TABLE OF CONTENTS

Dr. Jim Chesnut The Boards of the Foreign Language Association of Georgia (FLAG) and the Southern Conference on Language Teaching (SCOLT) would like to dedicate the 2018 conference program to honor the memory of Dr. Jim Chesnut, Professor of French at North Georgia University in Dahlonega. He served as President of both FLAG and SCOLT and worked tirelessly to promote and advocate for world language education. He also served with the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF) and the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). He was recognized by the French government with the Orde des Palmes Académics for his significant contributions to the study of French language and culture. He led student study trips to Quebec for many years as well.

Dr. Chesnut passed away this past August. He leaves behind a legacy of distinction and every world language educator in Georgia and the Southeast benefits from his contributions.

Thank you so much for spending your time and resources with your Southern World Language Professional Learning Community this year in Atlanta. The SCOLT Board along with our partnering organizations, FLAG and SEALLT, are dedicated to making sure you have enjoyable and quality development opportunities throughout the conference. Our conference theme this year is not only a play on the Atlanta airport code, but also a call to all the levels that make language learning possible. “Proficiency: ATL - All The Levels” reaches out to all learners and teachers along the life-long continuum that is world language education. We are all connected by a common goal but also have our own unique teaching situations and learning needs and it is my hope that no matter your level of expertise, your level of instruction, or your target age level, that you will engage in experiences at SCOLT that fulfill your goals. Just some of the conference highlights this year are: 1. A keynote speech by ACTFL’s Teacher of the Year, Ying Jin. 2. The best session from each state conference in the SCOLT region. 3. A chance to meet the World Language Teacher of the Year from each state in the SCOLT region. 4. A Dual Language Immersion strand.

Hats also go off to both ACTFL and SEALLT for continuing to provide fantastic workshops and sessions that keep teachers engaged and up to date on the latest and most inspiring ways to connect to the various levels of learners they instruct. ACTFL’s Teacher of the Year, Ying Jin, will also be at the conference, providing words of wisdom through her keynote speech and instructional tips during her session with Marty Abbott, ACTFL Executive Director. Other key contributors to our conference are the various exhibitors that come to share the latest and greatest tools to help students on their language journeys. Please visit the exhibit hall to check out their cool “stuff” and thank them for their contribution to the conference. Want to experience even more of SCOLT after hours? Become a Sponsor and Patron at the registration area and join the fun at the S and P reception Friday night, have some adult refreshments, learn about the status of SCOLT in 2018, or just keep mingling with colleagues to extend your PD experience. I hope to see you there. And finally, I would like to challenge you to get the most out of all that this conference has to offer. Just being here is a testament to your dedication to the field and your love for language learners so please use this time wisely to help you achieve a new level of knowledge and skills to carry home with you.

DEAR COLLEAGUES, The FLAG Board and I would like to welcome you to the 2018 conference. We are excited to partner with SCOLT and SEALLT. The theme of this year is Proficiency: ATL - All The Levels. The theme is perfect for our work as we work towards raising students’ language proficiency and their cultural competence as well. We realize how difficult it can be to secure funding for the registration and to leave your classrooms for the day. It is my sincere hope that you will be able to find sessions which excite and renew you. I also hope that you will meet and network with other colleagues not only from Georgia but across the Southeast. There will be over 150 concurrent sessions for you to attend. It is so important that we, as language educators and administrators, work together to promote world language education. We understand the importance of language, but at times it can be difficult to make others understand why it is important. As a collaborative group, we have more power to make our voice heard. Finally, I would like to thank you for all of your hard work on behalf of the students. To provide students the chance to achieve a high level of proficiency will change the oft misused expression “global competence” into a reality for our students. Without you, nothing would be possible. We thank you for your enthusiasm, hard work, and passion for world languages. A quote from Frank Smith sums up our mission: “One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way.” Enjoy the conference! Sincerely, Rhonda L. Wells President Foreign Language Association of Georgia

WELCOME LETTER

DEAR ATTENDEES, SEALLT is thrilled to continue our partnership with SCOLT. We would like to welcome you to the 2018 conference in Atlanta, Georgia where we will strive for Proficiency: ATL - All The Levels! 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 table 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 become Proficient: ATL at all levels. We all look forward to meeting you.

