Join us for a session focused on the vital intersection of authentic resources and task differentiation, where we'll delve into the power of cultural resources in language learning. Explore practical strategies for constructing bridges that foster cultural connections for students, by diversifying how students engage with meaningful and relevant authentic materials like videos, news articles, and songs. These bridges serve as conduits, facilitating meaningful connections between students and new languages and cultures. Instead of altering content, we'll focus on adjusting tasks to suit diverse learning styles and needs. Don't miss out on this opportunity to enhance language learning experiences together!
