A Peer Editing Collaboration between DE and College Programs
Taking advantage of the best practices in peer review training and guided editing processes in ESL writing courses, a DE instructor and college faculty use the same training materials to help their students to become more effective in their Chinese peer editing. The collaborative process helps students become more effective thinkers and writers. First, we train the students to be specific by identifying the location of strengths/weaknesses as well as the concrete issues using the correction keys provided. Second, we want students to make sure that their feedback is helpful by suggesting concrete ways to improve the composition. Third, we show them how to be polite by using set polite phrases and expressions using the "cheat sheet" created by the two presenters through collaboration.

Breathing Through Both Nostrils: Teaching Yiddish in the German Classroom
In an effort to bring Yiddish and German closer, graduate students at Columbia University organized two workshops to foster collaboration between the languages and to conduct a sample lesson. This session highlights the first programmatic steps taken to 1) overcome the isolation of Yiddish within the Germanic department; 2) explore how Yiddish could be integrated into the Germanic language classroom, and vice versa; 3) create resources and strategies for co-teaching of languages that hold close cultural and linguistic ties; 4) evaluate future implications of this interlinguistic collaboration and reimagine the future language classroom. The steps provide the springboard for discussion and generating further ideas. Participants receive materials to adapt for their own use.

Connecting SEL Competencies with World Language Standards
In today's classroom, we are faced with a number of obstacles, from overcrowding to reaching diverse, reluctant learners. One thing the COVID pandemic has brought to the forefront in a more obvious way is the recognition of the impact of trauma and how it affects the way we learn. Teachers are accustomed to serving as coaches and counselors in addition to facilitators of learning, but how do we marry those aspects together? How do we address students' emotional needs while also teaching the curriculum? In this session, participants learn how a group of educators from Delaware worked together to align the World Language standards to the competencies of Social Emotional Learning.

Empathy, Action Civics, and Cross-Cultural Understanding for Social Justice in the World Language Classroom
Technology makes it easier than ever to connect students to the world. But how can we better harness these connections to empower learners to think and act beyond their classroom walls? Learn how to use resources from organizations such as Happy World Foundation, Inc. for standards-based interdisciplinary learning experiences that connect, engage and empower students as valued global citizens. Additionally, examine practical tools, resources, and activities to develop lesson plans aligned with the World Readiness Standards for Learning Languages and NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements that tie in with the global in-classroom learning experiences, and how to foster these competencies in traditional, hybrid, and/or online teaching environments

Enhancing Target Language Proficiency With Level-Up Words and Phrases
How do we take students' language beyond the basic content vocabulary of nouns, verbs, and adjectives? “Level-up” words and phrases are pieces of the target language that are not inherently tied to any content like school, hobbies, or the environment, but rather enhance students’ language abilities and broaden their linguistic repertoire. High frequency phrases like it seems like, this is why, and as a result are a few English examples. Learn why we should include this language in our classes, discover how to incorporate them into everyday lessons, and see examples of how to use Extempore to facilitate exposure and meaningful practice of this language.

Feedforward: What Teachers and Learners Can Learn from Assessments
Has your teacher heart ever sunk at the sight of a discarded assessment that’s covered in valuable feedback? This session explores how teachers and learners can get more out assessments - after they’ve happened! First, learn to revise your teaching plan when an assessment fails in order to discover what students know or can do. Next, examine how to differentiate instruction post-assessment based on students’ performances. Finally, incorporate opportunities for “feedforward” which prompt student reflection and targeted action.

Hooray for the heroes!
Explore the world of heroes and legends in the French speaking world through interdisciplinary units which provide a path for learners to investigate and interact with cultural competence in the target language. Lessons on the scientific heroes Marie Curie and Jacques Cousteau, historical figure Olympes de Gouges, and feminist writer George Sand are shared with participants. The lessons provide examples of opportunities to use authentic materials in our classrooms, and to develop critical thinking skills while investigating the people who shaped the world of today. Participants have time to discuss application of this concept for their own unique language learners.

OMG, it's in black and white
I present ideas on how to teach Guernica (the bombing and the painting) in very interactive classes to intermediate and advanced students of Spanish. Participants will leave with materials and ideas on teaching the topic. The war in Ukraine and many others in our world today make this presentation current. The deep study of art and history makes this unit timeless. No background knowledge is necessary to follow this presentation.

Street Art Stories: Teaching Culture & Social Discourse through Art
Technology allows exploration of the artistic and social landscape of L2 cities. Design a project-based module on street art and public art using Google Earth, Instagram, and online resources to explore French and Francophone history, identity, and public discourse around racial diversity, social issues, and ownership of public space. Students leverage online access to public spaces and existing social media skills to create and respond to multimodal virtual tours of specific cities while building linguistic, intercultural, and visual literacy skills. This approach supports exploration of social justice and cultural values at all proficiency levels. Attendees develop materials for their students in hands-on activities. Some knowledge of Instagram is helpful but not required.

Yes, You can Create a Total Immersion Classroom
It is possible to have an English-free, target language only environment. I introduce some of the techniques, strategies, and methodology of the Accelerative Integrated Methodology (AIM) that, when combined holistically, create an immersion-like classroom. You have the opportunity to learn and practice some AIM gestures paired with high-frequency words that will quickly move your students to spontaneously communicating their own thoughts in the target language. Student comprehension and oral output will soar once they are freed from memorizing and being passive listeners.
