ELD Hybrid Workshop: Opening windows of inclusion: Equitable Translanguaging in the ELD classroom

Program Description

From theory to the classroom, this hybrid one-hour zoom session on Day 1 will introduce theory and the 5-hour in-person session on Day 2 will provide the space to examine how TK-12 teachers and students collectively build classroom discourse and translanguaging strategies that reflects and empowers the repertoires of emergent plurilingual (EP) students. Through critical analysis of classroom practices, participants will deconstruct the key elements of equitable and inclusive learning and teaching. After the session, participants will be empowered and prepared to design lessons and units that: a) value and embrace the linguistic richness of EP students b) implement inclusive and authentic assessments, and c) include “intellectually rich, developmentally appropriate learning experiences that foster high levels of English proficiency” as well to maintain and amplify the students’ bi/plurilingualism.  (CEU Available)

Smarter As You Think: Teaching Students How to Think in Questions

Dates

Now April 6 & 27, 2024 (was initially scheduled for February 3 and 10) 

Time

9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. (zoom)

Presenter

Yo Azama

Program Description

The ability to ask good questions requires flexible and critical thinking. While our goal is to enhance students' cognitive skills, language classes often fail to provide opportunities for learning how to construct meaningful questions. How can we assist students in thinking more deeply and generating questions that ignite their curiosity? This series will introduce strategies to help learners formulate their own questions while engaging in language learning.

Making Proficiency-Based Instruction Happen With Or Without A Textbook

Monterey World Language Project at CSU Monterey Bay invites you to join our Online Workshop!

Workshop Description

Using a textbook can be compatible with proficiency-based instruction (PBI), provided suitable adjustments are made. The following sessions will highlight various aspects of PBI:

1/20/2024: Discuss fundamental principles of PBI, and consider instructional planning around communicative goals. We will also weigh various assessment and evaluation options.

1/27/2024: Discuss key aspects of interpretive reading and listening with strategies to select or adapt texts. Show activities to support comprehension and make the most out of each resource for every phase of an interpretive lesson: before, during, and after engaging with the text.

2/17/2024: Discuss layering presentational and interpersonal communication, with a particular focus on transforming traditional output activities often found in textbooks into meaningful and purposeful tasks that foster communicative ability.
