Concurrent Session 4 with Ryan Murphy and Dr. Ailsa Craig (MUNTLC25)

In the session Paradoxes of Paternalism in Student-Centered Pedagogical Design Decisions with Ryan Murphy and Language Learning vs. Maintenance: Grounding Program Innovation in Research with Dr. Ailsa Craig at Memorial's Teaching & Learning Conference 2025, presenters shared on the paradox of student-centered teaching and the research on language acquisition versus language maintenance. The Teaching & Learning Conference 2025, hosted by the Centre for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL) at Memorial University on April 30 and May 1, brought together post-secondary instructors, staff and students to explore the theme Inspiring Learning, Innovating Teaching. #MUNTLC25 Memorial's Teaching & Learning Conference: https://www.mun.ca/citl/conference/ Paradoxes of Paternalism in Student-Centered Pedagogical Design Decisions Primary Presenter: Ryan Murphy (Assistant Professor, Business Administration, School of Arts and Social Science, Grenfell Campus) Student-centered teaching seeks to inspire learning effectively by reducing paternalism—yet the decision to adopt student-centered approaches is itself paternalistic. This session explores this paradox of student-centered teaching by drawing on Khadilkar and Jagtap’s (2021) models of design paternalism. Participants will critically examine pedagogy as design and reflect on the paternalism of their own teaching practices. By adapting design paternalism to the pedagogical context, we will discuss and explore how to navigate the tensions between autonomy and constraints in learning, fostering more intentional, ethical, and transparent approaches to student-centered teaching in the university context. Language Learning vs. Maintenance: Grounding Program Innovation in Research Primary Presenter: Dr. Ailsa Craig (Professor, Dept. of Sociology, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences) Co-presenters: Jamille Lawlor (Graduate Student, Dept. of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences) Learning a second language is one thing--maintaining what you have learned, however, can be challenging, particularly if you are not in a context where the language is readily spoken. This presentation provides an overview of literature on the differences between language acquisition and language maintenance to ground innovations in teaching and learning programs and supports for those who speak French as a second language in a predominantly Anglophone environment.
