Educational Tours
Global citizenship begins with Language. For over 50 years EF has been working toward one global mission: Opening the World Through Education. Together with educators worldwide, we provide experiential learning opportunities that promote critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and global competence. Teaching these skills is essential—teaching them in London, Paris, or Beijing is transformative.
LANGUAGE IMMERSION TOURS To learn a new language, it helps to fall in love with where it’s from. Our Language Immersion Tours combine authentic cultural experiences with lessons taught at EF International Language Schools or out on the road. Each day’s theme connects the day’s lessons to hands-on activities and conversations with locals.
EDUCATIONAL TOURS Take students out of their comfort zones and into an experience that makes them more open-minded and confident. Your Tour Director will be with you every step of the way and expert local guides will explain the significance of the world’s most amazing locations.
GLOBAL LEADERSHIP SUMMITS Visit Our Breakout Session: Join EF’s rock star Group Leaders for a session on "Creating Global Citizens inside and outside the classroom." Connect with us in South Carolina: Meet with members of the EF team at booth #19 to learn more about how you can open your students’ eyes to new cultures and experiences. EF is accredited, just like your school. That means teachers and students can earn academic or professional credit. Our educational philosophy is simple: the best way to help students gain new perspectives and build skills for the future is through experiential learning. We create programs that blend classroom and experiential learning together. This allows us to meet the same rigorous standards of schools like yours and ensure students gain valuable experiences that will transform the way they look at the world.
BUILD YOUR INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM
These extraordinary events combine educational tours and a two-day leadership conference, tackling significant global issues in places where they come to life. Students learn from experts such as Sir Ken Robinson and Jane Goodall, and work together to design solutions to a pressing global issue.
SERVICE LEARNING TOURS Work side-by-side with locals on community-driven projects in Africa, Asia, or the Americas. EF partners with established non-profits and NGOs to make sure your contributions are both meaningful and sustainable.

Also, make sure you visit the spectacular exhibits which offer the best tricks of the trade and tools to help your students grow in their language skills. Dock yourselves in the exhibit hall to see what our vendors have to offer you and your students! The SCOLT family is sad to say goodbye to our illustrious Executive Director and Captain, David Jahner! David, thank you for steering us in the right direction for the past seven years! We never could have navigated these choppy waters without your steadfast leadership! Always know you have a family to come home to! And as David sets sail for new lands and adventures, SCOLT would like to welcome to the helm, Dr. Leslie Baldwin who will continue to guide us into the future of world languages! Leslie, we look forward to your energy and insight! Cheers to David and Leslie! Our theme this year, “Leaving lasting footprints” is even more important than ever in a time when language education is facing program cuts, a teacher shortage, and is in a constant struggle with “required” courses. As language educators, we have an immense power to help shrink the world and break down stereotypes. We provide our students with the ability to connect to others, to understand diverse cultures, and to be part of the bigger picture for the sustainability of our futures. We offer them the world! So leave lasting footprints for your students, future world language teachers, and even for your colleagues. As the tides continue to ebb and flow, it is imperative that we let others know how to follow. I am thrilled to have you here! Now let’s learn together and put our feet in the sand to leave lasting footprints!

2018-20 SCOLT President

WELCOME LETTER
Greetings, World Language Colleagues! Welcome to the 2019 SCOLT Conference, Leaving Lasting Footprints! We at SCFLTA are so excited to be hosting this conference here in the Palmetto State. And what better city than the beautiful Myrtle Beach to hold this year’s conference! We’re also happy to have another opportunity to team up with FLANC, our neighbors to the north. As you collaborate with colleagues and attend sessions that interest you, I hope you gain ideas that keep your curriculum current and fresh. I encourage you to leave footprints of your own as you share new technologies, student proficiency, global-citizenship, and project-based learning. And with these ideas, I hope the impression you leave on your students is one that is lasting. When you encounter something that leaves a lasting impression on you, or as you use new ideas in the classroom, please consider posting to your social media using #SCFLTA and #SCOLT19. The more we share with one another, the more footprints we’ll leave. If you haven’t voted for the SCFLTA 2019-2020 President-Elect yet, please do so using the link or QR code below. We’ll announce our new President-Elect at our SCFLTA luncheon on Saturday. This luncheon also serves as our general meeting scheduled from 11:30am-1pm. May you leave this weekend feeling refreshed and motivated. Thank you so much for all you do to support and advocate for world language education.

WELCOME LETTER
FLANC welcomes you to Myrtle Beach! The Foreign Language Association of North Carolina (FLANC) is pleased to partner with SCOLT for its March 2019 conference in Myrtle Beach: Leaving Lasting Footprints. This marks the first time in FLANC’s history that our organization is holding an event outside of North Carolina, and Myrtle Beach is the perfect place to do it! Each year at our Spring Conference, we share our Top 10 “Best of FLANC” presentations from the previous Fall Conference. This year, we are proud to offer these high-quality sessions to world language teachers from across the southeast region. FLANC’s recent Fall Conference “Who’s Your PFF?” in Durham was very successful, with over 600 attendees, and we are excited about the presentations we have to share at SCOLT. In recent years, FLANC has expanded professional development opportunities for members and non-members alike through regional ShareFests, the “Bring a Friend to FLANC” program, Project CAFE (Calling All Future Educators), advocacy, and more! We are delighted that you chose to join us here, in Myrtle Beach, for the 2019 SCOLT Conference. Ready to grow our circle of PFF’s (Professional Friends Forever)! On behalf of FLANC, thank you for registering for SCOLT!

