Introduction This handbook builds on the work of the first volume published in 2015. It aims to provide K-12 teachers with resources and ideas to help them develop relevant and engaging curriculum to meet the needs of our rapidly changing world of work. While most of the included activities feature Spanish, teachers across languages are encouraged to use the models to adapt to the needs of their particular regional context and language taught.

An additional goal of this Volume II is to recognize and disseminate the hard work and innovative activities of these pioneer K-12 world language instructors as they prepare students for a global workplace, whether they continue on for a degree in higher education, or directly enter the workforce.

Clearly many more teachers are offering innovative real-world activities in their classrooms, and it is hoped that they will reach out to the NOBLE project to share their work with colleagues.

Recommendations Languages for Specific Purposes (Languages & Careers) with Technology: Virtual exchange As more educators have become confident with the use of technology post-pandemic, we encourage all to consider integrating new teaching approaches into their classrooms. One such approach that connects students to native speakers and opportunities for project-based learning and problem solving is Virtual Exchange (VE). “Virtual exchange involves the engagement of groups of learners in extended periods of online intercultural interaction and collaboration with partners from other cultural contexts or geographical locations as an integrated part of their educational programmes and under the guidance of educators and/or expert facilitators.” (O’Dowd, 2018, p. 5) Virtual exchange is known by a variety of terms you may have heard: telecollaboration, collaborative online international learning (COIL), teletandem, virtual teams, etc.

There is a multitude of publications on VE at the post-secondary level, but much fewer describing K-12 VE activities. There are, however, quite a few organizations that can assist educators in integrating VE into their classrooms that focus on developing necessary global career skills. Some organizations are listed below and offer free trainings, grant opportunities, and other types of support. Not all of these VE groups focus on language exchange exclusively, but they offer cross-cultural experiences at a variety of ages. Testimonials of students and instructors confirm that VE is a guaranteed way to bring energy and excitement into the classroom while students acquire a variety of skills and knowledge.

Languages for Specific Purposes (Languages & Careers) with Career & Technical Education Another innovative way to help students and other subject area instructors appreciate the value of language study and its practical application across disciplines is connecting with a school’s Career & Technical Education (CTE) academies. This is a natural way to merge language and intercultural competence across professional fields. A list of the different CTE Career Clusters can be found here at the national CTE association, Advance CTE site: https://careertech.org/career-clusters .

The Asia Society has worked with Advance CTE to integrate global skills into CTE education. A few of their resources to globalize the curriculum through ready-to-use materials and free teacher training modules are listed below. These resources can help instructors with ideas to engage with their local CTE colleagues depending on the global industries in your area, and to garner support from school administrators.

Steps for lesson activity 1

Present the hand out “La Publicidad y Las Ventas” to the class, explaining in detail the expectations of this project.

2

Students divide up into groups of 2 or 3 based on a Spanish speaking country they are interested in doing business with.

3

Once divided into groups students research the country to agree upon a product that would sell in this country. As long as the students can prove why the product will sell and to whom their target market is, the teacher will give them the okay to begin their project. The product may be an actual product already sold, an adaptation to a product or may be a newly created product. Example: Representatives from Betty Crocker travel to Walmart Mexico to sell a box mix of Conchas.

4

Students have work time in class to complete and practice their presentation). Students should go over the rubric and score themselves - Are they missing anything?

5

Day of presentations: One group is chosen to present and one group is chosen to be with the teacher on the executive board. The group presents to the board and after, the board members complete the rubric and discuss in private if they would launch the product.

Steps for lesson activity 1

Students: Find a group of students (about 3 is good) and pick a city and country from this list of cities and countries quite far away: in Africa, Asia, Middle East or Oceania.

2

Instructors: allow each team to select a city and country from the list below. For small classes, instructor should allow each team to pick a DIFFERENT continent, to keep the final presentations interesting and to maximize geographical learning. For larger classes, all destinations may be assigned as suggested below. Long-distances are preferable so that student have to calculate crossing the international date line, and figure out more complex time zone differences.

Africa - a). Nairobi, Kenya /b). Capetown or Johannesburg, South Africa / c). Kampala, Uganda. Asia - a). Beijing or Shanghai, China or Hongkong, China. /b) Delhi or Mumbai or Bangalore, India /c) Singapore / or d) Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi, Vietnam. Middle East - a) Dubai, UAE or b) Doha, Qatar. Oceania - a) Sydney, Australia / b) Auckland or Christchurch, New Zealand

3

Students - after you’ve found a team and you’ve selected a destination, then plan your trip. Have fun! Divide and conquer - with each person researching a few sections from the packet. After about 1 hour of preparation (in class or at home), then prepare a slideshow.

