NYSAFLT Annual Conference 2024

In this session, we explore strategies for enhancing Target Language (TL) Comprehensibility, extending beyond the basics to encompass all classroom interactions. By the session's end, participants will gain practical insights into creating a vibrant language learning environment characterized by comprehensible input, supportive contexts, and meaningful interactions.

Explore the enriching world of language acquisition through authentic conversation in our language-focused workshop, specially designed for Spanish teachers. This interactive session delves into effective strategies for incorporating real-world conversations into language teaching, highlighting the critical role of genuine dialogue in developing linguistic and cultural proficiency.

Participate in hands-on activities where you'll experience the power of conversation-based teaching. We'll discuss practical approaches for integrating these methods into your classrooms and enhancing student engagement and communication skills.
