Culture as the Core in the Second Language Classroom 

July 29–August 2, 2019

University of Minnesota

Minneapolis, Minnesota

 

While cultivating deeper understanding on how language-culture-identity informs our teaching, participants will learn ways to integrate culture and language learning that include authentic materials and a new way of looking at culture. Through constructive conversation, hands-on practice, and reflection participants will learn how to:

 

• Bring everyday culture into language instruction and apply common frameworks of culture and culture learning;

• Create integrated language-and-culture learning objectives and lessons; 

• Assess culture learning; 

• Use authentic materials for teaching culture and textbooks for culture learning and unlearning. 


Presenters: Martha Bigelow (University of Minnesota) and Kaishan Kong (University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire)
