STARTALK: Preparing Russian Teachers for the 21st Century Day 1

Objectives By the end of today’s work together, participants will..... O Comfortably collaborate with the participants, staff, and instructors O Describe (in their journal) the importance of maximum comprehensible target language use and begin to develop techniques for providing comprehensible input O Recognize how the world language teaching profession has evolved in the US O Describe their strengths and areas of growth as world language teachers O Use (with assistance) a range of technological tools (including Moodle) that will be valuable in their personal learning as teachers as well as in the teaching and learning of their students

Icebreaker O Human bingo

Demo class O ¡Bienvenidos a la clase de español!

O Me llamo _____________. O ¿Cómo te llamas? O Mucho gusto. O Adiós.

Debrief O How did it feel to be a “student” again? O How much Spanish did the instructor use? O How were you able to understand what she was saying? O How was this experience similar/different than what you have experienced as a student in language courses?

Maximum Language Use O Some terminology: O Target language (TL) O Second language (L2) O Native language (L1) O How much language? O ACTFL position statement: ageid=4368#targetlang = 90% ageid=4368#targetlang

STARTALK-endorsed principles O O Using the Target Language and Providing Comprehensible Input for Instruction O The teacher uses the target language at least 90 percent of the time. O The teacher uses a variety of strategies to make language comprehensible, monitors student comprehension, and makes adjustments as necessary. O The teacher avoids the use of translation by using verbal and non-verbal strategies and also avoids eliciting translation from students.

How to maximize target language use (actfl.org) O provide comprehensible input that is directed toward communicative goals; O make meaning clear through body language, gestures, and visual support; O conduct comprehension checks to ensure understanding; O negotiate meaning with students and encourage negotiation among students; O elicit talk that increases in fluency, accuracy, and complexity over time; O encourage self-expression and spontaneous use of language; O teach students strategies for requesting clarification and assistance when faced with comprehension difficulties; and O offer feedback to assist and improve students’ ability to interact orally in the target language.

TPR O (Examples - #2)

Realia O Cultural objects O Clothing, money, food – bring in the real thing! O Other manipulatives O Plastic/toy versions O Pictures/Drawings/Photos O Laminated O Presented in multimedia

World Language Teaching O The evolution of our profession O Grammar-translation O Direct Method O “Designer methods” O TPR O Suggestopedia O Audiolingual O Community language learning O Communicative, standards-based

21 st Century Classroom O In pairs.... O Categorize the language class descriptions you are given into two sets: O In the past.... O Today.... O Self-correct using p. 4 of 21 st Century Skills Map m/file/view/ACTFL+2011+P- 21+worldlanguages+skills+map.pdf

Standards O Implementing a Standards-Based and Thematically Organized Curriculum O Every lesson derives from a standards-based unit that culminates in students developing the ability to engage in spontaneous, unrehearsed communication for real- world purposes. O Each lesson has clearly stated cultural objectives that indicate what students will be able to do and what they need to know by lesson’s end. O Grammar is not the focus of the course, unit, or lesson. The teacher teaches grammar as a tool for communication, avoiding meaningless rote drills and ensuring that all practice requires attention to meaning. Examples

World Language Standards O The 5 C’s O Today’s focus for the workshop: communication O 3 modes of communication O 1.1 Interpersonal O 1.2 Interpretive O 1.3 Presentational O Pp of your Russian Standards document

Sample can-do statements O Linguafolio examples O I can exchange personal information using phrases and simple sentences. O I can give simple directions to a location. O I can recognize words, phrases, and characters with help from visuals. O

Russian Sample Learning Scenarios O In teams (3 teams)... O Read each teaching/learning activity given to you (taken directly from sample lessons in your Russian standards document) O Put each activity into one of three categories O Interpersonal O Interpretive O Presentational

Russian Sample Learning Scenario O Take a look at the learning scenario given to you, and decide which of the 3 modes of communication are addressed in the lesson O Could be one, two, or all three O Pp in Standards PDF
