Language & culture go hand in hand With EF, your students can use a new language to order churros, chat with locals, or bargain at the market. You’ll see them form a deeper connection to the words they’re speaking and the people they’re speaking them to. After all, to learn a new language, it helps to fall in love with where it’s from.

Learn more about our Language & Culture tours, and our 50+ years of educational travel experience, at eftours.com/ connection At EF Educational Tours, we're passionate about helping teachers change their students' lives through travel. When students go beyond the classroom it brings education to life, unlocks new potential, and opens a world of possibilities.

WELCOME LETTER

Greetings, World Language Educators!

It is a privilege and an honor to welcome you to the 2022 SCOLT/FLAVA/SEALLT Conference, Inclusion is About Us ALL. FLAVA is so excited to be co-hosting SCOLT 2022 here in beautiful Norfolk, Virginia. I hope you make the most of this opportunity to network, to share, and to learn with your colleagues from across the Southeast!

As you participate in the numerous workshops and sessions throughout the conference, continue to reflect on our conference theme, Inclusion is About Us ALL. I know this conference will give you the chance to think about inclusion and how we as language educators can ensure that we are creating a sense of belonging not only with our students, but with our colleagues, our communities, and even within our language organizations. It takes each of us to make inclusion happen!

Throughout the conference, I encourage you to reconnect with colleagues and reach out to those you may not know. Allow each person to feel welcomed and valued at our conference. Each of us brings a unique perspective and can add to the conversation. As you collaborate with colleagues and attend sessions that interest you, I hope you gain ideas that excite you and inspire you. I encourage you to include us all as you share new technology integrations, student proficiency, global-citizenship, project-based learning, or social justice ideas. As Amy Poehler states, “As you navigate through the rest of your life, be open to collaboration. Other people and other people’s ideas are often better than your own. Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.” It is my hope that SCOLT 2022 will allow you to feel valued and included, as well as be an opportunity for you to reconnect, to reflect and to recharge after all you have been through since the start of the pandemic.

Many hours and lots of hard work have gone into this conference. I would like to thank the SCOLT, FLAVA, and SEALLT Boards for all that they have done to ensure the success of this conference. This conference would not be possible without our amazing presenters, exhibitors, and volunteers. We are so grateful to each of you for sharing your time and talents with all of us. This conference is truly a team effort and no matter what role you played in making this conference come to fruition, your efforts are very much appreciated.

It is my desire that you leave SCOLT 2022 feeling refreshed and energized! This school year has been challenging, but remember you are not alone! SCOLT, FLAVA, and SEALLT are always here to support you! Thank you so much for all you do for your students, your colleagues, and World Languages! I truly appreciate each of you!

Warmly,

Heidi Trude

President Foreign Language Association of Virginia

SCOLT is proud to announce that our own

Lisa Harris (VA) and Ann Marie Gunter (NC) are this year ’s recipients of the Order of Academic Palms award from the Embassy of France! They will receive their award in a joint ceremony at the conference on March 31, 5:30 p.m.

The Order of Academic Palms (Ordre des Lisa Harris

Palmes académiques) is one of the oldest honors given by the Republic of France.

It constitutes the third national Order of recognition, after the Legion of Honor and the Order of National Merit. The Order of Academic Palms was instituted by Napoleon in 1808, initially to recognize the high merits of French university professors, and later on to thank and distinguish all people who, regardless of their title, have made exceptional contributions to the promotion of French

THURSDAY | MARCH 31 IN-PERSON Marriott V-VII

12:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Leadership Luncheon Bobby Hobgood, University of North Carolina at Charlotte; Krista Chambless, University of Alabama *By Invitation Only* Inclusive Leaders understand the value of creating an environment where all voices are invited, heard, and valued. Such leaders also work to ensure that all team members have resources and support needed to be successful in their work. As Leaders in World Languages, let’s collectively take stock of where we are and how we can collaborate to deepen our understanding of inclusive practices that leverage the diversity of our organizations. This workshop serves as a “safe space” for perhaps what might be challenging, but important conversations about inclusivity.

SCOLT President Dr. Bobby Hobgood and President-Elect Dr. Krista Chambless will facilitate this session designed to support your ongoing efforts to cultivate leadership that reflects a broad range of perspectives and experience.

