48th Annual Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages

Fostering Connections, Empowering Communities,Celebrating the World

Sarah Shackelford, 2016 Program Chair

Welcome to the 48th annual Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (CSCTFL), held this year in conjunction with the annual conference of the Ohio Foreign Language Association (OFLA) in Columbus, Ohio! CSCTFL is happy to return to Ohio, a leader among states in the widespread shift to proficiency-based learning. Thank you for joining us here! We invite you to take full advantage of the numerous workshops and sessions presented by colleagues sharing their passion and expertise, and to reconnect with long-time friends as well as make new ones. CSCTFL/OFLA 2016 is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the world of languages and language education with a diverse yet like-minded group of colleagues, and to empower our local learning communities throughout the 16-state region when we return home and share our experiences. This is professional development at its best!

Conference Events on Thursday, March 10, 2016:

Ø The Conference Workshop/Extension Workshop (CW/EW) provides professional development outreach. Participants apply in advance, are trained on this year’s topic, “Preparing Our Students for Success: Designing and Implementing Standards-based Thematic Instruction,” at a conference workshop (CW). Then, participants are trained to extend that learning by presenting this topic back in their home states and districts (EW) during the following year.

Ø Leadership Program: The Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (CSCTFL) has developed a program that will broaden leadership potential in the 16-state region. Participants apply in advance to attend this day long workshop.

Ø Workshops: Both half and full day workshops are offered covering various topics ranging from activities and strategies, culture, assessment, technology, and much more.

Ø The Delegate Assembly provides leaders in the various state organizations the opportunity to network, discuss policies, procedures and challenges, and learn about the current status of world language education in our 16-state region and throughout the nation. State organizations are asked to send representatives to this afternoon event.

Ø You are invited to join the CSCTFL Advisory Council, which provides you with the opportunity to attend the Advisory Council Reception and Business Meeting early Thursday evening as well as enjoy a gratis conference registration. Becoming a member of the Advisory Council is a great way to get more involved in the CSCTFL.

Ø The Exhibit Hall Opening Gala provides a first peek at the exhibits and the first chance to visit with vendors. This is also a fantastic opportunity to connect with colleagues from around the region, make new connections and explore the exhibit hall in a leisurely environment.

Conference Events on Friday, March 11, 2016:

Ø The Exhibit Hall will be open all day from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There are designated breaks to visit with exhibitors; however, you may feel you want to spend time during your lunch break or between sessions as well.

Ø The Awards Ceremony preceding the Keynote address will honor the CSCTFL 2016 Teacher of the Year and the other Teacher of the Year candidates and the Paul Simon Award, the Founders Award, and the Scholarship recipients. The OFLA Awards will also be presented.

Ø The Keynote Speaker will be the ever-popular John DeMado. He will help us acquire the word tracks necessary to argue our position as a critical element of the Literacy movement in the United States. Be prepared to laugh heartily and to reflect profoundly.

Ø The CSCTFL Report Authors’ Luncheon honors presenters whose articles are chosen for publication in the 2016 CSCTFL Report. Ø On Friday evening enjoy a leisurely dinner on your own, then come help us celebrate the world with an International Dance

Party. There will be lessons and practice in Salsa, Polka and more by Professional Dance Instructor Joseph Rittenhouse. Socialize and have fun with colleagues and friends in a relaxed, casual environment. A cash bar will be available.

Conference Events on Saturday, March 12, 2016:

Ø NNELL/FLES Networking Breakfast highlights elementary ideas and resources and is a fantastic time to network with other FLES teachers.

Ø At the NADSFL/NCSSFL Luncheon, district and state world language supervisors meet to enjoy lunch and network. If you are a district supervisor, world language department chair, or state supervisor and you don’t know about these two groups, this is a great way to get acquainted with them while enjoying a nice lunch.

Ø Our Saturday session offerings are packed every hour to maximize opportunities for those who have difficulties joining CSCTFL on weekdays.

Highlights of the 2016 conference:

Ø 8 sessions/workshops from CSCTFL 2015 were designated as “ALL STAR” sessions for their outstanding quality and execution and will be featured at CSCTFL/OFLA 2016 in Columbus.

Ø Many of our 16 Central States will be presenting a session or workshop that their state organizations have designated as “Best of ” sessions. We hope you take advantage to learn from the best of our states!

Ø Th ere will be 260 sessions on a wide variety of topics (and presented in diverse languages) on Friday and Saturday. Ø Several exhibitors will off er workshops or sessions. Ø Th ere are 36 workshops available to attendees. Workshops off er a more in-depth exploration of a topic.

W-01 Robert KingThinking About Syncing? Technology Tools for World LanguagePresenter: Catherine Ousselin, Mount Vernon (WA) High School

Presider: Jane Rauschenberg, Logan Hocking Schools, Logan, OH

Working from the perspective of supporting ACTFL, AP and the Common Core State Standards, participants will engage in an exploration of Web and mobile tools pertinent to listening, speaking, and writing tasks using the SAMR and TPACK models. The presenter will engage participants in not only an interactive conversation discussing appropriate, effective, and easy-to-use tools for both learners and educators, but will also provide focused training on the design and assessment of authentic speaking and listening tasks. Emphasis will be placed on learner skills and growth. Participants will gain concrete skills and comprehension of the tools that they will be able to use directly in their classes and collaboratively with their colleagues. The group will produce a shared document on resources, rubrics, and thematic uses of the tools. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop computer and (if possible) an iOS device.

