Presenter: Cécile Lainé
Description:
Language acquisition occurs when students receive a flood of interesting and comprehensible input. Movie Talk, a technique created by Dr. A. Hastings, provides students with an opportunity to hear an interesting story using language they understand with the support of a visually appealing movie. In this session, participants will experience selecting, adapting and narrating a short movie to promote second language acquisition.

1-3 Designing Obstacles: Counter-Intuitive Approaches to Building Proficiency

undefined

Presenter: Ben Trotter

Have you ever had a class where you felt like you - the TEACHER - were working harder than your students?  If so, come get some ideas to turn that situation upside down!

Target Audience: All Modern Languages

Description:
For athletes, the benefits of weight-training are self-evident: muscles require resistance to get stronger. But what forms of resistance might promote stronger language proficiency? From outward-facing group seating arrangements and chanted dictations to phonetic spellings and radio quizzes, this presentation will explore counter-intuitive ways for building proficiency in the immersive language classroom. It will focus on ways to improve classroom activities using unconventional wisdom (designed obstacles) to generate more robust back-and-forth talk among learners.

Presenter:  Dr Shelley Thomas
Description:
Language teachers today are being asked to use comprehensible input, yet are not being given one of the most important tools during their teacher - training,   TPR, or Total Physical Response.  Within hours, hundreds of high-frequency vocabulary can be put into long-term muscle memory through TPR, cutting down on re-teaching.  This provides a sturdy base upon which teachers can scaffold higher level abstract language through processing activities that include listening, speaking, reading and writing.   Dr. Thomas will give participants a demonstration of TPR through Japanese and involve participants in all the processing activities used at C.A.L.A - the Center for Accelerated Language Acquisition

# data[].attributes.body
Presenter: Shande King

Description: World language assessment emphasizes student proficiency in communication of the target language. Recent ACTFL standards and proficiency guidelines push teachers to design lesson instruction and assessment that allows students to take on ownership of the language. Teachers may be hesitant to redesign lessons toward this new design, but the IPA allows them to turn their already-made lesson plans into a proficiency-based assessment model that creates a sense of empowerment in students as they become more proficient and develop their own voice!

Catullus is quirky, fun, and relatable, but how important were his nugae? Participants in this session will read selected verses of Vergil, Horace, and Martial that build on Catullan intertexts. We will discuss how these prominent authors enrich their own work with allusions to some of Catullus’ most indelible lines. Participants will receive tools for introducing this material to students.

This interactive session in French will examine the life and work of Victor Schoelcher (1804-93), leader of the abolitionist

movement that ended slavery in French colonies 170 years ago. His father was Alsatian,  and lived in Fessenheim, where a Schoelcher museum has recently opened. I will share my visit, materials gathered there,

Schoelcher’s historic role in politics, and an activity that teachers can use in class. See attached handout!