4

Create a slideshow with BRIEF and interesting highlights - photos, maps, key info (only) - not all the details. Students stand up and present the slideshow in a 5-minute fun, informal presentation (approx 10 slides total).

Steps for lesson activity 1

In-class activity: Show the Video (about 10 minutes). Have students complete a written handout after the short video clip, or simply discuss the questions in class after watching the video.

Or, individual activity: The entire activity may be assigned through the Learning Management System as individual work.

Step one: watch the video and step two, answer the questions. Note: because all of the provided questions are openended, it is advised to set this up in the LMS as a simple assignment with one submission vs. a quiz (which will take a long time to grade each question).

2

Answer these questions: • What is Domino’s mission / primary corporate goal?

• Describe the cultural “faux pas” that they made in their initial promotional campaign in the UK. • Explain some different ways that Domino’s uses advertising in various countries, and talk about how they were different than American commercials: India, South Korea, Mexico • Mention three of the benefits of a Domino’s franchise in Mexico: • Describe some of the 4 P’s that Domino’s modified in the Mexican market: Product ______________________________ Place _______________________________ Price _______________________________ Promotion _______________________________ • • • •

What strategy did they use when faced with a currency crisis and economic downturn in Mexico?

Discuss in class the concept of “localization strategy” and give examples of how Domino’s utilized that.

What is Domino’s current global presence this year – meaning how many countries are they located in now?

Go to the Domino’s website. Look at the Corporate site, and at least one other country, and discuss several cultural differences.

Steps for lesson activity 1

Introduction: “Lost in Translation” is a common cause of failure for many international product launches. Other companies fail in a new country simply because they neglect to consult and fully utilize their local business contacts in the target country, or overlook critical cultural differences. But translation fails are more fun, let’s look at a few ...

2

You said WHAT? A ballpoint pen that won’t make you pregnant ...

Parker Pens had a fun time explaining themselves after bringing their product to Spain ... and promptly ensuring people it wouldn’t get them pregnant. Their slogan was “It won’t leak in your pocket and embarrass you” but translated to “It won’t leak in your pocket and make you pregnant.”

3

A soft drink that brings your ancestors back to life ...

Pepsi was trying to crack the Chinese market, but ended up with a highly offensive campaign. Instead of promoting their famous slogan “Come alive with Pepsi generation,” they marketed themselves by accidentally saying “Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the dead.”

What is medical tourism and how does the cost of healthcare in the U.S. drive it?

How is Mexico affected by changes in U.S. health care?

How does access to medicine in other countries compare to accessing medicine in the U.S.?

This lesson is an extension activity to a typical unit on “the doctor’s office and body parts.”

Therefore, it is expected that students have learned those concepts before reading the news articles

The expectations of accessing health care and medicine varies across countries.

15

Steps for lesson activity 1

This is an independent activity where students will interact with the news articles, blogs and videos. After students have learned the appropriate vocabulary for the doctor’s office/hospital, accidents/illnesses, and body parts, students will engage with primary sources in the TL to answer the questions for each section. The first section includes reading two different articles regarding medical tourism, specifically for Americans seeking services in Mexico, and the costs associated with medical care in the U.S. and abroad. Part of the focus is examining shifting political party power and the effects on how many people seek services in Mexico. Both of the sources are Mexican news sites, although Forbes may be familiar to some students. As stated, because this is from a TL site for TL speakers, there are a lot of verbs used that incorporate the future tense. Students are urged to look for meaning and to not focus on the form as much.

2

The second website is a blog for recent arrivals in the U.S. and discusses the procedures needed to get a prescription when one is ill. As students focus on meaning, they need to determine who the audience or reader is, as well as comment on the discussion of how, in many countries, it is solely necessary to head directly to a pharmacy to purchase antibiotics or other medications. This site is intended for people arriving in Florida, but also provides resources for locating pharmacies in the U.S. The subsequent site has a news article and a video for students to watch. The question that students have to answer deals with the excess usage of antibiotics and the relationship to the rise of resistant bacteria. This provides students a great connection with not only the health care fields, but biological sciences as well.

3

The final link is to a video from a comedy series between a doctor and patient that discusses making small, healthier choices that will lead to more positive outcomes. Student need only answer that they are discussing.

Cross-Curricular Connections Cross-Curricular Connections

Science, health, economics

How might this lesson tie into other subject areas to reduce the “silo” effect between disciplines?

How might it help develop collaborations between instructors across disciplines, particularly CTE? This lesson ties the traditional doctor/hospital visit for illness or injury with body parts lessons and vocabulary acquisition with an investigation into how health services and policy decisions affect people’s ability to access medical care. It creates an application of this vocabulary to students studying health and biological sciences, allowing them to work together to look at unintended consequences of public health policy. It also provides students entering the health professions an opportunity to understand some of the different expectations cross-culturally in seeking medical treatment. This can help students increase their customer relations skillset and to understand differences they may encounter in their community or in a work-study situation.

