Want to help your students develop deeper retention of academic vocabulary and cultural concepts? Tired of the feeling of pulling your students through an authentic resource, explaining it line by line, when you would rather focus on the fascinating ideas and content that we can bring to the World Language classroom through our focus on intercultural comparisons? Want to get kids stretching themselves to speak and write more complex discourse, without feeling like you are raising anyone's affective filter or stressing them out?

Well, come join Justin and Tina at this workshop and take your students to the next level!

Learn how to teach for proficiency - guiding your upper level students to interact in the language, using it to communicate about real ideas and make cultural and linguistic comparisons, and develop cross-curricular literacy.

Even teachers of first- and second-year students will walk away with concrete, powerful skills to teach content information and build literacy, and give students meaningful, finely-tuned feedback on their growth, without working too hard doing it!

Learn how to build academic literacy by co-writing meaningful texts in a gradual release of responsibility model and following up with reading extension activities that have students interact with academic vocabulary and organizational structure over and over again, so that they can get a solid sense of "what sounds right" in academic discourse in your language .

Learn how to make academic content and academic language accessible to your students, to prepare them for advanced work in the language. Learn foundational skills to speak comprehensibly to your students, even when discussing abstract concepts using higher-level vocabulary.
