Transitioning to Teaching Language Online
June 23- Aug 3, 2014

This STARTALK program is for teachers of critical languages who want to teach their language online. Offered completely online, this 6-week, intensive course will give teacher participants the experience of taking an online course. Course content will focus on many different facets of a successful online language course, such as creating community, time management strategies for teachers and students, choosing appropriate technology tools for communicative-based activities, and developing a variety of online activity types. In addition to exploring these aspects of teaching online, participants will see these concepts in action in a model online language course. By the end of the course, participants will have a portfolio of activities for an online course of their own. Teachers will be awarded a certificate of completion upon finishing course requirements (optional graduate credits available). Applications are due April 28, 2014.