Community Connections

Virtual guest speaker from local/global business or organization; potential application of the extension activity could involve students creating pamphlets that communicate the procedures for obtaining prescriptions in the U.S.

How might this lesson engage students with the world around them at the local or global level to provide experiential learning opportunities?

This is a great application of health services related vocabulary to applied themes. While students may have heard of traveling nurses, they may not have heard of Americans traveling abroad to be able to afford healthcare services. Similarly, they will probably not have considered the procedures required for accessing medicine in the US. Therefore, students interested in the health sciences will find this a particularly good use of their language and cross-cultural skills in order to understand the financial implications of health policy and how different health services operate outside of the U.S.

2. How do you give advice about eating and living healthy to another person in Spanish? Would it be expressed differently depending on who the person is? ( formal vs. familiar register) 3. At end of lesson students will be given various hypothetical patient conditions and give appropriate advice drawing on their medical knowledge. For example, a client has a broken bone. They would want to advise the patient to eat/drink dairy products that contain calcium.

They will apply nutritional knowledge acquired in medical academy, health or nutrition class but in Spanish!

Knowledge (what Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) addressed in this lesson: students will know)

- Interpersonal Communication: The student will be able to engage in conversations and exchange information, concepts, and ideas orally and in writing with a variety of speakers or readers on a variety of topics in a culturally appropriate context in the target language.

- Interpretive Listening: The student will be able to understand and interpret information, concepts, and ideas orally from a variety of culturally authentic sources on a variety of topics in the target language.

- Interpretative Reading: The student will be able to understand and interpret information, concepts, and ideas in writing from culturally authentic sources on a variety of topics in the target language.

Lesson Objectives & Learning Goals

Knowledge (what - Connections: The student will be able to acquire, reinforce, and further students will know) his/her knowledge of other disciplines through the target language

- Comparisons: The student will be able to develop insight into the nature of the target language and culture by comparing his/her own language(s) and cultures to others.

This lesson corresponds with Chapter 3B of Autentico level 1, Para Mantener La Salud but could be adapted to any unit of food or healthy living. Students will have noted down new vocabulary for eating and living healthy. They will have noted down, recited and made some connections with vocabulary words in previous lesson. In lesson they will be reading and interpreting short conversations about eating healthy in the “vocabulario en contexto” section of chapter. Additionally, they will engage in several short listening activities where they will need to interpret the advise for being healthy given, and distinguish between healthy and non healthy behaviors. Thus, this lesson at the very beginning of chapter will teach the concept of eating and living healthy and model some vocabulary to express this in Spanish. Inherent in this concept are the concepts of food groups or classifications and types of physical activity and exercise.

There are several pre-requisite skills required in this lesson; basics of pronunciation, using cognates, previously taught vocabulary for food etc., parts of speech (nouns, articles, adjectives, verbs). Also, it requires that students know how to read a dialogue which I have learned not to take for granted... sometimes they don’t.

Skills (what students 1. Students will be able to read and interpret conversations about healthy will be able to do)

eating and living 2. Students will be able to listen to and interpret conversations about healthy eating and living 3. Students will be able to categorize food vocabulary in Spanish into the food groups in Spanish using the authentic Mi Plato graphic organizer.

4. Students will be able to write nutritional/health advise in Spanish 5. Students will be challenged to customize that advise to specific medical conditions

Communicative Language Functions (where applicable) Essential Vocabulary

The vocabulary list that goes with the unit in Autentico is at end of chapter in the linked PDF. There is also an autentico app that anyone can load to their Apple device and this gives access to all vocabulary for each chapter. Any food and healthy living vocab would be useable with this lesson. * anyone can get a free demo to access audio at Savvas.com/Autentico Again the vocabulary, written fotonovela conversation with audio and the audio exercises could be replaced with similar content.

Communicative Language Functions (where applicable) CONTEXTUALIZED GRAMMAR STRUCTURES

Intercultural knowledge

Students should learn and practice with simple formulas for giving advice in Spanish before this lesson. For example: Tiene(s) + que + infinitive of verb Hay + que + infinitive of verb Debe(s) + infinitive of a verb Es bueno/malo + infinitive of a verb Es saludable + infinitive of a verb And of course they can use the negative of these by just putting a “no” in front.

Remind students of formal vs. familiar register.

Remind and further elaborate with students regarding formal vs. familiar register. Would you use formal or familiar with a patient?

21

Steps for lesson activity 1

Teacher and students talk about what they will learn and do (2-3 minutes) Review the Essential Questions & Standards: (What should your students know, understand and be able to do today?)

• What are the different types of interpretation and how do they differ?

• When should each type of interpretation be used and why?

