The objectives of this professional seminar course are 1) to support students in developing the skills needed to complete the work associated with their MA or PhD program in Language and Literacies Education and 2) to introduce them to the work that is integral to a life as an academic in the field of education such as presenting at conferences, preparing publications, and teaching. Over the course of the semester there will be opportunities to exchange with some LLE professors, current and former LLE students, as well as librarians and other University of Toronto staff who can assist on the journey. The course is required for PhD students (both full-time and flex-time) and recommended for MA students.
