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

Welcome to Mobile, World Language Educators!

AWLA is incredibly honored and delighted to partner with SCOLT and SEALLT for this amazing conference here in Mobile, AL. Our goal is that you feel right at home and are able to reconnect with one another, while making new connections that will last a lifetime. The relationships we carry define our deep commitment to each other, and as we continue networking, we continue to grow.

Our theme this year is Mobilize for Language Learning. I believe this theme not only invites us to take action, but it also defines us as teachers already in our desire to find the most innovative and effective methods, strategies, and tools to support our students as we guide them throught their language learning journey towards proficiency. I can also attest that I have absolutely adapted models, ideas and practices that have completely transformed language instruction in my classroom, thanks to what others have selflessly shared while presenting/attending/networking throughout these conferences. Mobilizing together for language learning empowers us all, and I look forward to sharing and hearing about the successes that will come about in our classrooms as we grow, adapt, and learn from each other. As the great Maya Angelou stated “I believe the most important single thing, beyond discipline and creativity, is daring to dare”. This week I dare you to reach out, mobilize with others, learn and be stretched, and most of all, have fun!

It is important to recognize all the hard work that happens behind the scenes in order to make this conference a reality. To the SCOLT, AWLA, and SEALLT Boards, please accept my deepest gratitude for the endless hours, sacrifice, and dedication you have invested to take care of every detail. I would also like to thank our incredible presenters, sponsors, and exhibitors. You are the backbone of this conference, and we are so grateful for your involvement and support. Furthermore, I would like to acknowledge everyone that in some way or another has volunteered their time and energy to help out. We appreciate your generosity and collaboration.

Lastly, I am thankful for you! Thank you for the time and effort it took for you to mobilize and participate here with us. I am so excited to share with you all and look forward to an incredible time of growth together.

If this is your first time in Mobile, it is common to hear the Cajun French expression “Laissez les bons temps rouler,” during the Mardi Gras season here. It is used as an expression of celebration. Let the good times roll!

Yours truly,

Liza M. Heath

President The Alabama World Languages Association

FOR LANGUAGE LEARNING

WELCOME LETTER

Dear Attendees, SEALLT is delighted to continue working with SCOLT. We would like to welcome you to Mobile for our annual conference. We hope you all enjoy the 2023 Conference “Mobilize for Language Learning”.

We know there will be many wonderful sessions and workshops to connect, learn and reenergize. It is always inspiring to be surrounded by so many educators and presenters who are passionate about language learning.

SEALLT is a regional group of IALLT, the International Association for Language Learning Technology.

IALLT was founded in 1965 and provides leadership in the development, integration, evaluation and management of instructional technology for learners and teachers of language, literature and culture.

SEALLT serves the Southeast states with members in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi and South Carolina. Part of SCOLT is also covered by MAALLT, which serves the MidAtlantic region covering Maryland, the District of Columbia, Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

We welcome all “techies” and anyone with an interest in learning about technology even if it is sometimes a little scary. Feel free to join us at any of our sessions and workshops. We have three pre-conference workshops and several technology focused sessions. We will also have a table set up in the exhibit hall if you want to talk with a Board member, double check your “tech” before presenting or attending sessions, or find out more about us and what we do.

We are honored to partner with SCOLT and AWLA to offer an insightful and inclusive conference. We look forward to seeing you in Mobile. Stay safe and well!

CALL FOR PAPERS | Dimensions 2024 Special Issue: Focus on Bridging Language Education Fields

University of South Carolina Columbia, SC

Co-editors: Dr. Paula Garrett-Rucks (Georgia State University) and Dr. Jason A. Kemp (WIDA at the University of Wisconsin-Madison)

LINWOOD J. RANDOLPH JR.

This edition will focus on bridging the Language Education fields of Bilingual, Dual Language, Heritage Language, and World Languages Education. These areas of language teaching and learning are often understood as separate disciplines with distinct pedagogies. The focus of this special issue is on the ways in which these language fields share knowledge, theories, and best practices. Arguably, at the heart of each field there is a common goal to foster learners’ ability to function across languages and cultures in spoken and written communications.

