Now, more than ever, technology is a tool that teachers can use to engage students in the process of learning. What tools are more effective for heritage and native speakers classes? What can I do as a teacher to engage and motivate my students to communicate in their heritage or native language? Through this webinar we will discuss and learn different ways to engage our students in classroom discussions. Through the technology tool, Voki, teachers will have the option to engage students with meaningful and significant activities related with their cultures. The teacher can create lessons to present and motivate students to create their own vokis for their projects, in that way they can explore their creativity, have fun and learn while they practice their interpersonal skills. | Elga D.

37 | Teaching and assessing grammar through critical pedagogy for Spanish heritage language | 2020-09-28 | Webinar | Online in Zoom | How can we teach grammar in a way that validates students’ home language practices, even when they differ from standard language? In this session, we will discuss the meaning of critical pedagogy and ways we can apply this perspective to language teaching. We will learn how to present several grammar topics from the perspective of critical pedagogy. This allows students to not only learn how to use these structures but also learn why standard language norms have adopted some structures while rejecting others. When students learn about grammar from a critical perspective, they are able to uncover prejudices that have shaped their own beliefs about language and respond constructively to discriminatory comments about language variation by applying knowledge about how notions of standard language have changed over time. The presentation will conclude with strategies for incorporating a critical perspective in grammar assessment. | Dr. Emily Bernate (St. Edward's University) | Texas Coalition for Heritage Spanish (TeCHS), Center for Open Educational Resources & Language Learning (COERLL) | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwulQJ8TOKo | |||||||||||||||||

About the presenters' projects: Kelly Arispe and Amber Hoye lead the Boise State University Department of World Languages' Pathways OER Language Teaching Repository, an open collection of instructional materials and professional development created by and uniquely for Idaho’s K-16 language teachers and students. Participating teachers and students come from different fields of study to create open digital activities that support the teaching and learning of foreign languages and promote intercultural competence. Kathryn Murphy-Judy, Ngoc-My Guidarelli, and Laura Middlebrooks are part of a team of faculty at Virginia Commonwealth University who have developed an open, connected platform where 202 students curate – search, select, and share – authentic materials online and discuss their work in virtual exchanges with native speakers. Upper-level students help triage and scaffold the best curations into online interactive modules, with an eventual goal of integrating the materials into a a series of open textbooks.

Are you interested in providing your students with openly available course materials? Please join us on for a half-day workshop on open educational resources (OER). We’ll be talking about where you can find OER, how to interpret reuse options on OER, and how to remix OER materials with existing content you may have. This workshop is intended for those who are teaching at UT Austin (whether graduate students, adjuncts or full-time faculty) and who are relatively new to OER. We welcome anyone interested in being more open in their classes, but activities will focus on swapping out specific pieces of a syllabus or incorporating supplemental materials, rather than replacing an entire course curriculum. Registration is free and lunch is included. We are limiting enrollment to 25 people to allow for meaningful hands-on activities. | OER Working Group members, David Barny (University of Texas at Austin, Department of French and Italian) | University of Texas Libraries, Texas Digital Library, Center for Open Educational Resources & Language Learning (COERLL) | ||||||||||||||||||

Rather than focusing on canonical literature, FLLITE lessons focus on the poetics of everyday language (e.g., conversations, letters, blogs, YouTube videos, etc.). The goal of this workshop is to help foreign language teachers develop original materials based on authentic texts that promote language awareness and communicative abilities through the integration of reading, listening, speaking, and writing tasks.

There will be a 25 minute presentation segment, and the rest of the hour will be for questions and discussion. Read a summary of this discussion on COERLL's blog. Information about presenters and their work: Sonia Balasch worked with a team of colleagues to create Español y cultura en perspectiva: A collection of nine critical-thinking thematic lessons composed of Spanish language readings and communicative activities for intermediate-level students of Spanish. Margherita Berti created Italian Open Education, a website that offers a collection of openly-licensed and free-to-use 360-degree virtual reality videos for Italian learners and teachers. Julianne Hammink is working with the Center for ESL at the University of Arizona to develop instructional materials for ESL and Academic Pathways programs. These materials are developed from Open Educational Resources. They are finishing the first year of the project, and many of our instructional materials are now in use. David Thompson completed a series of problem-based learning units for advanced students of Spanish available to instructors online as OER to use or modify. The purpose of the units is to provide advanced students of Spanish a series of compelling problems from Spanish culture and society to solve collaboratively in small teams.

71 | Cité Teens Talking Back: North African French Adolescents' Everyday Identity Performances | 2019-04-26 | Presentation | Glickman Center RLP 1.302B | The University of Texas Department of French and Italian French Linguistics Speaker Series This lecture showcases ethnographic research and discourse analysis to frame the increasingly important linguistic and social context of les cités or low-income housing projects that surround Paris. Based upon linguistic anthropological fieldwork completed over 18 initial months and 4 subsequent trips to Nanterre, France, this case study engages with practical examples of North African French teens’ everyday talk with peers. The communicative practices of adolescents of Arab heritage living in France convey with lively specificity how these young people negotiate larger dilemmas of gender and ethnicity. Through their ritualized, peer-based language innovation, Muslim teenagers in the French cités “talk back” to stigmatizing discourses and, by semiotically reframing such discourses, collectively build rich, morally structured, transcultural worlds. | Dr. Chantal Tetreault Associate Professor of Anthropology The University of Michigan | |||||||||||||||||||

In addition to exploring available materials, attendees will learn how teachers in Texas authored lessons and worked with the University of Texas at Austin’s Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning to share their work with teachers across the state. About the project: Juntos is a series of units for Heritage Spanish learners in grades 6-12. Three lessons aligned to the K12 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) comprise each unit. Relevant scenarios related to personal life, college tasks, career readiness and civic participation frame each lesson and increase student engagement by making learning authentic and relevant to real issues that students face. Each lesson identifies an intermediate or advanced proficiency target that supports language acquisition in the interpersonal, interpretive and presentational modes. The project also provides teachers with a replicable approach to lesson design for adapting or creating their own materials. | Meredith Clark, José Sologuren | |||||||||||||||||||
