Exploring Project-Based Language Learning

July 22–26, 2019

University of Minnesota

Minneapolis, MN

 

After learning the basic principles and standards for high-quality project-based learning (HQPBL), participants will develop and outline a compelling and contextualized project-based language learning project. Participants will learn how to:

 

• Foster language proficiency development through appropriate communicative events embedded in project-based language learning experiences; 

• Design and implement effective assessments based on clear expectations and evaluation criteria; and 

• Use appropriate technology for locating culturally authentic materials, facilitating student collaboration, and connecting with communities of target language speakers.

 

Presenters: Laura Scheller (Brooklyn Ascend Charter School) and Stephen Tschudi (NFLRC-University of Hawaii)
