Feedback Survey

This session will illuminate five principles about the brain that teachers can use both to tweak their current practices for the better and to devise new tasks and resources that help students build proficiency and confidence.

If the mere idea of using a comprehensible novel with your students is daunting, attend this presentation. You’ll be guided through the steps to plan a novice level story. Mapping out the entire novel with a ton of takeaways, you will also receive a copy so you can start bringing it to life! If you’ve been toying with the idea to get into the class novel, join Theresa and Jennifer. It’ll be a good time! P.S. We've chosen a novel that we have in all languages, so come one, come all!

Putting Together the Building Blocks of Proficiency
Saturday November 9, 2024 1:30pm - 2:30pm EST

Feedback Survey
Ever have students give up on a reading task before they start? Do students ever tell you that they don’t understand anything when they listen to a text? Are your students hesitant to perform speaking tasks? In this workshop, your presenters will give examples of how they have used a proficiency-based mindset and sequenced and scaffolded activities to boost student confidence and performance. They will share strategies that they have used to help tackle tasks in the target language and assist students to confidently move through communication modes.