With gratitude to proofreader: April Remy

Ultimately, the call for papers for this special issue aims to inspire diverse researchers to share their understanding of what we think language education should look like across the U.S. In what ways are the national standards and best teaching practices similar or different across Bilingual, Dual Language, Heritage Language and World Languages Education? How do assessment practices vary?

How is language education similar or different across various regions of the U.S.?

In what ways can findings on best-teaching practices in border communities (e.g., Canada and Mexico) inform bilingual and biliteracy practices in communities with less frequent cross-cultural contact? In what ways does learning a heritage or world language (e.g., Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish) compare to learning English in an ESOL context? This edition aims to highlight empirical and theoretical papers, as well as new programmatic directions and professional development, that focus on our shared goal of promoting and maintaining multilingualism. In addition, we welcome papers from a variety of educational contexts, including K-12 and post-secondary; urban, suburban, and rural; as well as how language teaching and learning can promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Priority will be given to submissions received by the July 1st, 2023 deadline. Submissions guidelines can be found at: scolt.org/index.php/publications/dimension For additional information on manuscript submission or the publication process, please contact prucks@gsu.edu or jason.kemp@wisc.edu or Dimensions@SCOLT.org

THIS EVENT IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY

Florida Foreign Language Association 2023 Conference October 26 - 28, 2023 • Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort

Stephen D. Krashen (born May 14, 1941) is an American linguist, educational researcher and activist, who is Emeritus Professor of Education at the University of Southern California.

He moved from the linguistics department to the faculty of the School of Education in 1994.

Guest Presenter: Dr. Stephen D. Krashen

Stephen Krashen received a PhD. in Linguistics from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1972. Krashen has among papers (peer-reviewed and not) and books, more than 486 publications, contributing to the fields of second-language acquisition, bilingual education, and reading.[3] He is known for introducing various hypotheses related to second-language acquisition, including the acquisition-learning hypothesis, the input hypothesis, the monitor hypothesis, the affective filter, and the natural order hypothesis. Most recently, Krashen promotes the use of free voluntary reading during second-language acquisition, which he says "is the most powerful tool we have in language education, first and second.”

Dr. Krashen has won many awards, including the Mildenberger Award (1982), the Pimsleur Award (1985), International Reading Association’s Reading Hall of Fame (inducted in 1982), National Association for Bilingual Education Executive Board (elected 2005).

We are THRILLED to welcome Dr. Krashen to deliver our Keynote Address and 3 sessions at the FFLA Conference at the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront, October 25-28, 2023. His research and guidance are still as relevant today as they were when I began my language education studies at Rutgers in 1984!

Integrating Indigenous Perspectives on Global Issues in the Language Curriculum María Datel, ACTFL In this interactive, hands-on workshop, participants will discuss how to integrate Indigenous perspectives into the language curriculum. The colonial genocide was also an epistemicide, yet there are still 50 million Indigenous peoples in Latin America whose knowledge production presents valuable solutions to contemporary issues including climate change, food sovereignty, medical hegemony, and gender equity. The attendees will explore these voices, collaborating to produce activities that fit their particular curricular needs and push students to think beyond the colonial framework. They will leave the session with applicable, ready-to-use tools and resources.

Backward Design Incorporated With Community Services Via Mixed-mode Instruction

Come discover how less can be more for world language teachers. With a minimalist design approach, teachers spend less time planning with more learner engagement. Clear course expectations and transparent learning routines help students understand the purpose of activities and communicate confidently. Classroom behavior and student learning improve, while teachers take less work home. Don’t feel “Pinterest-pressured” to spend hours making overly cute and underappreciated activities. Instead, reflect on the benefits minimalism brings to your teaching life.

