TitleTHE ESSENTIALS OF LANGUAGE TEACHING FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION LANGUAGE INSTRUCTORS
BodyTHE ESSENTIALS OF LANGUAGE TEACHING FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION LANGUAGE INSTRUCTORS
Presenter: Dr. Richard Robin, The George Washington University
Date: Thursday, May 22 - Friday May 23 Cost: $150.00
This institute is designed for higher education foreign language instructors who are relatively new to the practice. Issues to be covered include: curricular goals and planning, lesson planning, motivation and learning styles, teaching strategies for language learning and language use, grammar as a component of communication, global receptive skills, cultural content, and assessment. The institute will be a grand tour of the practice and a source of ideas for adapting teaching techniques to meet the audience and goals at hand. Participants will take part in group discussions and role-plays, and will leave the institute with new ideas for their classrooms. Special attention will be focused on language-specific issues (both commonly and less commonly taught languages). All participants who successfully complete the institute will receive certificates of participation from the NCLRC, a collaboration between Georgetown University, The George Washington University, and the Center for Applied Linguistics. A limited number of stipends are available. Institutions may wish to recommend this institute to part-time instructors and independent contractors. A more detailed description of this workshop is available.


Please register for the institute(s) of your choice at least 10 days before the start date in order to guarantee a place in the institute(s) and lodging accommodations.