Using Helen Chesnutt’s THE ROAD TO LATIN in the 21st Century Classroom Amy Cohen, Randolph College I chose the 1932 text THE ROAD TO LATIN for my new beginning Latin course because it was written by three women, including the noted Black classicist Helen Marie Chesnutt, which means two important kinds of representation. The book also features women and treats the feminine and first declension as default for nearly a quarter of the book. The presentation will discuss what has been good, bad, and surprising in the preparation and in the resulting class.

Better Equity In Extensive Reading Classrooms: Leveraging Zero-Cost Resources Kyle Maclauchlan, Randolph-Macon College

Extensive Reading is an inclusive language learning technique, allowing students to choose source materials at their own learner level and area of interest. A good ER library, however, requires a large collection of books.

The costs are a substantial impediment to equity for learners and educators hoping to employ ER. To address this, zero- and low-cost resources will be presented and discussed, along with a summary of ER and methods for incorporating ER into the classroom.

Critical Conversations: ACTFL Initiatives

Clifford Lee, Greenville County Schools

Victoria Russell, Valdosta State University; Howie Berman, ACTFL

The development of social capital for new students is an important factor in predicting academic success. Unfortunately, students with limited English proficiency struggle to cultivate social capital in their new school setting.

This often leads to poorer educational outcomes for these students and delayed mastery of English. This presentation will explain the importance of social capital for ELL academic success, describe some challenges specific to newly arriving ELLs, and recommend practices to facilitate ELL social capital development.

Does our teaching profession reflect our learners’ diversity? Tap ACTFL initiatives and resources to bring in, develop, and nurture current and future language educators. The pipeline begins with encouraging more diverse groups of learners and supporting heritage/L1 speakers to explore teaching careers. Identify ways to support candidates on certification pathways. Share strategies to develop educators, honing their teaching and leadership skills.

Mentoring – including virtual coaching, professional learning communities, and ACTFL’s programs – is critical at each pipeline stage.

Enid Reed, Menchville High School; Kathia Mock, Woodside High School; María Gómez, Woodside High School

Everybody knows the story of the Three Little Pigs, however, do you know the True Story of the Three Little Pigs? You see, every story has at least two sides and it takes multiple people to add the facts that make up a new version of the story. Reading provides the perfect setting for students to connect with prior and new experiences. Reading and storytelling sets the stage for all students to be a vital part of the process.

Afro-Mexican Identities: Narratives of Resistance, Liberation, and Joy LJ Randolph, University of North Carolina Wilmington One strategy to implement justice-oriented and equitable pedagogies is to center the experiences of racialized and minoritized communities in ways that highlight narratives of resistance, liberation, and joy over narratives of conquering, oppression, and victimhood. This session identifies relevant points of entry commonly present in Spanish curricula across various levels and outlines concrete ways to critically study Afro-Mexicanidad in the Spanish class. Many of the materials and resources were curated from the presenter’s Fulbright-Hays experience in Mexico during summer 2021.

Research-Based Strategies to Increase Motivation in Foreign Language Learning Laurie Massery, Randolph Macon College

Many studies show that internal motivation is a stronger predictor of student incentive in L2 learning than external influence, while others demonstrate that both internal and external factors are linked to student drive. This study supports the latter. R software was used to plot the correlation plots, ultimately indicating that factors such as peer interaction in L2, leadership roles, autonomous reading and task design were stronger predictors of student motivation than any of the other items analyzed in the study.

Performance to Proficiency: Teaching Tools to Transform Students’ Experience Ken Stewart, Vista Higher Learning

How do we move students from novice to intermediate proficiency? In this interactive session, you’ll learn classroom strategies to move students from performance tasks to meaningful, proficiency-driven communication.

Focusing on the interpersonal and presentational modes of communication, participants will take away examples in Spanish and French to move students up the proficiency scale such as video virtual chats, integrated-skills activities, and standards-based projects to engage a wide variety of learners.

Promoting Inclusion Beyond the Classroom Through eTandem Activities Susana Cisneros, UNC Charlotte This presentation explores the elements of the “e-Tandem activities” as a sequence of activities performed by learners of two specific languages in which they recall prior knowledge of grammar and vocabulary as well as incorporate new knowledge through synchronous and asynchronous meetings. Asynchronous activities allow learners to practice their presentational skills on a specific topic; the replay of that presentation allows the practice of interpretative communication. Together, they level the playing field for communication in synchronous meetings, interpersonal skills practice.

Nosce Te Ipsum (Know Thyself)! Self-Aware Students are Motivated Learners!