2020 CALL FOR PAPERS Dimension 2020 Special Issue: Focus on Heritage Language Learners Co-editors: Dr. Paula Garrett-Rucks (Georgia State University) and Dr. L. J. Randolph Jr. (University of North Carolina, Wilmington)
The ACTFL position statement on language learning for heritage and native speakers emphasizes the need for these learners to be given opportunities to develop their heritage linguistic and cultural skills in order to foster a society of global citizens who are fully bi/multi-lingual and bi/multi-literate (https://www.actfl.org/news/positionstatements/language-learning-heritage-and-native-speakers). Successful programs that empower heritage learners require constant reevaluation of teaching practices, curricular models, and language policies. For this issue of Dimension, we draw upon decades of research that speak to the academic and social benefits of heritage language study, while also considering contemporary critical theory and contexts. We welcome empirical and theoretical papers that focus on curricular models that promote access to and success in heritage language learning including, mixed classes of heritage learners and second language learners as well as courses developed specifically for native speakers and heritage learners; student support and placement at all levels; community engagement and applied learning; sociolinguistics; pedagogy; language policy; and other relevant subfields. In addition, we welcome papers from a variety of educational contexts, including K-12 and post-secondary; urban, suburban, and rural; and traditional and new gateway states for immigration. Priority will be given to submissions received by the July 1st, 2019 deadline. Submissions guidelines can be found at: http://www.scolt.org/index.php/ publications/dimension For additional information on manuscript submission or the publication process, please contact prucks@gsu.edu or RandolphL@uncw.edu.

Are you focusing enough on developing communicative competence? Are you familiar with the ACTFL standards that can guide your instruction? This workshop will showcase strategies for increasing interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational communication in a DLI classroom while teaching the content. Participants will have time to develop their own ideas on how to increase communication.

Four Steps to Encourage Transformative Learning in L2 Brigit Jensen, East Carolina University Transformative learning occurs when individuals critically examine their assumptions and the resulting beliefs and points of view. L2 instruction is particularly suited for such introspection as learners analyze and evaluate how other cultures handle social aspects that they might have never questioned in their own culture. This presentation provides steps to provide students with dissonant information so that they might want to take the intellectual and emotional risks to construct lasting alternative meanings and gain more autonomy in their lives.

Participants belonged to either the TalkAbroad-7 group or the TalkAbroad-2 group. Using the Avant Stamp Test, learners’ macro-language skills (i.e., reading, writing, listening & speaking) were quantitatively measured before & after treatment. Results of the data suggest that consistent & sustained oral interaction with native speakers significantly impacted learners’ listening skills.

Effective Strategies from the National Language Teacher of the Year
Mara Cobe & Michele Henriquez, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools
Paul Sandrock & Rebecca Aubrey, ACTFL
The word “text” often evokes images of the printed word. Everything is a text. Literacy in the World Language class starts with interpreting everything one can see, hear, touch, smell or taste from the target culture. Learn how to create performance tasks based on culturally authentic texts that can be adapted for any language or level.

Comprehensible Input Versus Standardized Testing: What Can Novices Achieve? Language teachers and administrators may resist implementing Comprehensible Input approaches, including Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS), fearing that students’ performance on standardized assessments will lag behind learners in more traditional classrooms. This presentation reports results from practitioner research that compared CI and traditional instruction among U.S. middle schoolers using quantitative and qualitative methods. Whereas CI learners matched the county average on ACTFL’s AAPPL listening and speaking portions, they reported far greater satisfaction and confidence with TPRS.

How Does Language Teaching Differ Between the U.S. and Spain? Victoria Russell, Jackie King, Liz Heath, & Hilaria Taft, Valdosta State University Teacher candidates in an M.A.T. program in Foreign Language Education (Spanish) participated in a 5-week summer study abroad program where they took methods courses alongside native Spaniards who were training to teach Spanish as a foreign language abroad (similar to TESOL courses in the U.S.).

The Army Language Program: Case Study of the Training Efficacy for the OPI Caro Gray, United States Military Academy This study reveals instructors’ and students’ perceptions about the efficacy of the language program at an Army Special Operations training center to propel students to the 1+ or higher level of proficiency on the ILR Scale. Instructors’ and students’ perceptions questionnaires revealed that the curriculum established by DLI at the school is successful at this task. Information gathered through focus groups and anonymous questionnaires revealed somewhat conflicting points of view between the students and the instructors, however, results are fascinating.

Second, we will look at the connection between curiosity and memory consolidation and outline ways to spark this emotion for deep learning. Third, we will review how a learner’s belief in their language capabilities determine their success and present ways to build their self-confidence.

Educators have long used pictures to deliver or reinforce instructions. However, we tend to misuse such visuals in teaching. Most teachers use flashcards to cram in a ton of vocabulary. Yet, the human brain is not programmed to absorb isolated information. If students were to memorize vocabulary by parts of speech, they would find it painful and with minimal retention. We will show you how to properly use pictures to help students retain long-term memory by prompting immediate language output. CORE PRACTICE: Using Target Language 90%+

This course often receives split reviews: those who love it, & those who completely misunderstand its goals & intent. In order to increase student satisfaction & help graduate students not just survive but fall in love with teaching, a complete redesign was needed.

Joseph Parodi-Brown, Marianapolis Preparatory School Students are more aware and more conscious of using appropriate language around issues that affect the LGBT+ community. As youths openly identify as LGBT+ earlier, appropriate vocabulary for students to describe themselves and others is essential to developing meaningful language proficiency. Additionally, research demonstrates that positive school climates, including the integration of LGBT+ voices in curricula, can moderate the negative effects of anti-LGBT+ bias. Language classrooms which provide appropriate LGBT+ affirming language benefit students’ learning for proficiency and school experiences. CORE PRACTICE: Use Authentic Cultural Texts
