A venir: Child’s Play and Language Learning
This session presents practical and readily adaptable instructional strategies to keep young learners interested and motivated. A thematic approach, incorporating stories, music and most importantly, play, captures students’ interest and whets the appetite for a range of language learning tasks, including repetition, listening comprehension and role play. The activities are repetitive and scaffolded and require no writing, making it suitable for young children, and students who learn differently. After modelling various themes and after discussing the instructional strategies, each participant develops a thematic language session individually. A speed date activity follows to sample the sessions and provide constructive feedback to each other.

The presenter teaches super seven verbs (the most frequently used verbs in all languages) in Chinese and make a story using super 7 verbs together with the participants, who learn the super seven verbs in Chinese in a highly contextualized space.

Effective Language Acquisition Through Music
Music is an invaluable tool in the World Language classroom. Music helps us develop cultural awareness in the target language while lowering the Affective Filter. But the songs we choose are often too complex, with advanced vocabulary and colloquialisms that novice and intermediate learners can't yet grasp. Learn how to effectively use music in your World Language class to provide repeated exposure to target structures, and sustain comprehensible interaction in the L2, all while developing cultural awareness. This session is hands-on, so teachers can take the tools and resources to easily integrate the activities and units right back into their classrooms. No prior experience or background is necessary but come prepared to sing and dance to fully embrace the music!

Equity in Language Standards: Lessons from a Statewide Framework Implementation
Effective world language programs support and benefit all students, and it is critical to recognize student differences and ensure that each student receives the resources and supports they need.

Presenters will share best practices for supporting proficiency through equitable and assets-based approaches to instruction, lessons learned from developing these resources, and implications for future resource development and implementation of language standards and frameworks.

Grazie, ma solo pieno!: Avoiding Blunders in Intercultural Communication
Why did my Italian friend look at me funny when I asked for an espresso with my dinner? Why does the host keep asking me if I want more pasta? How can I refuse dessert without offending the grandparent who baked it? It’s not only what you say, but how you say it. Learning a language doesn’t just mean becoming “fluent” in communication. It also means being proficient in using the language to navigate the cultural norms of various situations. This session explores classroom applications of the current NCSSFL-ACTFL Intercultural Communication benchmarks. We address how learners can use critical thinking skills to explore intercultural perspectives. The ultimate goal is for learners to accurately convey what they mean, all while staying within culturally appropriate norms.

KnowYourCert: A database for aspiring language educators
This presentation is a reporting out of my MEAD Fellowship project work during the past year. I have been researching and curating information on teacher certification requirements in all of the states represented by NECTFL with the goal of creating a platform that allows non-traditional teachers to better navigate the certification process. Additionally, I have created a visual report that highlights potential areas for education and advocacy at the state level.