Ann Maclean, Highland School Motivating students to take ownership of their learning and creating a classroom environment where collaboration and competition are safe and fun for students is no small task. But when students understand their strengths and weaknesses and feel empowered to step out of their comfort zones, the onus of learning rests upon students, where it ought to be, and frees up the teacher to work on moving the whole class forward together. Strategies include social-emotional and collaborative resources for your students.

Melissa Monroe, Louisiana Department of Education; Michele Braud, Louisiana Department of Education

Listening skills are at the foundation of our ability to learn language, yet many teachers struggle to develop and incorporate authentic listening in their classroom. In this session we will investigate where to find authentic and engaging listening opportunities, how to develop effective listening tasks, adapting listening tasks for different levels of instruction, and ways to give students feedback on their listening practice.

Since the 1980s, Louisiana has taken bold steps to ensure that its students have access to high-quality, articulated world languages programs. In this presentation, the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) shares its world languages accessibility landscape - from early legislation and policy mandates to current and future accountability measures. Special emphasis will be placed on Louisiana’s new menu-based Interest and Opportunity (IandO) accountability approach.

Please Give Your Pronouns: Gender Inclusivity in the World Languages Classroom Bonnie Wang, Durham Academy; Stefanie Goyette, Durham Academy; Liliana Simon, Durham Academy Among the first things language learners master is introducing themselves: stating or implying how they wish to be known, including name and gender identity. It is therefore essential to consider, even at the Novice level, how pronouns and adjectives restrict the expression of gender identity in languages that are shaped by grammatical gender. We will discuss our approach to teaching gendered language in Spanish, Chinese, and French courses in ways that equitably include trans- and gender-non-conforming people.

Promote Diversity and Inclusion in Our Classes through Communicative Activities

FRIDAY | APRIL 1

Dali Tan, Northern Virginia Community College One of the challenges that Chinese teachers face in encouraging students to stay motivated in their journey toward proficiency is the lack of representation of diversity and inclusiveness in China and the U.S. in novice and intermediate level textbooks. The presenter will share her experience in using authentic materials, designing communicative activities and creating authentic contexts to help diverse learners see themselves in the content of the instruction, affirm their identities and celebrate diversity and inclusiveness in the target language.

Christopher Gerding, Boomalang If we taught students how to build a car but never let them drive, would they stick with it? When you fell in love with language, was it only in the classroom? To borrow from a post by Dr. Jennifer Eastman, students must experience payoff for their hard work beyond a grade; to not “skip the dessert” of real target-language interactions. Whether dessert is traveling or simply conversing on Boomalang with native speakers, hear how crucial it is for progress.

Authentic Vocabulary Instruction Lisa Bartels, Dillard Drive Magnet Middle School Does your vocabulary instruction involve handing students a list and helping them memorize it? Why not teach students to figure out vocabulary in context instead? Using authentic sources to introduce vocabulary facilitates engagement, helps students learn words naturally, provides linguistic context, and offers the fun of problem solving within the target language. As students collaborate, they evaluate target language content resulting in deeper learning. Make learning vocabulary student-centered, technology-integrated, and engaging!

Experiential education is a core principle for study abroad. However, COVID 19 poses tremendous challenges for study abroad. This presentation describes how in-person language teaching and field trips were safely achieved under COVID 19 quarantine restrictions in a study abroad program in Taiwan in 2021. Multiple creative devices were used simultaneously.

Pre- and post-program language testing results demonstrate the success of this creative program, and thus has convinced administration to support more study abroad programs under COVID 19 conditions.

Digital Storytelling in the World Language Classroom April Spratley, Osbourn High School An overview of some digital storytelling tools, including comics makers, storybook makers, interactive fiction creators, animation creators, and a few game creation tools, that I have found useful in my own classes.

Digital storytelling can be an amazing tool since, besides being germ free, it can be used to foster a more inclusive classroom. Teachers can create characters that are reflective of the backgrounds of the students that they teach or are of underrepresented groups in more traditional materials.

Greta Lundgaard, Consultant The ability to give feedback to others is an important aspect of fruitful collaboration. Giving feedback causes learners to interact, negotiate, and reflect on the language they are learning. By using strategies when analyzing speaking or writing output, learners can provide input into the output of others and begin to notice their own skill and knowledge gaps. This session identifies strategies that teachers can use to make peer feedback effective, impactful, and motivational, leading to proficiency growth for all learners.

This lack of reference materials has practical implications for teachers who may rely on reference books written for speakers of monolingual varieties. In order to address this, we explore the Spanish of North Carolina, via an online questionnaire and provide recommendations for Spanish teachers based on our findings.