W-02 Emerson Burkhart AExhibitor Workshop: Where Sitting is the Exception: Transforming Classrooms to Empower StudentsPresenter: Darcy Rogers, Organic World Language, Medford, OR

Presider: Sarah Percival, Westside High School, Omaha, NE

Want to use more target language in class? See students produce consistent levels of proficiency? Have higher student engagement and incorporate more student-centered classroom strategies? Join your colleagues in experiencing techniques that foster passion for language learning, empower students and celebrate the successes and growth of each student. Through transformative strategies, teachers and students work together to create a 90%+ environment that generates excitement and is focused on achieving proficiency. Learn questioning sequences that differentiate learning and lead to more student fulfillment and intrinsic motivation. Be prepared to do interactive techniques, learn how to maintain rigor, and have fun!

W-03 Edna Boles HopkinsThe Role of Grammar in the Can-Do ClassroomPresenter: Bill Heller, SUNY Geneseo (NY) CollegePresider: Adrienne Royo, Southern Adventist University, Collegedale, TNRecent research suggests that there is a role for direct instruction in grammar patterns in order to build a foundation for ongoing proficiency development. Informed by the work of John De Mado, James Lee and Bill VanPatten and the new NCSSFL/ACTFL Can Do Statements, this session will help you identify and sequence key grammatical patterns for each proficiency level and offer strategies to help students notice how grammar conveys meaning and how accuracy enhances communication. Examples will be in Spanish with content applicable to all languages.

W-04 Elijah Pierce ADifferentiated Instruction in the WL ClassroomPresenter: Bryan Drost, Firelands Local Schools, Oberlin, OH

Presider: John Krauss, The Seven Hills School, Cincinnati, OH

Differentiated instruction is an approach to teaching in which a classroom teacher adapts instruction (in terms of content, process, and product) with each student’s readiness, learning style, and interests. Differentiated instruction is not a single strategy but an approach to teaching where required tasks, instructional approaches, and materials are adjusted according to the needs of individual students. This workshop will provide examples of how to differentiate instruction within the proficiency/performance-based classroom and teachers will be encouraged to share ways that they have differentiated instruction in their classrooms.

W-05 C211How Do I Teach My Kids to Read?Presenter: Lori Winne, University of Toledo (OH)

Presider: Judith M. Michaels, West DePere Public Schools (retired), Green Bay, WI

Participants in this session will learn pre-reading, comprehension, vocabulary, and extension strategies to assist students in learning to read. There’s more to do than take out the dictionary and translate. In fact, students will be pleased at their ability to discuss, debate and write creative pieces related to the book. Based on strategies that work when teaching kids to read in English, these activities work in the second language also!

Thursday Morning Half-Day Workshops March 10, 2016

8:30 AM ‐ 11:30 AM

Freda Graan, Columbus (OH) Academy

W-09 C216The German Village: Maximizing the Performance AssessmentPresenter: Kandel Baxter, Valparaiso (IN) Schools

Presider: Paula Sondej, Ohio Department of Education, Columbus, OH

See how one middle school German teacher brings a German village to fruition on the floor of her classroom while simultaneously engaging each of her first-year students in all five of ACTFL Cs.

W-10 C214Ohio’s Statewide Learning Outcomes Developed: Let’s Talk About Implementation!Presenters: Debbie Robinson, Independent Consultant, Pickerington,

OH; Kirsten Halling, Wright State University, Dayton, OH; Jan Macian, Columbus (OH) State Community College; Hideo Tsuchida, Ohio Department of Higher Education, Columbus, OH

Presider: Jason Jolley, Missouri State University, Springfield, MO

The Ohio Department of Higher Education has coordinated the Foreign Language Initiative by engaging faculty throughout its five-step course equivalency process to arrive at statewide learning outcomes for the first four courses in the language sequence.

W-11 C215The Seamless CI ClassroomPresenter: Bryan Kandel, Perry Local Schools, Massillon, OH

Presider: Katrina M. Reinhardt, University of Indianapolis (IN)

W-12 Elijah Pierce AThe Performed Culture Approach: Facilitating Students Toward a New WorldviewPresenters: Karen Curtin, Mari Noda, Hiromi Tobaru and Shinsuke

Tsuchiya, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH

Presider: Iya Nemastil, Marysville (OH) High School

Ever noticed that even students with superior grammar and vocabulary still struggle with sounding natural in the L2? That unnatural way of interacting in the L2 is often the result of treating language as a code while keeping American communicative styles. The Performed Culture Approach (PCA) forefronts culture itself as the communicative tool and empowers teachers, students, and the curriculum to foster culturally appropriate communication. This workshop will discuss the theoretical base of PCA, how to use PCA with various language textbooks, a proficiency-oriented assessment and grading system, and hands-on demonstrations of the immersion-like classes PCA fosters.

