After gaining a deeper understanding of how language-culture-identity informs their teaching, participants will learn how to integrate culture and language learning in their classrooms. By the end of the institute, participants will be able to:

• Bring everyday culture into language instruction;
• Apply common frameworks of culture and culture learning;
• Create integrated language-and-culture learning objectives and lessons;
• Use authentic materials for teaching culture;
• Assess culture learning; and
• Use textbooks for culture learning and unlearning.
