DATE
Wednesday November 26, 2025
TIME
3:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Presented by: Brianne Orr-Álvarez, Associate Professor of Teaching in Spanish (UBC FHIS), and Luisa Canuto, Associate Professor of Teaching in Italian (UBC FHIS)

Moderated by: Isabelle Delage-Béland, Assistant Professor of Teaching in French (UBC FHIS)

About the talk:

The second offering of the series will aim to present the large TLEF project led by Luisa Canuto and Brianne Orr-Álvarez on the topic of Hybrid Course Modes of Delivery. They will be joined by contributors to the project who have taught hybrid courses for FHIS: Iris Escuer Riera for the Spanish program, Michela Valmori for the Italian program and Magali Blanc for the French program.

The session will open with a brief presentation that will provide background on the project as well as details related to the hybrid design in the different language contexts. The session will then move on as a panel format that will build in the voices of those who have taught the courses and end with a Q&A session facilitated by the project leaders.

About the FHIS Teaching & Learning Seminar:

Hosted by the Department of French, Hispanic and Italian Studies (FHIS) and open to the entire UBC community, the FHIS Teaching & Learning Seminar offers a series of presentations or workshops reflective of the diversity of pedagogical interests in the department and contributes to support the practice of teaching. Everyone is welcome to participate, either to present and/or to be an active audience member. The goal is to enhance exemplary practices among FHIS colleagues in order to build on and learn from each other’s teaching strengths (ideas, projects, modes of delivery, methodology, teaching approach, EDID practices, Canvas, textbooks, accessibility, etc.).
