Title | Workshop: Teaching Foreign Language with Technology |
Body | From http://ettsummer.org/#Workshops This intensive workshop will offer hands-on opportunities for Foreign/World Language educators. During the three days, participants will explore practical ways to use technology to enhance instruction through the 5C's framework (Communication, Creativity, Culture, Community and Critical Thinking), with specific attention to listening, speaking and writing skills. The workshop will explore innovative ideas, effective techniques, and thoughtful plans for incorporating Web-based resources, social media, mobile devices, and emerging technologies into foreign language classrooms with an eye towards building creativity, collaboration skills, and critical thinking. Participants will examine numerous examples of the best language-acquisition resource web sites; work with innovative tools and apps to help students practice and improve their speaking, listening and writing skills; develop fluency with Web and app technologies and online social networks; and learn how to connect students with others from around the world. Examples of technology use in foreign language classrooms will be drawn from a variety of contexts and languages, and the workshop is appropriate for teachers of any foreign language. The combination of presentations, resources, and hands-on lab time will leave participants with strategies to build creative, collaborative, and community-minded classrooms of the 21st century. This workshop is intended for middle and high school Foreign Language teachers, division heads, and curriculum developers as well as higher ed professors and instructors. The workshop will take place June 29 through July 1 in Boston. For full details go to http://ettsummer.org/#Workshops |