Peeling the Identity Onion

An ESOL Teacher’s Insight on Improving Dual Language Immersion Programs

Sue Barry, Auburn University; Cayla Baker, Tallassee High School

Paula Garrett-Rucks, Georgia State University

Interculturality requires understanding our own identities first. Participants will uncover their own cultural identities with an activity created for students to analyze and reflect on their layered and complicated identities. The old metaphor “layered like an onion” inspired an activity for students to reflect on themselves as individuals with unique identities influenced by the communities in which they take part, plus each student’s unique set of life experiences.

Important insights on fostering bilingual language development in a Dual Language Immersion Program were revealed during monthly recorded interviews by an established second language acquisition researcher with a multilingual, experienced ESOL teacher during her first year as a Kindergarten English Language Partner Teacher in a 50-50 Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program. An analysis of the interview transcripts reveals suggestions for improving instructional practices to improve the development of bilingualism and DLI program success.

Culture can, however, become a mainstay of the class where the shared experience excites students and promotes the desire to communicate!

Engaging Heritage Learners in Community Service-Learning Projects Bonnie Wang, St. Paul VI Catholic High School

Connecting schools around the globe via collaborative projects is a crucial function of language learning since it pushes students and teachers to move beyond the physical boundaries of their classrooms. Each semester since 2017, Edward Waters University and Universidad de Los Lagos have sponsored video conferences in which students questioned their classmates verbally or in writing in Spanish and English on specified themes to improve their L2 competence, nurture intercultural skills and understanding, and develop other critical employability skills.

This session explores pedagogical approaches for secondary school-based language programs to develop and maintain a sustainable heritage track by incorporating community engagement projects in the target language.

These service-learning projects are integrated with diverse and inclusive topics to engage heritage language learners and help them express pride and build confidence while making daily impacts on the communities (local senior center, voter registration drive, children’s museum, etc.) with which they are interacting.

Alyssa Gillis, Hilton Head Preparatory School This session presents a method for teachers to assess participation in their classroom that is based on student goal-setting for relevant skillsets according to the student developmental stage. The method prioritizes equitable and personalized learning by helping each student focus on skills they need to improve. Participants will reflect on the problems with traditional participation assessments, gain resources for implementing a better system, and collaborate with peers on best practices to create their own participation assessment.

WRITE & DISCUSS: The Golden Nugget of CI Luisa Meyer, Bartow Middle School Write & Discuss is a summarizing/recall activity implemented after any CI-based activity in class. Students and teachers co-create a summary including the main idea and details of the content learned. While it provides an opportunity to provide more CI as we circle and ask for further details, the true value of W&D is the process of recall, and the document created.

Such a document is the golden nugget used for further extension activities using the different modes of communication.

Designing Active Learning Environments: Principles and Practices Heather Kaiser, The Altamont School Approaches to teaching English as a second or subsequent language have evolved to promote student-centeredness and meaningful, hands-on tasks.

Active learning is one such approach. An optimal instructional environment for active learning is the learner-centered classroom. In this active learning environment (ALE), students develop knowledge of content through reflection and engagement with the material. This presentation explores key characteristics of ALEs and provides sample tasks for active language learning. Key concepts: active learning, active learning environment, cooperative learning, Kagan structures.

This session analyzes the effectives of a world language curriculum that was created to be a student-centered curriculum that not only raises the confidence level of students when using the target language but also equipping them with the necessary tools to learn a new language and eliminate the thought of not being able to learn another language.

Furthermore, this session examines the implications of a student-centered curriculum in culture, grammar, and usage of the target language.

A summer bridge program in the target language is what native speakers of multiple languages need to help contribute to the academic formation of all their languages. This program allows for families to contribute to the education of their children when many non-native English-speaking parents are removed from contributing to their child’s education. This workshop shows you the research behind this idea, how to build a program (for grade levels), and how to incorporate parents.

Looking for more ways to incorporate STEM into the world language classroom? Why not use YouTube - or at least make a task that mimics what it takes to be a YouTuber? This session will present a presentational task where learners pretend to be a Youtuber in a way that blends together their language skills with digital media skills. This presentation will also discuss resources teachers and learners can use for the digital media component.

