Connect with us in Orlando For over 50 years, EF has been working toward one global mission: Opening the World Through Education. Together with educators worldwide, we provide 21st century learning experiences that promote critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and global competence. Teaching these skills is essential—teaching them in London, Paris, or Beijing is transformative. APPLY FOR EF’S 2017 PROFESSIONAL LEARNING SCHOLARSHIP

Apply for the chance to travel with educators from across the U.S. to Helsinki, Finland. There you’ll explore the foundation and future of education through the lens of Finnish education. From there travel to Milan, Italy, where you’ll join educators and students from across North America and Europe for a two-day leadership conference focused on the Future of Food. Hear from our keynote— former career chef, bestselling author, and television host and producer, Anthony Bourdain—and other world-renowned speakers as you participate in expert-led professional learning workshops and rethink education’s role in this important global issue. Stop by our booth to apply, or contact JoAnne Sanderlin at joanne.sanderlin@ef.com or Alina Puentes at alina.puentes@ef.com.

THREE WAYS TO CONNECT WITH US AT SCOLT:

1. Stop by the Scolt Sponsors and Patrons Business Meeting and Reception We’re proud to be sponsoring Friday’s evening reception. Be sure to say hello!

2. Visit us at Booth G Meet with members of the EF team to discuss how you can bring your foreign language curriculum to life through educational travel.

3. Check out our session: Gloom or Boom? Professional Development that Inspires and Energizes Join Annette Galindo of St. Edward’s School and George Stewart of EF Educational Tours to explore how you can connect your classroom to the world of your target language. You’ll leave with new ideas for how to build a network of enthusiastic language teachers while satisfying the need to earn CEUs (Professional Development hours/units), or continue your graduate studies while reinvigorating your own language skills.

YOHANNA JIMÉNEZ

The SCOLT Board of Directors would like to warmly welcome you to fun and sunny Orlando! We are so glad you are here to explore this year’s theme, Languages: Your Global Fast Pass. Many have the misconception that Orlando is just theme parks and tourists, but there is a rich cultural and linguistic diversity in the Central Florida area that makes it special and unique for all to discover. Just like we do for our students in our classrooms, we must open hearts and minds to see beyond stereotypes and to appreciate the products, practices and perspectives of others. At the Sponsor and Patron Reception on Friday night, we hope to do just that as you will have the opportunity to see another side of Florida at the Orange County Regional History Center. We are so grateful that you are here at the 2017 SCOLT conference as it is exceedingly more and more important that we, as a profession, collaborate, connect and build a stronger community of language educators. There are so many people to thank for making this conference possible. The Florida Foreign Language Association: I am excited and proud that my home state language organization is partnering with SCOLT to provide outstanding sessions, services and support throughout the conference, as well as some kind, friendly hospitality.

WELCOME LETTER

Dear Attendees, SEALLT is thrilled to continue our partnership with SCOLT. We would like to welcome you to the 2017 conference in Orlando, Florida where we will be taking a “fast pass” to global languages! For those of you who do not know, SEALLT is a regional group of the International Association for Language Learning Technology (IALLT), a professional organization established in 1965 whose members provide leadership in the development, integration, evaluation and management of instructional technology for the teaching and learning of language, literature and culture. While our members consist primarily from Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida, we welcome anyone interested in language learning technology. This year SEALLT has prepared three hands-on workshops and several technology-focused sessions. We hope you will join us at these workshops and sessions to not only learn something new, but to also provide assistance and encouragement to implement technology into your classroom. You are also invited to drop by the SEALLT Technology Corner in the exhibit hall where we look forward to meeting you and to answering your questions. We also invite you to get information about any upcoming conferences. The officers and I hope you have a productive and enlightening conference which will allow you to take a “fast pass”.

