Bringing Meaningful and Authentic Experiences to Young Language Learners: An interactive conversation to get ready for a success
September 25, 2016
Starting off the new year in need of some fresh ideas for young learner engagement? Have questions about introducing authentic materials and experiences into your classroom? The Language Learning for Children SIG invites you to join them in an interactive conversation with Amanda Seewald, M.Ed., about innovative ideas for bringing meaningful and authentic experiences to the early language learning classroom.
Based on her work as the Author and Director of the MARACAS Spanish Program for Young Learners and the new animated series MARACAS La Clase del Mundo, as well as her work with educators and schools across the country, Amanda will discuss how to engage young language learners through the use of dynamic and meaningful content in the P-8 classroom.
This will be an interactive presentation that invites questions and comments from participants in the hope that everyone will come away with plans and ideas to implement in their classrooms—on the next day or in the near future! In addition, the LLC SIG will be offering a chance to win a gift certificate for an ACTFL Virtual Learning Module to one lucky attendee during the webinar!

Language Matters: Using Literature to Teach Language and Culture in the Foreign Language Classroom
Mon, September 12, 2016 | UNB 3.128 — Union Sinclair Suite, University of Texas at Austin
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Vivian Flanzer, a recipient of TLC's Professional Development Award, will present on the Brazilian literary genre of crônica and how it can be used to teach language, culture, urban memory and regional identity.
The lecture will provide an overview of the characteristic features of crônica and how it was implemented in Brazil, demonstrate how it can be used to teach Brazilian language and culture, and provide several examples of original activities that have been used successfully in the classroom.
Although the main focus of this presentation is Brazilian Portuguese, the strategies and activities demonstrated can be adapted to other languages and cultures and may inspire the audience to create their own engaging materials.
