Heritage Language Teacher Workshop
July 20-24, 2009
The workshop is sponsored by Startalk and the National Heritage Language Resource Center.

Instructors from K-16 programs and community schools are invited to apply.
The Startalk sponsored languages are: Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Persian, Swahili, Turkish and Urdu.
Additional spaces are available for other less commonly taught languages.

This workshop is designed to help language teachers face the challenge of teaching heritage language students. It will prepare them to understand the differences between teaching L2 and HL learners, the issues involved in heritage language teaching, and how to address them. Participants will explore ways to design their own curriculum and select materials and assessment tools. They will learn how to involve students as ACTIVE participants in the learning process. The five Cs recommendations from the National Standards will be implemented throughout the workshop.