2

Get the students interested (3-5 minutes) Talk about a time you were involved in an interpreting situation. (Share short story about being a patient, witnessing a need for an interpreter, or being an interpreter for a patient.)

Ask these questions; have a discussion. Encourage personal examples. (Why should students care about this? What do students already know about this? What have students experienced?)

3

Give students new information; provide guided practice (5-7 minutes) Present essential vocabulary in chunks. Provide written examples in both languages using flash cards, PPT or whiteboard, and discuss similarities across languages. Start with types of interpretation, move to definitions/adjectives, then example locations/scenarios of each. Review all vocabulary in context by showing video clips of interpretation scenarios. None of these scenarios is in a medical setting. Ask questions that can be answered with one to two words, e.g., what type of interpretation is this? Where is this interpretation taking place? Is the interpretation exact or an approximation?

4

Have students use the new information (Work period, 25-30 minutes) Using the graphic organizer and re-watching the video clips on their devices, students categorize each clip according to the type of interpretation and write descriptors (adjectives or nouns) for each clip. Students may work individually or with a partner. Clips may be viewed multiple times. Upon completion, student may search for additional clips of interpretations. Students work with a partner to review and discuss their findings.

5

Student share-out Student or student pairs share out information from graphic organizer and new clips. Discuss.

6

Revisit essential questions Teacher suggests a medical setting and asks which type of interpretation would be appropriate and why? Students offer answers to EQs.

Health, language arts

How might this lesson tie into other subject areas to reduce the “silo” effect between disciplines?

How might it help develop collaborations between instructors across disciplines, particularly CTE? Language learning is relevant across all disciplines; however, Spanish for medical interpreting focuses in on health (science!) and language arts particularly. English and WL teachers would be well served to collaborate on teaching strategies and engaging practice activities for vocabulary, reading, writing, etc. Teachers of the Health Science career pathway would benefit by providing a different (language) perspective to the work. Most students in any high school study Spanish, so they would be able to identify with the WKSP content. Combined field trips would provide rich, real-world exposure.

Community Connections

Authentic interpreting scenarios

How might this lesson engage students with the world around them at the local or global level to provide experiential learning opportunities?

Steps for lesson activity DAY 1

1

Ask students to reflect on their experience at a medical doctor’s office: When and why do we visit the doctor? What tends to happen during a doctor’s visit (outline the basic steps from reception room to check-out and pharmacy); What basic things do we need to communicate to the doctor? Describe the interaction you might expect between a doctor and patient.

What would you consider a positive doctor’s visit (in other words, what do you ideally expect of a doctor in terms of treatment and care)?

2

Introduce the topic and activity: briefly explain that across cultures we might find a diversity of beliefs and attitudes regarding health, healing, and wellness, but that modern (Western) medicine is practiced in many parts of the world today.

Regardless of language, a visit to a doctor’s office in many parts of the world will be the same, though doctor/patient relationships and care might differ. Also note that in some parts of the world, traditional medicine is used in conjunction with modern medicine to provide more holistic care. The activity used in this lesson is meant to reinforce specialized vocabulary relating to healthcare and the body and to introduce students to cultural differences and similarities in health, wellness, and healing.

3

Introduce the relevant vocabulary for talking about pain and the body (parts of body, expressions of pain and the body, expressions of frequency and pain and the body, etc.). Then use a TPR (Total Physical Response) activity to reinforce the vocabulary learned. For example, have students show/move the body part they are talking about.

4

Next, present specific vocabulary related to healthcare (healthcare specialists, parts of the doctor’s office/emergency room, procedures, etc.). Ask questions like, “Who do we see if we have a problem with our heart?” “What does a doctor use to check our temperature?”, etc. Teachers can create a jeopardy-style game of Kahoot using the vocabulary in this section to help reinforce the vocabulary learned.

5

Play the Role Play example video (youtu.be/4s4t2M0fAwc). Use video as a model for the students.

6

Place students into groups of two. Have them compose a brief dialogue (sketch) between a doctor and client.

DAY 2

1

Give the student groups time to finish or practice their dialogues. When ready, give each student pair an opportunity to perform their dialogue for the class.

2

Next, show a clip (any) from the Worlds Apart video Series (noted above). Have students reflect on the video clip: How did cultural differences inform the quality of care given and received? What sorts of cultural factors might healthcare providers need to consider providing quality care to clients from other parts of the world? How do we show empathy?

3

If time permits, randomly choose students to engage in improvised role-play. In advanced classes, the teacher can choose two students to play the role of doctor and patient. In a beginner or intermediate classes, the teacher can assist in the improvised role-play. If playing the part of a patient, the teacher can demonstrate cultural differences in Latinx approaches to health and medicine through questions, comments, expressions, and body language specific to a particular Spanish speaking country or region. Lastly, ask students to reflect on the activity: What was the activity like for you?