W-13 C211Authentic Television Series in the Intermediate/Pre-Advanced Spanish ClassPresenters: Karen Goering and Gabby Mikos, Glenbrook South

W-14 C214Sheep No More: Training savvy, self-directed, joyful, lifelong language learnersPresenter: Justin Slocum Bailey, Indwelling Language, Ann Arbor, MI

Presider: Terri Marlow, Parkersburg (WV) High School (retired)

What if all students knew what they needed in order to advance, knew how to get it, got it, owned it, and enjoyed the process? What if they even knew how to pass on to fellow learners both the content and the strategies involved? This interactive, hands-on workshop will train participants to use an integrated, adaptable system of 30+ techniques and practices for focused, energizing language-learning-and-teaching that will enhance any existing curriculum by helping students recognize how to advance in proficiency and get from teachers and other sources both the input and the opportunities they need to function meaningfully in the target language.

W-15 Edward Parker Hayden Making Connections: Creating Structured Input Activities to Connect Form and Meaning in the L2 ClassroomPresenters: Wynne Wong, Emma Butler, Stephanie Garvelink,

Laurene Glimois, Lorena Sainz-Maza Lecanda, Oihane Muxika-Loitzate, Xinyi Tan, Brian Troth and Mackenzie Watts, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH

Presider: Nadya Tanova, University of Dayton (OH)

Researchers and instructors agree that L2 learners must receive ample amounts of comprehensible input in order for L2 acquisition to take place. Structured input, a type of pedagogical intervention that gives learners practice in processing input correctly (based on VanPatten’s model of input processing), has been shown (in more than 20 years of research) to be effective in helping learners make correct form-meaning connections for L2 acquisition. In this workshop, participants will learn about the theory behind structured input activities, see sample activities for various grammatical structures in Chinese, French, German, Italian, & Spanish, and have the opportunity to create structured input activities for their own classes under the guidance of the presenters.

W-16 C215Keeping Kids Engaged and Coming Back for MorePresenter: Michelle Kindt, Hershey (PA) High School

W-21 C210Can I Please Just Teach?!Presenter: Kathy Shelton, Ohio Department of Education, Columbus, OH

Presider: Barbara Reichenbach, Ohio University, Athens, OH

Remember the good old days when you could close your classroom door and just teach? That’s what this audience-participation workshop is all about! No data, no acronyms. Just pure teaching. You’ll get ideas for fun speaking, writing, reading and listening activities; cool websites to launch communication and culture; quick and easy bell-ringers; even games for circumlocution, vocab and grammar practice. Participants will be provided with paper and digital copies of all materials. Let’s close the door and just TEACH!

W-22 C221Beyond the Shoulder Partner: Maximize Student Speaking with Cooperative GroupsPresenters: Mercedes Koch and Ryan Rockaitis, Deerfield (IL) High School

Presider: Kerisa Baedke, Prairieview School, Waukee, IA

Why do students take a language class? Because they want to SPEAK it! Since many students will only speak in the target language with their peers and teachers, the presenters offer ideas that maximize effectiveness of class time and increase student speaking in the target language at all levels. Want to enliven group work in the classroom and make it truly cooperative? Cooperative grouping allows students to take ownership of their learning, build positive relationships with their peers, and hold each other to higher expectations. During this workshop, presenters share suggestions to get every student speaking on meaningful topics for extended amounts of time with their peers in a deeper way than simply working with their shoulder partner. Participants will have time to collaborate with colleagues, personalize the activities presented, and share the final products with fellow attendees. Participants may use presenters’ templates or create their own to build or expand their repertoire of speaking activities that they can start to use on Monday.

W-23 Elijah Pierce BStudent Engagement in a First-Year Online Language ClassPresenters: Enrica Ardemagni, Didier Bertrand, Amy Bomke-Keating and

Renee Gregory, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IN)

Presider: Elke Lorenz, Manhattan (KS) High School

This Workshop will focus on deep structure activity development with the purpose of facilitating engagement in an online language class. Many instructors have found this difficult for a first-year class, but the presenters, professors of German and Spanish, have been working together to assure how students with no or minimal language learning experience can be successful by using their peers for an enhanced learning experience. The presenters will show how engagement can work through strategic planning of how students will communicate. In traditional classes students are assessed on class participation, something that is harder to develop and assess in an online class. Evaluative

values in rubrics not only allow instructors to measure engagement and performance; they also serve as a road map for students on how to become more proficient. Participants will work through a series of demonstrations and hands-on activities using different software and platforms to show how to maximize student participation.

W-24 Robert KingTeaching Today’s Learner Using Free Technology ResourcesPresenter: Gay Rawson, Concordia College, Moorhead, MN

Presider: Sheri Barksdale, University of Cincinnati (OH) Blue Ash College

It will also, in an interactive manner, review best practices for teaching languages that include the ACTFL world readiness standards, 21st century skills, and technology skills for the 21st century. Grounded firmly in language acquisition pedagogy, the presenter will then showcase technology projects that teachers have developed across a variety of languages (notably Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, English, French, German, Spanish, Norwegian) and levels (pre-K–18). All of the projects can be adapted to any language and level, and possible modifications will be discussed. The session will end with participants sharing how they plan to use the information as well as the opportunity to have questions answered about the actual technology implementation.

