Do your students have opportunities to express themselves and share their interests in class? Through creative writing in the target language, they can showcase their strengths, interests, and cultural backgrounds. Strategies for writing and reading will be shared to enhance learning. Let’s express and embrace distinct ideas and values while building connectedness through students’ written works!
In this interactive session, participants will explore strategies to engage students while using technology, real-life cultural contexts, and small-group activities. By examining students' work samples and participating in some engaging activities, attendees will discover the power of students engaging and its positive impact on their learning outcomes.
Learn about the WL Reading Challenge, a successful initiative between CLTA and the California Dept of Education, and how teachers can easily implement it in their schools. You will hear from past participats and the benefits it has brought their students, language programs, and school communities. You will be provided with resources and strategies to implement the Challenge in your own classroom!
