The American Councils of Teachers of Russian will host a webinar, "To Blend or Not to Blend: The Case for Hybrid Courses," on April 30. In this webinar, Shannon Donnally Spasova will discuss the phenomenon of hybrid/blended courses and why the number of these courses is growing in language education. She will discuss some background about this format in the teaching of languages as well as figures from the Russian field. Then she will outline her own experience in transitioning the first- and second-year Russian courses at Michigan State University to be hybrid, hybridizing a literature in translation course, as well as the effort by Middlebury College Russian School to streamline the experience of learners by introducing some hybrid elements to the pre-immersion process. Finally, she will share some resources that are freely available for those who are interested in transitioning their courses to a blended format or enhancing their courses with technology.