W-25 C222Best of Wisconsin: The Winding Road to ProficiencyPresenters: Jeff Haubenreich, Jessica Backhaus, Kimberly Hasenauer,

Bernadette van Willigen and Mary Villagomez, Menomonee Falls (WI) High School

Presider: Andrea Behn, Parker High School, Janesville, WI

Students are all on a long, bumpy, and winding road that leads to proficiency in the target language. As those charged with guiding them in their journey, educators must decide among philosophies, methods, techniques and tricks that abound in the profession, causing many to stall out at times. How do teachers choose the right route, pack the right stuff, and navigate around the inevitable detours? In this workshop, department members will share how they have worked together to chart a clear course that is meaningful to them, their students, parents and the administration. Learn ways to use ACTFL resources, design performance assessments, and measure student success. Using interactive stations the presenters will share specific aspects of their approach and hear ideas from talented and road-tested colleagues.

W-26 C211Focus on Interculturality: Embedding Culture through Story to Build ProficiencyPresenter: Linda Egnatz, Lincoln-Way North High School, Frankfort, IL

Presider: Lisa Hendrickson, Independent Consultant, Monroe, WI

Move beyond the cultural products of food and fiestas to the cultural perspectives rooted in the history of the target language. Encourage the growth of both student language proficiency and interculturality by developing lessons that compare and contrast our cultural differences due to history or environment. This workshop will help you use authentic resources to tell a historical tale while building your students’ descriptive narrative in both past and present.

Presider: Susan Knight, Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant, MI

Ever wanted to try a flipped lesson in the classroom, but not been sure how to get started? In this workshop, participants will develop a flipped lesson that can be implemented in Monday’s class. The workshop will start with a review of the background of flipped classes, then discuss best practices, advantages, and challenges of the methodology, and finally consider steps to start implementation. Participants will have electronic access to the handouts, information on free technology resources, and all of the lessons developed during the workshop.

W-31 C220Construction and Usage-Based Instruction: An Innovative Approach to Teaching Students to Orally Communicate in Foreign LanguagePresenters: Serafima Gettys and Rocio Rodrigus, Lewis University,

Romeoville, IL; Iwona Lech, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL

Presider: Erin Weber, Cedarville (OH) University

This workshop is intended for teachers whose main concern is their students’ insufficient ability to orally communicate in the foreign language. The UBI approach was inspired by and developed on the basis of Usage-Based theory of language and language acquisition. Central to the instructional sequence are such notions as frequency, repetition, entrenchment, chunking, and the emergent nature of the language. Students are taken through a number of steps: focused input, forced-choice output, scaffolded output, output, and recycling. Each of the elements of this highly structured instructional system has its own goal, gradually bringing students to ability to automatically use the language in oral communication with minimum effort on their part. This approach has been shown to be particularly effective in instruction at the elementary level. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to see how the UBI works and will try their hand in developing UBI activities.

W-32 Elijah Pierce A Tech FusionPresenters: Rose Egan, Cathedral High School, Indianapolis, IN;

Participants will create a Peace Pole to take back to their classroom as a constant reminder to visualize and promote a just and peaceful world. Attendees will continue the session with refl ection, questioning, and dialogue of a unit of study about Peace Education and how to incorporate it into current curricula. Th rough the study of Peace Education, students become globally competent citizens, and experience that language and culture are inextricably linked. As students participate in the Peace Pole Project in person and via technology, they come to understand and abide by the constraints and freedoms aff orded to individuals in the target culture(s) and their own.

W-34 C222The Textbook and Grammar Instruction in a 21st Century ClassroomPresenters: Teri Wiechart, Delphos (OH) Jeff erson High School

(retired); Gary DiBianca, Orange High School, Pepper Pike, OH

Presider: Jonathan A. Harris, St. Gabriel Consolidated School, Cincinnati, Ohio

Making the paradigm shift s necessary to teach with state and national standards, using authentic resources and staying in the target language 90%+ leaves teachers wondering where to fi nd the

content to teach. Let the presenters show you how to use textbooks to “mine for gold”—to fi nd useful readings, culture, activities and ancillary materials that can be taught using the current paradigms. We will also see how to embed grammar lessons within those materials.

Toledo (OH)

Presider: Billie Hulke, Baylor University, Waco, TX

Visual novel is a powerful three-edged interactive gaming tool. On one hand, visual novels can be used by foreign language teachers to help students learn languages and culture. At the same time, they could be used to assess students’ interpretive skills. Students can also create visual novels as a presentational project. In this workshop, participants will learn how to create their own visual novels and explore how visual novels can be used effectively intheir classrooms. Participants need to bring their own laptops.

Conference Workshop/Extension WorkshopThursday, March 10, 2016

8:30 AM – 4:30 PMEmerson Burkhart B

Preparing Our Students for Success: Designing and Implementing Standards-based Thematic Instruction

Presenters: Karen Luond Fowdy and Lisa Hendrickson, Independent World Language Consultants, Monroe, Wisconsin

• What do you want your students to take away from your program?• How do you ensure that your world language program leads to these goals?• How can you design meaningful assessments that reflect real-life communication?• How can you deliver focused instruction that prepares students for success?

