Connecting through Interculturality
Building interculturality is crucial to cultivating students’ enthusiasm for language learning. By providing opportunities to reflect on their own culture and connect to other cultures, we can deepen their curiosity and foster new understanding and appreciation. Join us as we explore our immersion experience that allows students to investigate products and practices in the target language in order to better understand cultural perspectives. Learn how these rich resources can support your world language classroom and increase your students’ enthusiasm for language learning.

Connecting through Communities
Let your Spanish-speaking students find their voice by connecting with their community both in and out of the classroom. Carnegie Learning's En voz alta program strengthens students' pride in their heritage and develops students’ confidence to express themselves in their communities. Join us for a discussion on how Carnegie Learning can encourage your students to engage with their local communities at home and school as well as at the national and global level.

Connecting through Differentiation
Connect with each of your students by learning how to differentiate tasks with authentic resources so that the resources are comprehensible and meaningful for students at a variety of proficiency levels. We will explore ways to edit the task, not the text with videos, news articles, songs, and more. Specific strategies for developing the three modes of communication and promoting student choice will be offered.

Connecting through Communication
Why do most people say they want to study a world language? To speak it! Join us for a conversation around preparing your students for proficiency by building their listening and speaking confidence. We will share ideas and best practices on getting your students talking and how you can provide authentic ways for your students to immerse themselves in cultures around the globe!