How did culture factor into the activity? How did the student(s) adapt/respond? What do they need to improve on or learn moving forward to interact with doctors or patients in a real-life situation?

Steps for lesson activity 1

Begin by playing a game of “telephone,” either in Spanish or English (depending on the level) and using messages containing more than one sentence. Ask students to compare the initial and final message. What happened? Is the message the same or different? How is it different? Was the overall meaning of the message maintained? What was more important to the students as they played, maintaining fidelity of words and word order (grammatical structure), or maintaining fidelity of meaning? Game explanation: es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tel%C3%A9fono_descompuesto

2

Introduce topic/activity: give brief presentation on interpreting and address the need for interpreters in the fields of medicine, business, law, and other professions. Then play a video on interpreting, demonstrating what interpreting entails (youtu.be/bB-DFehnwS0).

3

Warm up with a brief translation exercise. Place students in pairs and have them work together to translate from Spanish into English sentences and phrases provided by the teacher (these should incorporate the relevant vocabulary and grammar of the unit). These sentences/phrases should be prepared beforehand and should progress from simple to more complex sentences with the final sentence/phrase incorporating colloquial expressions not easily translatable into English.

The teacher should compose these sentences with the level of the students in mind. The teacher can read aloud and students write or show in slide and have students write. The teacher should read the phrases while students work together to compose the translations. You can do a round of written translation and a round of oral interpreting. Ask students to reflect on the task: How was the experience? What sort of adjustments did they have to make to complete the task? How would they rate their final translations/interpretations?

4

Briefly reiterate the differences between translating and interpreting (refer to previous video) and segue into the next simultaneous interpreting activity: Have student do a shadowing exercise, refer to youtube.com/watch?v=A3WM6Ljt8iI First, students get into pairs and one student starts telling a story (in the language they are studying) and the other student starts shadowing 2-3 words into in, without interpreting. You can do this for 1 minute. Then you switch, every student does it. You can then use the first language of the students as well.

Second, have student pairs take turns interpreting sentences/phrases dictated by the teacher (these should incorporate the relevant vocabulary and grammar of the unit). Teachers should prepare these beforehand, mindful of the level of the students, and should give six examples (each student will interpret three times per pair). Change the level of the sentences (from simple to challenging, incorporating a not so easy to interpret colloquial expression or saying). Each student will start reading the sentence and the second one, “interpreter” will interpret 3 words after the first one started (simultaneously). Please refer to a shadow and switch technique. Have students reflect on the experience: How was the experience? What adjustments did they have to make? Did they focus more on accuracy of word choice and grammatical structures or did they focus more on the overall meaning? How similar and different was it from the previous translation/ interpretation exercise?

How would they characterize or define simultaneous, consecutive and interpretation, and the difference between the two?

How about shadowing? What is the purpose? Have students generate techniques that might be helpful in a simultaneous interpreting situation.

Play Video: interview with an interpreter on challenges in translating and interpreting (youtu.be/MDBORMdqGOw): Ask students to relate the interpreter’s experience with their own. Ask what other factors interpreters might need to consider to successfully interpret from one language into another: How might cultural factors and nonverbal elements of communication (i.e., body language) contribute to or influence interpretation?

Steps for lesson activity 1

After students have learned the vocabulary associated with this lesson, they will begin this application exercise. They will begin by reading the introduction, which explains how originally I had planned on using my Spanish in the workplace before becoming an educator.

2

Then, the cross-cultural skills we are going to examine are contextualized in my work experiences outside of the US. Students begin by answering the first questions about whether they have ever written a resume before and then they utilize two sites to describe what is included in a typical resume or CV.

3

Then, students will use two different sites that describe resumes in Spain and are asked to note any differences they see.

4

After this, students will look at actual resumes from four job applicants that have been posted online. They are to write down anything that surprised them. Typical answers include the length, photos, and inclusion of very personal data, like height, weight, and how many kids they have.

5

Then, students examine the pros and cons of including a photo with their resume.

6

Next, students examine the prohibited questions during the interview process in both the US and Mexico and write their reactions to this online journal.

7

Lastly, students use their presentational skills to create a resume in Spanish, either for a target audience here in the US or in the Spanish-speaking world, utilizing the conventions of the audience they choose.

Many high schools have BMT or Business Management and Technology courses or opportunities for work-study internships with local businesses. In classes where students might learn these topics or have to go through an application procedure for CTE, for example, this activity might be a good collaboration so students can create their resume in both languages and understand cross-cultural practices in the office.

Community Connections

In-person or virtual guest speaker from local/global business or organization; consulting project; translation of documents/materials

How might this lesson engage students with the world around them at the local or global level to provide experiential learning opportunities?