Learn to develop a culturally rich thematic curriculum driven by integrated performance assessments that measure and give value to increased language proficiency. Consider ways to design instruction to prepare students for success with reference to strategies presented in the ACTFL publication “The Keys to Planning for Learning” by Donna Clementi and Laura Terrill.

Participants apply in advance to attend this daylong workshop; the proposal form can be found here or on the CSCTFL website, www.csctfl.org under Conference Workshop/Extension Workshop. Each year approximately twenty-five participants are selected to attend the Conference Workshop (CW) on Thursday during the annual meeting of Central States. Here they receive information and materials about recent trends in foreign language teaching. Participants are then asked to conduct a similar Extension Workshop (EW) in their local area in order to bring the Conference and its new and evolving ideas to a greater number of teachers.

The CW is the training session during which participants learn to conduct their own workshops. Participants receive a set of materials from each of the presenters, giving them the content information that they can use for their own EWs. They also receive guidelines and ideas for organizing, publicizing, and presenting a workshop. The emphasis in the CW is on the practical application of the new ideas for the classroom. At the end of the six-hour CW, participants are ready to conduct one or more EWs for foreign language educators in their own states. They can adjust the format, time frame, and material selection for their needs.

The ultimate goal of the CW/EW Program is to improve the quality of foreign language instruction by providing up-to-date information to teachers unable to attend the Central States Conference. The CW/EW program offers participants the opportunity to learn how to organize and present a workshop, to meet other foreign language educators throughout the CSCTFL region, to strengthen ties with teachers in their local area, and to serve as resource people in their foreign language community. Once participants have attended the CW training, presented their own EW(s), and filed a brief report, they will receive a small honorarium to help cover expenses.

The Conference Workshop/Extension Workshop is open only to those whose proposals have been submitted and accepted.

Coordinator: Julie Jezuit, Chair

Continuing Education CreditYour state or school district may approve this conference experience for your professional development or licensure.

To fulfill their local professional development requirements, K-12 teachers should first check with their own district for the appropriate steps to receive approval for conference participation.

The Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages will provide documentation of attendance so that as many teachers as possible in the Central States Conference region can benefit directly and immediately from the conference for their professional development. Attendees should photocopy the form found on page 71 of this program and complete a separate Conference Workshop/Session Attendance Form for EACH DAY of attendance.

Many teaching professionals act as interviewers while our learners respond as interviewees. Interviews in the language seem like a common practice in language courses. On the other hand, a novel strategy that is not a common practice puts the learners in the driver’s seat as interviewers. The purpose of this presentation is to show that when students record themselves in a situation where they ask questions and listen to their interviewee, they build on their skills at any level. More importantly, they expand their own cultural literacy as they interact with members of target cultures. Another benefit is that they collectively create a community network as they contribute to the language map of the local area where they reside. This presentation offers examples and analyzes sample recordings of learners as they interview speakers from the Spanish-speaking world.

S-018 C221Liberation from the List: Vocabulary Instruction Without Burdens or LimitsPresenter: Amy Lenord, Plano Independent School District, Plano, TX

What if the vocabulary lists teachers have used for generations to teach their students actually undermined their instruction? What if those lists are actually more cumbersome than helpful? So many teachers talk about abandoning the lists if only they knew a better way. Imagining language instruction without the vocabulary list can be frightening to teachers and students alike, but it is more than possible! It is liberating! In this session participants will explore the mind of a language student and the unintentional messages lists of words send him. Participants will get to play with concrete examples of how vocabulary can be taught without providing a list or even mandating a note taking system. During the course of those lessons participants will see examples of how losing the list knocks down the borders of what students are allowed learn and makes what they actually learn richer and longer lasting.


S-019 Elijah Pierce AAll Star Session: Bringing Proficiency to the Foreground Through Re-assessmentPresenter: Michael Camp, Homewood-Flossmoor High School, Flossmoor, IL

More and more teachers are embracing the idea of allowing students to re-assess. But what does it look like in the classroom? How can we make it less of a headache and more of a remedy? In this session, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of re-assessment and identify methods to ease the implementation of re-assessment. Attendees will leave with a plan for re-assessment in their classrooms that emphasizes student learning and provides a pathway for documenting growth.

S-022 Alice SchilleUsing Survey Data for Curriculum PlanningPresenter: Isolde Mueller, St. Cloud State Uniersity, St. Cloud, MN

Th is session reports on how data from 607 student surveys was used to make informed decisions about implementing subject-specifi c language courses with a STEM or business emphasis in a college German program at a regional comprehensive university. Th ese changes in curriculum had become necessary to attract new students and fi t into the institution’s overall shift towards professional programs. The survey assessed student interest in those proposed curriculum changes in three parts. Correlating student responses with biographical data allowed for more focused curriculum development and more targeted recruitment. Presenter will share trends and fi ndings in student answers in the hope that educators in a similar situation will be able to make informed decisions in their curriculum revisions.

