Everyone's an alie(b)n: Identity and Language for Novices
Discussing meaningful topics with Novice learners in the target language can feel hard. They are able to speak about themselves, but can they really dig deeper into questions of identity with their limited language? Focus on one French teacher's attempt to use existing literature (Everyone's an aliebn when you're an aliebn too by Jonny Sun) to create identity-driven activities for her students. Examples and resources are shared and participant feedback is sought on how this work could continue to be developed and improved.

Interculturality: Helping Students Understand Identity
How can we move beyond sporadically teaching about culture and identity, and integrate these concepts into our lessons on a daily basis? This session will explore interculturality and identity in the language classroom and demonstrate some simple strategies for making important cultural connections and comparisons. We will also look at how EntreCulturas and EntreCultures from Wayside Publishing help teachers achieve their interculturality goals while also focusing on language acquisition.

Meeting Them Where They’re at Through Thematic Planning
How can we plan common learning experiences for students who learn at different rates? How can we develop proficiency, when they need different things? We provide strategies for meeting students where they’re at by leveraging thematic units to appropriately challenge each student through a common learning experience. This includes how to provide students with opportunities to self-differentiate during instruction, assessments, and learning activities, so that they are all talking about the same thing, but each working on their own proficiency growth. Let's meet them where they're at!

my Identidad
Have you ever explored how your past, present, and future show up in the classroom? Do you wonder how you can uncover and examine the roots of your identidad in order to grow your competencia sociocultural alongside the students you serve? Through a Two-Way Immersion Lens, we will guide you to reflect on your past, present, and future, and how to apply these guided reflections in your Pre-K to 12th grade classrooms. A few of the tasks we will investigate together will be: memoirs, challenging games, how-tos, inspiring videos, and a map of dreams. Join us as we incorporate critical consciousness and social justice into our planning, collegial conversations, advocacy, and instructional practices.

Preparing Learners of Chinese for Overseas Success
Intercultural communicative competence (ICC) plays a critical role in language learners’ growth and success during study abroad. The Chinese Flagship Culture Initiative (CFCI) aims to design cultural materials and embed them in the development of pragmatic and intercultural competences in intermediate and advanced proficiency Chinese learners. The presenters share results from a needs assessment survey identifying areas of weakness in their cultural preparation, podcasts in which students reflect on their study abroad experience, and new cultural materials developed to address current gaps and strengthen students’ ICC. Feedback on the materials from teachers and students as well as effective instructional strategies for using CFCI materials are also discussed.

Reflect-Reimagine-Reboot
During an unprecedented time in history, teachers have demonstrated unparalleled resiliency. Many have learned new technology and strategies almost overnight to best serve our students and have done so with grace. Going forward, what happens now? How can teachers apply newly acquired skills to enhance instruction and support all students? Teachers should not only reference Bloom’s Taxonomy for educational objectives but also reflect on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to support students’ social and emotional needs. Reimagine the framework and place importance on the intersection of culture and social emotional learning. Aim to reboot students’ learning experiences to include reflective practices, mindful activities and meaningful affirmations.

Reimaging Upper Level Language and Culture Courses Through Popular Music
Music is an essential element of all cultures, and all proficiency level language classes celebrate cultures through music related activities integrated into the curriculum. A content based language course on popular music products, practices and perspectives deepens students’ cultural competencies, engages students beyond their language requirements and meets students’ various learning styles and interests.

Who’s Doing The Heavy Lifting?
How do we guide learners from input to output while also making our students more independent learners? The Gradual Release of Responsibilities (I do, we do, you do) is a framework to help scaffold our lessons and units to achieve those goals. Explore this framework and how it applies to learning a second language. We examine lesson examples in the 3 modes of communication as well as how to apply this framework to planning thematic units that gradually guides students to communicating independently