Students engage with resources from Spanish-speaking sources to learn about job application practices both in the US and abroad. Then, they have the opportunity to create their own resume, which could be used to solicit employment with an agency or work-study internship where work is accomplished bilingually. Perhaps students could offer a consultation project for immigrant populations to help prepare resumes in English with U.S. resume expectations.

Steps for lesson activity 1

Students brainstorm, research and discuss possible jobs they would like to do.

2

After choosing a job, students research and create a list of what education, internships, volunteer work, etc. they will need in order to best prepare themselves for this job.

3

Individually for homework or during class students read and discuss the two attached articles. For Apreton de manos they read for homework and come with the questions answered. In small groups they talk about their answers and then a spokesperson shares out with the entire class. For the entrevista article, students read the article at the beginning of class and reflect upon their own actions. We have a group discussion after and students write down what each of them needs to individually work on.

4

For the rest of the days leading up to the interview we practice walking, sitting and giving a handshake with confidence.

Hopefully by the time the interview happens students will automatically walk with confidence into class.

5

Students decide on a job to apply for and write a cover letter by following the information on the cover letter rubric.

6

Class has a discussion about questions students have been asked during an interview and what they think should be asked during an interview. Possible interview questions are handed out and students write answers to the possible interview questions.

7

Students practice with different partners asking and answering interview questions

8

Students sign up for a slot to interview with the teacher

Steps for lesson activity 1

At the beginning of the semester students begin to research what job or career path they are interested in pursuing in the future.

2

After students have decided on a career, they begin to search for bilingual employees in their area who are currently working in the field they would like to work in. Some students are interested in the same field so therefore search for a bilingual employee together. Once the employee is found, the students email or call the person. They introduce themselves, explain the purpose for their call and hopefully set up a time to do a job shadow. A Job Shadow Anticipation form is due mid-semester to help keep the students on track.

3

While at the job shadow, the employee signs off on the student’s reflection form and the student takes pictures to be included in his/her presentation.

4

Students complete the reflection form and hand it in for a grade.

5

Students follow the Job Shadow Presentation Information sheet and prepare a presentation for the class.

Steps for lesson activity DAY 1

1

To start, show a video on job interviews: You can search for short film (corto) such as youtu.be/-inb1Hl9dHU (La entrevista) or “The Internship” interview scene (start at 18 seconds: youtu.be/28L5epip9TQ)

2

Ask students to recall their own interview experiences. What type of job was it? What sorts of questions were they asked?

Did they have a similar funny experience or anecdote to share? What did they learn from the experience (the “do’s” and “don’ts”).

3

Introduce the lesson/activity. Inform the students that regardless of country, language and job, there are certain norms and expectations when it comes to interviewing. That said, however, remind them that one ought to be aware of cultural differences that might influence expectations regarding behavior in business settings. The lesson will include a mock interview and a discussion of business culture in Latin America or Spain. (Note that this activity may be preceded or accompanied by other related activities such as creating business cards (paper, QR code), Linkedin profile, a resume or portfolio, and cover letter and in Spanish. If this activity is used as the culmination of a unit, create a job, and have students “apply” for the job by submitting a resume and cover letter prior to the culminating interview project discussed below).

4

Present or review the relevant vocabulary (dependent on the job description provided by the teacher). For example, if the job is a clerical position, present vocabulary about business correspondence (enviar correos electrónicos, adjuntar documentos en formato pdf, etc.), technology and office equipment (la fotocopiadora, la computadora, el teléfono, etc.) computers and software (el archivo, base de datos, bajar, etc.), customer service (el cliente, servicio al cliente, la factura, el pedido, la transacción), and other office vocabulary [i.e., el presupuesto, reunión, la conferencia, ética laboral, contrato laboral, el jefe(a), la empresa etc.]. Review the vocabulary using a game such as Jeopardy, Kahoot.

5

Watch a video on a mock-interview (i.e., youtu.be/vGoedhM5b6I). Use as a model. Ask students to reflect on the sorts of questions asked. As the students respond, generate the question on the board (or have a set of questions prepared on a slide).

6

Have students work in pairs to compose answers to the questions generated. Have them then take turns being interviewer and interviewee using the questions and answers discussed.

7

Have students read about Latin American/Spanish business culture or etiquette kcba.org/kcba/streaming/Documents/ COLLABORATIVE-Handout_1.pdf. In pairs, ask them to generate a list of some of the similarities and differences between business culture/etiquette in Latin America and the United States based on what they read or observed. Briefly discuss as a class and generate a summary list on the board. Ask students to reflect on the following question and discuss briefly as a class (or in partners): How are cultural differences relevant to a job interview situation?