In today’s world where technology enables us to instantly communicate with people around the world, an image communicates powerfully and effectively: the image is truly worth a thousand words. Visual literacy is defined as the ability to interpret messages found in signs, images, gestures, films, maps, infographs, graphs, cartoons, photos, ads, illustrations in a children’s book, AND to create visual messages with attention to audience. It requires an ability to look at an image carefully in order to understand the intentions of the person who created the image. This session will focus on strategies that build visual literacy skills allowing students to demonstrate both the ability to identify the content of an image as well as the cultural competency to understand the message of the image.

for supporting details) often contain abstract language that can be difficult for second language learners to understand. Given this challenge, this interactive session seeks to provide teachers with concrete tools for helping their students process and learn language that is used to represent key discourse functions found in the AP exam. Through guided analysis of publicly available AP German test samples, participants will develop inventories of major interpretative question types and the language used to express them.

S-073 Emerson Burkhart AKeeping It Real ... Keeping It in the Target Language! Presenter: John De Mado, John De Mado Language Seminars, LLC, Marco

Island, FL

Steven Krashen advises us that acquisition of a second language is the result of ‘using that language’. His thinking underscores the need for those attempting to acquire a new language to stay in that target language as much as possible. What are the psycholinguistic characteristics needed to accomplish such a mission? What is the role of error in the language acquisition process? Is there a difference between ‘error’ and ‘mistakes’? Should we be concerned about ‘fossilization’? Participants will be exposed to current language acquisition research and understand the connection between risk-taking, vulnerability and intuition and language acquisition. Come and enjoy!

Assessment of unit goals will be outlined and the concept of a

“toolbox” to complete the unit plan is explained. Sample learning activities to strengthen cultural understandings and deepen content knowledge while building communication skills will be shared.

Though we now have awesome new resources via the web at our disposal, hands-on materials for German programs at all levels are becoming a rare commodity as time passes. This is especially problematic for our new colleagues, who don`t have many materials yet. Just as rare is the opportunity for most German educators to collaborate with colleagues. This session is designed so that anyone who has old materials (books, posters, maps, magazines, realia, games, etc.) that they are no longer using can bring them to give away. In addition, participants are encouraged to bring samples of their best teaching ideas to share with the group.

FRIDAY

S-083 C213Authentic Teaching in an International Baccalaureate ClassroomPresenter: Shanon Buckroyd, Goodrell Middle School, Des Moines, IA

Making learning authentic and real world for students in the language acquisition classroom is not always easy. Come and hear ideas and activities to give students authentic assessments and activities to help them become global citizens.

S-084 C215Building Bridges through Service Learning: Foreign Language Exploratory Programs and the University Capstone Course Presenter: Cynthia Chalupa, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV

University language programs can develop important connections to the community while also advocating for language learning through the establishment of service learning projects. This session highlights the steps involved in establishing a service learning course with college seniors who learn the fundamentals of FL teaching while reaching out to local schools and exposing young learners to a foreign language and culture. Participants will be given ideas for establishing an after-school program and materials for planning and teaching individual lessons.

S-085 C220CAAP Early Assessment Program for Ohio High SchoolsPresenter: Rebecca Bias, The Ohio State University Center for Languages,

Literatures and Cultures, Columbus, OH

This session will describe the CAAP Program at Ohio State’s Center for Languages, Literatures and Cultures. CAAP is an early assessment program for third year students of Spanish, French, German and Chinese. The program is FREE to all Ohio high schools and is now in its 23rd year! CAAP tested over 3000 high school students in the spring assessments for 2014 and offers technology workshops and online interactive practice exams. CAAP Professional Development efforts include various Technology Training Workshops for participating schools at their sites. These include, among others: Audacity Audio Recording Workshops (for easier and more efficient speaking assessment samples), Window Movie Maker Digital Composition Workshops, Mystery Skype and CAAP Grading Calibration Sessions. We also welcome CAAP groups each month to tour Hagerty Hall’s World Media and Culture Center Facilities and experience the new distance technologies being developed for large and small venue language instruction. Please join us to take advantage of all that CAAP has to offer!

S-087 C223Cuba - Yesterday, Today, TomorrowPresenter: Consuelo Blohm, Stow Munroe Falls High School (retired), Stow, OH

As history is in the making in Cuba at the present moment, it’s time to learn about Cuba’s past & present—its history, politics, music, food, traditions... and to discuss the possibilities that lie ahead in the future. Teachers—particularly Spanish teachers—will find this cultural presentation very timely to present to their students as we all await what will unfold in this beautiful island in the near future.

S-088 C216Don’t just TELL me, show me! Engagement Strategies for Real ClassroomsPresenter: Thomas Sauer, AdvanceLearning, Lexington, KY

Teachers are often told to “keep all students engaged all the time.” Easier said than done! Rarely do teachers have opportunities to observe effective engagement strategies in real classrooms. Embracing a seeing-is-believing approach to professional learning, this session will explore a variety of high-yield strategies through a new series of classroom videos that include reflections from teachers and students. These current videos allow teachers the opportunity to watch practices come alive, so that they may apply them in their own setting. Participants will also interact with other tools, such as a processing guide developed to facilitate professional learning built around the video modules, step-by-step directions for implementation, a research overview and more. Modules shared will focus on strategies that support hot-button issues for many teachers, such as the use of the target language, checking for understanding, and providing effective feedback to learners.