WELCOME LETTER

Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Florida Foreign Language Association (FFLA), I welcome you all to Orlando. FFLA is delighted to have SCOLT in Florida for the first time in many years and to strengthen our relationships with other southern region associations as we all work toward advancing the world language profession. This year is an extra special occasion as we co-host this year’s conference with our long-time FFLA member, Linda Markley, as SCOLT president. I thank David Jahner, Linda Markley, and the SCOLT board for all of their hard work in designing this conference as a purposeful and innovative professional development experience. I encourage you to actively participate in sessions and interact with publishers and exhibitors so that you return to the classroom invigorated with new ideas to share with colleagues and administrators about the value of world languages. Finally, may your professional growth at SCOLT 2017 help you show your students that languages and intercultural competence are their “Global Fast Pass” to a life full of personal and professional success.

In imagining the scope of this volume, we draw on works such as Osborn’s (2006) Teaching World Language for Social Justice and Norton and Toohey’s (2004) Critical Pedagogies and Language Learning, and embrace more recent contributions such as Glynn, Wesely, and Wassell’s (2015) Words and Actions: Teaching Languages Through the Lens of Social Justice. For this issue of Dimension, we welcome submissions that focus on the teaching, learning, and/or assessment of social justice and critical pedagogy including topics such as transformative learning, problem-based learning, critically reflective practice, community engagement, experiential and service learning, critical language awareness, critical multiliteracies, issues of access and resources, emancipatory pedagogy, among other humanitarian topics in language learning. Also welcome are submissions that deal with language teacher development and continuing professional education in these emerging topics. Submissions exploring theoretical and development models or providing empirical evidence of best teaching practices will be prioritized, as will submissions received by the July 1st, 2017 deadline.

Big C, Little c...How Cultured are You? Maria Villadoniga, Retired, St. Johns County School District; Gale Jones, Teacher, Fletcher High School, Duval County

Paula Renzi-Callaghan, The University of Alabama; Kelilah Anders, John Champe High School

Do you know the difference between BIG C and little c in Culture? Do you know what the 3 P’s are? If you answered NO to either or both of these questions, then this workshop is especially for YOU! We will explain the difference between the “C’s” and discuss the 3 P’s, providing examples of all 3. This is an interactive session in which attendees will walk out with ways in which to teach culture focusing on the BIG C’s.

While many high schools and universities have adopted Communicative Language Teaching in language instruction, textbooks, however, provide grammar-centered tests, making it hard for teachers to completely implement CLT in testing. A French Graduate Teaching Assistant from The University of Alabama and a French teacher from John Champe High School in Aldie, VA will discuss their methodology of creating a CLTcentered test; student outcomes; student feedback; and, provide test samples. Presentation is in English with supporting documents in French.

Are You on Target? Connecting Proficiency Principles with Learning Targets

SATURDAY | MARCH 18

Thomas Sauer, AdvanceLearning Many teachers wonder if this is the right activity or objective they should be focusing on today? Developing learning targets is not something that can happen the night before class, but requires careful planning at a number of different levels. However, it is at this stage perhaps the most important of all the different ways planning happens. Reviewing and expanding on foundational concepts, this session will make the case for the importance of learning targets while planning for learning.

Linguistics in K-16 World Language Instruction: Creating a Culture of Inquiry

AP Central - Your Fast Pass to Success!

Stephanie Knouse, Furman University

There is a wide variety of free resources available on AP Central for the eight AP World Language and Culture courses and their exams. In this presentation, learn how to navigate around AP Central to discover where to find these resources and how to use them to inform , support, and strengthen your AP World Language and Culture program.

This session features how world language (WL) educators can design and implement lessons, class activities, and collaborative projects that encourage learners to become experts and researchers in linguistics. By incorporating content such as language ideology, dialectology, bilingualism, and sociolinguistics, educators can expose students to key linguistic issues that are typically absent from K-16 language classes. Preliminary evidence suggests that the content and strategies presented in this session can motivate WL learners of all levels and help educators develop global citizens.

Albert Fernandez, St. Mary Magdalen Catholic School A student once told me that she “loved that we don’t learn anything in class.” As she said this, she was writing and illustrating an original comic in the TL. Her comment taps into a movement in language teaching that focuses less on grammar and more on using the language to communicate in and out of the classroom. Learn about techniques, strategies, and activities that can move students away from grammar-based and into the world of real language users.