DAY 2

1

Do an improvised mock interview with individual students randomly chosen. If time permits, interview all students in 6–10-minute blocks (individual sign-up) and have them dress as if for an actual job interview. If the teacher desires, he/ she may choose a candidate or number of candidates to “hire” and have the assignment linked to actual “jobs” or roles/ tasks requiring extra responsibility in the classroom. If this is a culminating project for a unit that includes a resume, cover letter, and/or portfolio, have them submit a cover letter and resume in application for the “job” prior to the interview and have them present their portfolio as part of the interview.

Service Learning is an effective pedagogical method ideally suited to providing real world and community connections for LSP. As the growing literature on CSL shows, CSL provides numerous educational, professional, and personal benefits to students in addition to support and assistance to community partners and the communities they serve. CSL projects require invested community partners and may vary in terms of their length, scope, and degree as well as type of student engagement from full immersion within a physical community to virtual engagement with community partners online. Though developing and maintaining sustainable community partnerships takes time, CSL is a worthwhile method as it can be tailored to suit the specific language needs of the students and class in question.

Whether as an assigned project or as volunteer work, students can put their specialized language skills to use in translating and interpreting through various local organizations and institutions in need of such services. Local school districts, local and national volunteer/non-profit organizations (i.e., churches, libraries, community centers, the Red Cross, etc.) often need assistance in translating and interpreting for events or for general communication with speakers of the target language. While often integrated into broader CSL projects, translating and interpreting may also be incorporated into class as standalone projects or volunteer opportunities. Virtual translation/interpretation, via Zoom or telehealth, is encouraged. their language skills to a real-world context. Teachers may work with community partners to place individual students in internship roles or ask that students themselves establish internship opportunities depending on their respective interests and career goals. Given that such experiences would be specific to each student, the teacher would act as a facilitator and mediator for the internship experience, supplying the classroom/theoretical component and accompanying reflective learning assignments for student processing and learning. Though likewise often conceived as part of CSL projects, internships may also be incorporated as stand-alone projects specific to individual students. to student learning in that students may see how language skills are put into practice by professionals daily. Based on the career interests of the individual students, the teacher or student can request a shadowing opportunity of relevant local and national agencies and institutions (i.e., immersion schools, courtrooms, health and public services organizations, community centers, volunteer organizations, etc.).

classroom to discuss issues of relevance to the target language community or to professionals and organizations serving the community is a useful tool in engaging students and building enduring and meaningful networks and community partnerships.

Possible Implementation Plan Arrange with your language coordinator at your local school/institution to find and solicit volunteers to integrate one or more of the activities listed above into their Spanish one and two classes. They will report their observations and report later, providing assessment. Hope all the ideas are helpful and become an asset to your program. While you program or class might not be LSP, these activities can be adapted to any circumstances and allow for creativity.

Steps for lesson activity This lesson can be introduced in class, OR the videos can be assigned ahead of time, for individual students to review prior to coming to class. This would save 5-10 minutes of class time, but in general, this lesson works best in person.

In class: Introduction to corruption - “Emissionsgate” No Emissions, No Ethics, No Problem!

Got Emissions? (Volkswagen scandal) How can a large, global automaker get away with unethical and very sophisticated computer programming...in approximately 11 million cars? At what point do profits supersede ethics and corporate social responsibility? In 2015, “the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined that Volkswagen had intentionally programmed engines to activate emissions controls only during lab testing. The unethical programming by VW caused the vehicles’ nitrogen oxide output to register 40 times LESS than its actual output on the streets.” Eventually, this resulted in a $4.3 billion settlement with U.S. regulators. (Source: “Emissionsgate” at Volkswagen (Hill & Hult, 2019) Chapter 5.)

Instructor’s introduction into the next activity of this lesson: “Not only do large, global automobile manufacturers commit unethical acts, but ethical dimensions appear everywhere.

Some have overlapping problems: exploitation of poor laborers, poor consumers, and poor citizens through the use of sweatshops, marketing campaigns, and government oppression. Then there is environmental destruction, manipulation, intimidation, and even murder. In financial cases, corporations are shown to move their headquarters to other countries or change their accounting systems, in order to avoid paying taxes to governments.”

Interactive class activity: students pair up and search online as a pair - for an example of unethical behaviors around the world. (Suggested time: 5-10 minutes to search). Then come back together and take about 10-15 minutes to share findings as a class. Instructor draws 3 columns on the whiteboard, labelled: COMPANY / COUNTRY / TYPE of ISSUE / YEAR. Then student teams take turns to go up to the board and write their brief findings.

Examples / ideas to search: Labor, human rights, fair trade, human trafficking, bribery, hidden technology, pollution, wasting natural resources, wildlife protection • • • • • • • •

Foxconn factories in China (that assemble electronics for Apple & other large companies) Poor working conditions caused a rash of suicides in 2009. Criticism: the company installed safety nets outside its factories, and only later improved working conditions.