Get their creative juices flowing by having students create and use handmade puppets in the classroom. In this teacher-created project, I will show you how my students created their own puppets based on historical or influential figures and then incorporated technology to make a video showcasing their puppet and their language skills. This project combines art, culture, technology, and language, as well as communication and presentation skills.

We Don’t Learn Anything: Moving Away from a Grammar-Based Curriculum A student once told me that she “loved that we don’t learn anything in class.”

Learn about techniques, strategies, and activities that can move students away from grammar-based and into the world of real language users.

Storytelling Matters in All Cultures

Dieter Waldvogel, Samford University According to second language acquisition (SLA) theory, language learners move through five predictable stages of language acquisition. Researchers also argue that it takes between 5 to 7 years for a student to become fully proficient in a language. This presentation will address how these stages of SLA relate to the ACTFL language proficiency standards, the instructional and assessment strategies we use in the classroom, as well as realistic timelines for language acquisition.

This session will present a storytelling strategy as a meaningful tool for K-2 students who perform in Dual Language Immersion classrooms. This strategy allows them to create their own stories using colored-coded cards with characters and settings from diverse books and real people situations.

Making them engaged and appreciate multiple cultures beyond their closed environment as well as encouraging creativity, critical thinking, problemsolving, and global competences. This strategy also is a concrete example of building biliteracy and oracy.

These activities encourage participation and create a platform to introduce and discuss challenging topics. They also allows students to learn how to become aware of their emotions, and create a level playing ground in the classroom by understanding each other as humans and not by heritage, social standing, race, or ability.

Hamsa Mahafza, University of Alabama in Huntsville This presentation provides an overview of a qualitative action research project that examined the impact one course-based service-learning experience had on world language pre-service teachers’ perceptions of culture and diversity. Themes emerged from this study are captured within the framework of ACTFL standards that emphasizes the application of contextualized instruction. This presentation suggests using service-learning in world language teacher education, in order to: (1) enhance professional effectiveness; (2) maximize assessment opportunities; and (3) ensure alignment with the desired learning outcomes.

Language is the human miracle, reflecting by its very nature the diversity, inclusion, mental health, and opportunity we seek for all learners. The truth is that we as language educators actually don’t need to add lots of special initiatives to achieve worthy societal goals. We do need, however, to clearly identify, name, and demonstrate to ourselves, our students, and our administrators what we are already doing to address DEI, SEL, etc. In this mini workshop we’ll do just that.

Processing Instruction: A Technique for Instructing Grammar as a Concept

Chelsea Lawrence, UMS-Wright Preparatory School

Victoria Russell, Valdosta State University

In the globalized world in which we live, knowledge of current events is of the utmost importance. In this session, learn how to effectively incorporate current events and issues from the local to international level into your world language curriculum to engage students in the 3-modes of communication, encourage them to be informed global citizens, and build 21st Century Skills! *Attendees are encouraged to bring a device.

This longitudinal (three-year) study was awarded an ACTFL Research Priority Grant. Two pedagogical techniques—processing instruction and computerized visual input enhancement—were compared with traditional (focus-on-form) instruction for the acquisition of the Spanish subjunctive among 62 intermediate-level students who demonstrated a low aptitude for languages as measured by the Modern Language Aptitude Test. Determining which pedagogical techniques are effective for students who struggle with foreign language grammar will enable language educators to differentiate their instruction more effectively.

Music in the World Language Classroom

Multilingualism is an essential global skill, yet the US lags behind in language learning. Language educators can mobilize language learning and use in our schools and communities through advocacy. Every voice is needed, and we can each play a role – in our classrooms, communities, and beyond – in expanding access, availability, and affordability in language learning.

Priorities include defense of at-risk programs and advocacy for new and additional programs, including heritage and indigenous languages, immersion programs, and online programs.
