World Language Workshop

On February 27, 2017, ESU 11 hosted a workshop for foreign language teachers.  Participants of this workshop established a rationale for transitioning from grammar-based, traditional World Language instruction to Comprehensible Input (CI) methods, shared lessons and techniques, developed a minimum of 3 CI strategies to implement, and learned how to make modifications using textbook/worksheets to create the following:

·      Personalized Questions and Answer (PQA)

·      Circling techniques

·      Total Physical Response (TPR)

·      Storytelling

·      Teaching Proficiency Through Reading and Storytelling

 

Brett Avila, Sidney Public Schools Spanish Teacher, was the facilitator for the day.
