal yet professional gathering, open to all WLL faculty, where we come together to explore solutions to common challenges we encounter in our classrooms. The event fosters collaboration across language areas and promotes pedagogical excellence throughout the department. These sessions are practical and applied in nature. They focus on sharing classroom practices that work: concrete approaches, activities, tools, or strategies that colleagues can readily adapt and implement in their own teaching.
The event is organized by Gabriela Vokic, who coordinates the gathering and supports this shared space for dialogue and collaboration. If you are interested in presenting or want to suggest a topic for next year’s ILPE, contact the organizer at vokic@smu.edu.