S-089 Elijah Pierce AEngage Students in Meaningful Research: Student-Led Research for Middle to Upper Level Modern Language CoursesPresenters: Kristen Karolak, University Liggett School, Grosse Pointe Woods,

MI; Georgina Milenius, University Liggett School, Grosse Pointe Woods, MI

This presentation aims to share a curriculum design that empowers students to choose a theme or topic of interest at the beginning of the course and carry it forward throughout the year. The students engage in meaningful research using the target language outside of the classroom. They share regularly with their classmates the ways in which their findings relate and impact the cultural topics that are being addressed in the class. The session will explain the curriculum design for implementing such a research strand into any middle to upper level language course as well as share examples of themes explored, student work, and evaluation methods. Students who learn about a topic of personal interest for an extended period of time demonstrate higher engagement, are more interested in teaching others, and feel a greater sense of ownership of their work. Additionally, the language learning is extended beyond the class with the ultimate goal of creating students who are self-motivated to read and listen to videos and podcasts on their own—the ultimate hook into learning language and culture.

S-095 Alice SchilleProcessing Instruction on the Acquisition of the Chinese Causative Construction with rang and the Chinese classifiers ba, tiao, tai, and zhang: The Roles of Explicit Information and Structured Input Activities. Presenters: Laurene Glimois, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH;

Xinyi Tan, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH

Processing instruction (PI) is an instructional technique that places emphasis on the creation of optimal form-meaning connections by directing second language learners toward effective processing strategies. PI generally consists of two components: explicit information (EI) and structured input activities (SI). The question of whether EI when provided to learners about a linguistic target structure is useful has been the focus of a number of previous studies. When investigating the effect of EI in PI, despite their variations from VanPatten and Oikkenon’s original research, these studies shared the same conclusions: EI is not a necessary part of PI, and SI alone is enough to improve acquisition. However, whether the aforementioned conclusions are limited to specific languages and linguistic structures remains largely uninvestigated, especially in regards to the Sino-Tibetan languages. In this session, we will present the design of an empirical study which is largely a replication of the VanPatten and Oikkenon study. It aims to further investigate the roles of EI and SI activities in PI by using two target structures in Mandarin: the causative construction with “rang”, and the classifiers “bǎ”; “tào”; “tái”, and “zhāng”. The presenters believe that the distinctive nature of these target structures will provide valuable Chinese data to PI research and deepen our understanding of the role of EI in PI.

Marisol Garrido, Eastern Michigan University, Ypsilanti, MI; Margarita Obregan, Western Illinois University, Macomb, IL

The acquisition and usage of the preterit and imperfect tenses in Spanish represents a challenge for both instructors and learners. On the one hand, the acquisition of aspect is difficult for English speakers as aspectual differences are signaled differently in both languages. On the other hand it is a key factor in assessing Spanish proficiency levels. This presentation addresses the progressive acquisition of these tenses from beginner to advanced levels. The results discussed are based on a writing task from 150 college students at different level of proficiency.

Enrollment numbers rarely allow for second-language French classes to consist of solely AP or IB students. Sometimes those students must coexist while walking towards separate goals; sometimes they are simply a minority in an otherwise advanced French class. The different focus of these two advanced programs poses a challenge for teachers in terms of curriculum, objectives, and methodological approach. How can one teacher effectively instruct a split class? Are AP and IB French students “stuck” together, or can they benefit from working with each other? What about students who are neither AP nor IB? In this presentation, we will examine how one textbook/curriculum may be adapted to both AP and IB to unite and strengthen a classroom split by different academic goals.

Moving from a more traditional text to one which is genuinely culture-based has been a challenge for instructors and students alike. However, this approach, which is designed to guide students toward proficiency in both language AND culture, has proven successful. Students in the program, most of whom are there primarily to fulfill a language requirement, enjoy the addition of meaningful cultural content and find the courses more relevant than anticipated.

S-142 Edward Parker HaydenExhibitor Session: Creative Writing in DaF Presenter: Irene Mrázek, German Central Agency for Schools Abroad, Bonn,

Germany

Creative writing goes beyond the traditional teaching of writing. Precise perception is perhaps the most important moment for the success of a creative text .The session is designed to be a small school of attention. Starting from various writing games we allow ourselves to raise awareness for our own expressive possibilities and talents. The aim of such writing is therefore not to get texts as the basis of performance evaluation. Texts should not be seen an annoying task. The motivation for writing should be in the students’ desire to communicate. We will try different writing exercises ourselves, thus will move into the role of students

What better way for students in foreign languages to see the potential path their careers can take than by listening to alumni from their program? The Institute for Japanese Studies at The Ohio State Universities created the Ohio-Japan Alumni Network (OH-JAN) to connect alumni from K-16 Japan-related programs in Ohio (language study, internships and study abroad) with the students of their alma mater. OH-JAN members serve as mentors and advocate for careers using Japanese through email, video, webinar, or in-person interactions and supporting the students in Japan-related programs at K-16 institutions across the state. Recorded videos, “The Role Japan-related programs played in my life and career,” help not only students but also parents and teachers understand potential career paths. Alumni can also serve as a conduit to develop internships or other programs at their companies for current Japanese students. This presentation discusses steps taken to form and grow OH-JAN.

