Session 7. 9;00-12:30 a.m. Room: SDSU, Storm Hall 205 [LARC – LANGUAGE ACQUISITION RESOURCE CENTER, SDSU]

Educator Workshop: Integrating Technology into Language Learning and Teaching

8:15- 9:00 AM: Welcome guests

9:00 AM: Presentations start

1. 9:00- 10:00 AM: CAST Description: What is the CAST? The CAST is an online oral proficiency assessment designed to measure oral performance in a variety of languages at the intermediate and advanced levels. Feedback is aligned with ACTFL and ILR oral proficiency guidelines. Feedback on the CAST test is intended to provide the test taker with an informal, advisory estimate of likely performance on an official ACTFL or ILR Oral Proficiency Interview. During this presentation, attendees will be familiarized with the test for both Portuguese and Spanish languages and examples in both languages will be discussed. Presenters: Trevor Shanklin, LARC at SDSU; Cassia De Abreu, Department of Spanish and Portuguese at SDSU.

2. 10:00 – 11:00 AM: Digital Storytelling for World Language Practice with Thinglink and Movenote Description: In this workshop we will explore two web-based resources for transforming still digital images to interactive, animated, and media-rich stories - ThingLink and Movenote. The workshop will include: 1) a brief introduction to, and examples of, the two aforementioned tools, 2) a step-by-step demonstration of how to create, publish, and share a photo story, and 3) a hands-on activity where participants will use pictures to create a sample digital story. Participants are encouraged to participate and share their mini-projects, and discuss possible activities using these online resources.

Presenter: Evan Rubin, LARC at SDSU.

11:00- 11:15: BREAK

3. 11:15- 12:00 PM: Using Technology to Create Adapted and Semi-Authentic Classroom Materials Description: Language instructors often struggle to select level-appropriate authentic language materials. This is particularly the case of teachers of less commonly taught languages, who may not have a great variety of such materials available to them. In this session, we will show how instructors can choose, adapt, and create these types of resources.

Presenter(s): François Vanleene; Nadezda Novakovic, LARC at SDSU.

1. 12:00- 12:30 PM: COURSE KEY Description: This presentation is focused on introducing the concept of digital literacy and challenging educators at all levels of education to take steps toward digital citizenship. (We will be using the CourseKey platform on the tablets provided and using some of the core features throughout the demonstration). We will be giving a free copy of our new e-book to the attendees (we will need an email list of the attendees) which will have more in-depth background and information about the topics we could potentially discuss. · These topics are all featured on our website and I would like to hear your thoughts on which would be most relevant to the K-12 audience we will be presenting to. The following are potential topics of discussion: digital literacy and classroom integrity, understanding front and back-end classroom facilitation, mobile-enabled students and social learning, formative assessments and real-time results, providing answers to questions, connecting with students, attendance and student success, creating engagement in the classroom. Presenter(s): Cecília Vanshur; Ryan Vanshur, International Business Program, SDSU’s Zahn Innovation Center.
