LILT Annual Conference 2024

This workshop aims to help educators create meaningful activities centered around authentic resources. To begin, we will provide a brief overview of the modes of communication, the NYS standards and what defines an authentic resource. Next, we will demonstrate how to design activities that incorporate the interpretive, interpersonal and presentational modes of communication. These communication forward activities will allow teachers to meet the new NYS standards while actively engaging students in the target language. We will spend some time addressing the use of AI to generate ideas and activities. Participants should bring their own device and previously found an authentic resource they would like to implement in a lesson. We will dedicate time during the workshop for lesson planning and activity creation.
