NCTIES2022

As world language educators, we strive to ensure that students develop proficiency in the areas of presentational writing, presentational speaking, interpersonal speaking, interpretive reading, and interpretive listening. Often, our biggest hurdle is finding resources that we can consistently rely upon when developing our lessons and curriculum. Many world language educators are a department of one and they long for opportunities to learn from their peers.

By the end of the session, participants will have a bounty of resources that they can use to help them reach this goal. Session participants will be tasked with setting one short term (when I return to school next week, I will _____________) and one long term goal (Starting in August of 2022, I will _____________, OR In one year, I will ________________).

The presentation will be divided into the following segments:

1. Introduction, outline of goals and norms for the session. Participants will be connected to the Padlet backchannel where they can leave questions and comments throughout the presentation.

2. Tech tools for authentic resources and networking. This will include ways to connect with language educators on social media for immediate support, connection and collaboration.

3. Tech tools for presentational writing.

4. Tech tools for presentational speaking.

5. Tech tools for interpersonal speaking.

6. Tech tools for interpretive reading.

7. Tech tools for interpretive listening.

8. Questions, response to Padlet.

Throughout the presentation, a variety of tasks will rely upon participation from attendees. These tasks will include:
Think-pair-share
Pear Deck
A Padlet backchannel
Throughout the presentation, I will ask that participants actually try out some of the tools in order to get a feel for what works for them.