The last part of the lesson will be to help students connect the concept of ethical behavior to the perceived level of corruption in various countries. Step 1: Instructor opens the Corruption Perceptions Index and projects it on the big screen. Ask a student to select a country, and then compare/contrast that country to the home country. Where possible, students should then open the CPI on their computers or cell phones and search countries of interest to them.

Step-by-step instructions: Transparency International - Corruption Perceptions Index Review Transparency International’s summary page of corruption by country.

Select your country of choice in the color-coded map.

Hover your cursor over that country and click to obtain the RANK (out of 180 countries) and SCORE (on an Index of 100). Take note of how your Country of Study relates to neighboring countries, in terms of perceived corruption.

Find your country’s RANK (out of 180 countries). A low rank is good, so a country ranked 1-20 is not very corrupt.

A SCORE on the Corruption Perceptions Index is based on 100=Very Clean and 0=Highly Corrupt.

Countries are shaded on the map by yellow (less corrupt) to red (more corrupt).

Reflection: Describe your findings and impressions overall, and your understanding of the corruption challenges in your country of study as compared to your home country.

In-depth: analyze the statistics of a country and have students discover correlations to such economic and statistical factors as GDP, average income per person in that country.

Instructor’s answers: in general, more developed countries will be less corrupt, and developing or emerging countries will often have much higher levels of corruption.

Closing questions: ask students to reflect on HOW corruption might impact their daily lives. Example: this is a true story from a country in Africa - imagine being sick as a child, and the only way that your parents could get you in to see the doctor was to pay a bribe to the receptionist at the doctor’s office. Students would be encouraged to make the connection between corruption, wealth, and healthcare. What is the correlation between them?

Cross-Curricular Connections Cross-Curricular Connections

Social sciences, health, economics, geography

How might this lesson tie into other subject areas to reduce the “silo” effect between disciplines?

How might it help develop collaborations between instructors across disciplines, particularly CTE? This lesson helps students understand the concepts of ethics, personal beliefs, and cultural norms. More advanced students should be able to analyze and compare the ethics and corruption levels to actual statistics of countries and their economic development. Corruption in a country can impact and permeate all areas of society - business, government, environment, education, healthcare, etcetera. The topic of ethics is essential in all academic disciplines. For the world language student, understanding the cultural and linguistic nuances adds another layer of comprehension to simple phrases. For example, in your target country of study, does “yes mean yes”? and “no mean no”? Or are there other ways of saying yes or no that are more indirect and implied?

Community Connections

In-person or virtual guest speaker from local/global business or organization, local news events

How might this lesson engage students with the world around them at the local or global level to provide experiential learning opportunities?

Students could interview family and friends to discover examples of ethical issues or areas of corruption that people have faced in their own community.

Modern-day slavery (awareness) This activity allows individuals to understand their connection to modern-day slavery. It provides students resources to reflect on their consumption behavior, learn about abolitionism, and consider the benefits of free markets to free people.

1. How many slaves work for you? Discover your slavery footprint by taking the survey.

2. Share your results and encourage your friends to do the same.

3. Understand how modern-day slavery works, and that it involves the buying selling, and trafficking of human beings.

4. Take action by learning more about products that are produced in a free market by free people in the global supply chain.

Materials & Resources http://slaveryfootprint.org/ • How many slaves work for you?

• “What? Slaves work for me?

• Find out - Take the Survey • Then read the tabs “Our Story” and “Your Story”

Steps for lesson activity This is an independent assignment that students will complete within the Learning Management System (LMS). It can be followed up with an in-class discussion as desired, but this is not necessary. It could also be followed up with an online Discussion Board, if the class dynamics are set up for deeper issues such as this.

1

Take the survey at SlaveryFootprint.org If doing this during class time, allow 15-25 minutes for students to take the quiz. They can answer it as ONE PERSON, or as an entire family unit, if they would like - to see how their household consumes. The quiz asks “how many TVs, how many cell phones, etc” do you have? Obviously a family of 4 would end up with a much higher “slavery score” than just one student answering the quiz with his/her OWN devices and consumption patterns.

2

After taking the survey, write one paragraph in the text box below, beginning by sharing your Slavery Footprint SCORE. a) Which story about slavery bothered you the most when you were completing the survey? b) Knowing what you know now about bonded labor, do you think you might modify your purchasing behavior in the future? c) Do you believe that we can make a difference and help to influence the supply chain, by making informed purchases and striving for “Made in a Free World” that this group promotes?

3

Submit your response in the text box (or short answer quiz) by the due date. Grading criteria: credit or no credit.

Instructors will be surprised at HOW impactful this simple lesson can be, and how profound some of the students’ reflections will be, especially if this is an individual assignment completed outside of class time, when they are more likely to ponder the reality of modern-day slavery.
