First Week Toolkit for World Language Webinar

​Tuesday, August 16, 2022
5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
Check in starts at 4:50 PM

Faculty enter the world language classroom with high ambitions and expectations, but sometimes equipped with very few successful strategies for second language acquisition for beginning level students. Faculty often ask, "How communicative can Level I be?" ACTFL recommends that language educators and their students use the target language es exclusively as possible (90% plus) at all levels of instructions. Participants will leave this session with a toolkit assisting in:

• Developing the classroom culture: How do you want your classroom to feel? How do you want it to sound? What do you want it to look like?
• Implementing Diagnostics exams to determine student proficiency levels
• Starting from scratch with Unit 0
• Providing advice for students: Bridging the gap between class and personal life
• Creating sensible and healthy boundaries
• Teaching Study Skills and individual learning styles
• Establishing cross curriculum connections

to embark on the communicative journey conducted almost entirely in the target language, encompassing the five C's of language instruction and supporting K-16 Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century established by ACTFL.

This webinar will be presented in English.
