An advanced undergraduate-level course.
This book presents an intermediate-advanced level course that employs preexisting resources and materials created by the author, Dr. Emily Kuder, to facilitate the learning of topics related to hispanic dialectology and sociolinguistics through openly available content. The book can be used by learners as a self-guided course or by a group of learners in a conventional class as a textbook.
Chapter 1: La sociolingüística del español
Chapter 2: El contacto lingüístico
Chapter 3: El cambio lingüístico

This book has five chapters with three stories per chapter for a total of 15 units to work with. Each chapter has a small cultural research assignment with extra credit opportunities. It also contains hyperlinks to websites about vacations, food, and more. It is meant to be a supplement to in-class instruction. If you are new to TPRS, check out the methodology before jumping in.

For less commonly taught languages, you may be the ONLY teacher for your language! Or perhaps you are a rural teacher and you are the entire world language department. Either way, this is an information presentation on a "spiraled curriculum" which will help decrease your prep load while increasing retention and practice for your students!

This course introduces students to the principles of computation. Upon completion of 6.001, students should be able to explain and apply the basic methods from programming languages to analyze computational systems, and to generate computational solutions to abstract problems. Substantial weekly programming assignments are an integral part of the course. This course is worth 4 Engineering Design Points.

I will explore the use of game-enhanced (not designed specifically for world language learning) vs. game-based (games specifically designed for world language classroom use) technology games. I used both in my classroom and surveyed students on effectiveness and usability. Games can be an area where we can really enhance student motivation and time-spent on world language learning outside the classroom. I will give examples of games that can be used and explain how I integrated them into class. I will also cover how I graded participation and show the benefits to students/teachers of using this approach.Terri Wright, Millard Public Schools, tlwright@mpsomaha.org 

Students participate in a JiTT activity to read the front pages of two target language newspapers and to report the content to their classmates in the target language. When this exercise is done on a regular basis, it can result in increasing vocabulary and speech fluency.

In a class of 30 students, it may be challenging to reach every individual student. This is where learning stations are helpful in meeting individual students’ needs. The purpose of reorganizing the classroom (entirely or partially) into learning stations is to allow the teacher to provide the highest quality instruction to a small group of students while other students work independently, productively and cooperatively in a variety of interconnected tasks at other learning stations. In this presentation, Sasha Van Zandt and Lisa Maupin will cover the logistics of learning stations as well as the integration of authentic resources and technology (Chromebooks) into learning stations.Sasha Van Zandt (Lincoln Northwest High), Lisa Maupin (Lincoln East High)

Vocabulary – NationalityStudents will love practicing the vocabulary in this introductory lesson plan on nationality! Students will work on pairing countries with nationalities and languages. Ideally, they will have a bit of prior experience identifying countries and flags. If your students are just starting out, try using this lesson along with the first unit in Off2Class’s Step-by-Step curriculum Let’s Start.If you want additional lesson plans and support, including teachers’ notes, be sure to register for a free Off2Class account.

Il volume rappresenta la tappa finale della prima stagione di implementazione del Progetto ABACUS (giugno 2019 - settembre 2020), sostenuta dal finanziamento pubblico garantito dalla Regione Siciliana e dalla Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri. In tal senso, la pubblicazione raccoglie sia una sezione di materiali di discussione critica sul percorso progettuale e sui primi esiti maturati, sia una ricca parte di contributi tematici offerti da referenti istituzionali, studiosi ed esperti, docenti accademici e ricercatori, professionisti e rappresentanti di organismi del Terzo settore Sono state così affrontate ed esaminate differenti tematiche e problematiche socio-culturali e socio-economiche, e prospettive e approcci metodologico-operativi tra loro affini e convergenti, che si sviluppano a cavallo delle politiche sociali, giovanili e culturali, della progettazione sociale e culturale, dell'innovazione sociale e della diversità culturale, in differenti contesti socio-territoriali siciliani e italiani, con una particolare attenzione per quelle iniziative che rappresentano casi paradigmatici in cui le istanze istituzionali, della ricerca, dell'educazione e della formazione si incontrano con le aspettative dei pubblici differenziati e, specialmente, delle giovani generazioni, anche sull'orizzonte della innovazione dell'occupazione giovanile.