S-249 C210Teaching With French PoetryPresenters: Judith M. Michaels, West DePere Public Schools (retired),

DePere, WI; Julia Price, Westosha Central High School, Salem, WI

French poetry is a literary genre useful for language acquisition. A discussion-question-answer format focuses on promoting literacy through effective strategies for teaching poetical language, elements, and figures of speech, along with useful classroom practices to get student involvement. Selected poems as ready-to-use assignments enhance critical thinking, analysis, and communication skills. The standards based unit of study is a progressive integration plan ready to adopt or to adapt into an existing curriculum at multiple levels.


S-250 Edward Parker HaydnArticulating Face-to-Face and Distance-Learning Activities in Online Courses: How Do We Hybrid? Presenters: Didier Bertrand, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis,

Indianapolis, IN; Enrica Ardemagni, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN; Amy Bomke-Keating, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN; Renee Gregory, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN

In hybrid language training, articulation between in-class and online activities is essential as both modes function together and complete each other. A pertinent question becomes “How do we hybrid?” There is not a single right answer, but a variety of them. If research shows that hybrid courses present numerous advantages over their face-to-face counterparts, there is, however, no consensus on how to combine these two modes efficiently. This session will present four modes of articulation that have worked at IUPUI in French, German, and Spanish hybrid classes. Examples in all three languages will be provided along with handouts and resources.

S-251 C220The 90%: Methods and Activities for Teaching More Easily and Effectively Presenters: Erin Parris-Dallia, Plymouth-Canton Community Schools, Plymouth,

MI; Jamie Terlaak, Plymouth-Canton Community Schools, Plymouth, MI

This session will provide a framework for planning lessons, activities and assessments that allow for more target language instruction as well as student communication during class.


S-252 Elijah Pierce B“As The Romans Do,” “Andre Länder, andre Sitten” Presenters: Francesca Muccini, Belmont University, Nashville, TN; Regine

Schwarzmeier, Belmont University, Nashville, TN; Mitch McCoy, Belmont University, Nashville, TN

As a result of globalization and changing technologies, people are increasingly required to engage with a broader world beyond their local and national communities. Consequently, it seems proper to foster more altruistic sentiments in students, enabling them to move beyond a single national identity and into the global community. Besides teaching students

to do practical things with words, instructors should help them function within the field of culture. By learning L2 utterances, gestures, idiomatic expressions, as well as popular music, traditions, and food habits students will be able to bring elements of the C2 back into their C1 and become aware of what that importation implicates. Presenters will share thoughts, resources, and activities designed to encourage students to undertake unfamiliar perspectives and view the world through new lenses.

S-253 Emerson Burkhart BThe FUNdamentals of Teaching Presenters: Lauren Sanders, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH;

Kristin Saxon, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH

Feeling overwhelmed by the current educational climate? Remember why you started teaching in the first place? What do you love about language learning? How do you know when you had a great lesson? Presenters will explore these questions and share ways to harness positive energy and help students feel connected and engaged. Leave with ideas for bringing more fun to your classroom in some small way, each day.

S-255 C222The Place of Learning Strategies in the World Language Classroom Presenters: Mariana Romero, Kent State University, Kent, OH; Kimberly

Talentino, Kent State University, Kent, OH

In this session attendees will participate in an interactive presentation about learning strategies. How can they be effectively taught? Which ones are suitable for certain modes of communication or various circumstances where students use the target language? Examples come from a pilot conducted in a college setting but this session is also appropriate for high school teachers.

Doody, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH

Th e presenters, who have lived in and traveled to many Spanish-speaking countries, will discuss ways teachers can get students interested in travel and then help them get on their way to having the experience of a lifetime. Tips for exchanges, service trips, and scholarships for students will be presented as well as opportunities for teachers also.

S-257 C221Un roman et un album pour enseigner la Première Guerre mondiale: Le Der des ders Presenter: Edward Ousselin, Western Washington University, Bellingham, WA

Th e goal of this session is to present a pedagogical unit on the First World War using the novel by Didier Daeninckx , Le Der des ders (1985 ) as well as the comic adaptation by Jacques Tardi in 1997. Daeninckx, known for his detective novels featuring a sociopolitical critique, depicted post- Great War Paris through the investigation of a private detective, haunted by the memories of what he suff ered in the trenches. Tardi ’s album renders Daeninckx’s novel, with its many historical and cultural references, more accessible to students. In this time of commemoration of the centenary of the First World War, the combination of a novel and an album that evoke the consequences of the long and bloody confl ict (rather than the battles themselves) can facilitate access to an important part of French historical memory.

S-258 Edna Boles HopkinsUsing “Bandes Dessinées” in the French ClassroomPresenters: Nicole Kaplan, Central College, Pella, IA; Maria Snyder, Central

College, Pella, IA

French graphic novels are more than comic books – literary works, autobiographies, history, and art all appear in this form. Th ere are so many choices that it’s hard to know where to start with bandes dessinées (BD). But the possibilities as a pedagogical tool are rich: accessible texts, engaging images, language ranging from slang to poetry, even new approaches to teaching fi lm and fi lm vocabulary. If you’ve never used BDs in class before, this presentation will help you overcome your fears and enrich your teaching repertoire. Sample lessons and handouts for intermediate to advanced-level French that include vocabulary, composition as well as conversation activities will be provided.