“We Want to Start an Immersion Program: Where Do We Begin?” Jon Valentine, Gwinnett County Public Schools

Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) grew from zero dual language immersion (DLI) programs in 2012 to nine programs in 2019. This growth is the result of an enormous amount of work by teachers, principals, district staff, parents, and community members. The fundamental question in starting (and leading) a DLI program is: How do you convince every party to accept, support, and champion this work? Come learn how this occurred in our district - and spend time building your own game-plan!

Ideas to Create Engaging Centers and Resources to Survive in the DLI Classroom

So now you have elementary school underway - what next? In this workshop participants will have the opportunity to explore steps to consider when planning for immersion as it progresses into the secondary world. What might it look like? Who should be part of this planning at district, school and community levels? What are some possible models for immersion at middle grades? This interactive workshop will allow participants to learn and share their experiences.

This session will break down how a typical day looks like in the DLI classroom—scheduling ideas, strategies to implement with non-native speakers, and how a student will develop the language naturally. Online resources, lesson ideas and topics, Literacy and Math center activities, and how to adapt lessons already made will be shared to ease the time for DLI teachers. In addition, information on how to keep parents engaged and informed within the target language, by using newsletters, blogs and more.

Pathways to Proficiency

Bring Literacy to Life in a Proficiency-based Classroom

The use of online course content is often underutilized in helping students reach proficiency goals. By incorporating key strategies in language learning, like self-assessment, reflection and the addition of mastery activities, teachers are able to better use technology to help students reach proficiency. By adding additional step procedures such as course checkins, restrictions, and checklists, students are able to easily navigate online courses. These components help teachers to create multiple loops and pathways for students to reach proficiency.

When moving from the textbook to a proficiency-based, communicative model, it is often hard to determine not only what kind of literacy to incorporate, but how. This session will lead teachers through three phases. First of all, it is necessary to recognize what kind of literacy is appropriate for their students, then how and where in class is it most effective and lastly, how? Most teachers struggle with what to do with literacy and how to make it interactive and interesting.

Students live in a hurry-up world of busy parents, school pressures, incessant lessons, video games, and sports. We don’t think of these influences as stressful for them and how are effecting their innate joy. We find mindfulness can help counter these pressures. When students learn techniques for self-health, relaxation, and inner fulfillment, they can navigate life’s challenges more easily. Mindfulness encourages selfesteem and body awareness with a physical activity that’s noncompetitive. Fostering cooperation and compassion is a great gift to give.

Help Your Students Go from Anxious to Zen

The Role of Advocacy in Building Foreign Language Proficiency at All Levels

Whether you teach apprehensive AP students or zany kindergarten kids, we will teach you how to use the target language and proven techniques to promote focus and to lessen the anxiety of language acquisition in your students. Mindfulness can be a form of paying attention. Repetition can be a mantra. Even gratitude can be used to learn additional vocabulary. We will show you how simple breathing and focus exercises can take your language class from anxious to zen.

With enrollment in foreign languages at less than 20% of K-12 public school students and at only 8.1% of college and university students, the most pressing goal of foreign language educators is to increase the level of interest in learning another language, as well as awareness of the benefits of foreign language skills and sustained foreign language study, among students and prospective students, parents, and decision-makers at all levels. Successful advocacy will be discussed, along with future directions.

When moving from the textbook to a proficiency-based, communicative model, it is often hard to not only know what kind of literacy to incorporate, but how. This session will lead teachers through three phases. First of all, it is necessary to recognize what kind of literacy is appropriate for their students, then how and where in class is it most effective and lastly, how? Most teachers struggle with what to do with literacy and how to make it interactive and interesting.

In this session I will share what I have learned over the past 2 years of rewriting my German 1 curriculum and changing my grading policies to be learner-centered and proficiency-focused. I will share ways to improve proficiency-based speaking, writing, reading, and listening assessments and to grade them in a way that keeps the focus on mastery of communicative skills related to ACTFL proficiency levels. I will provide practical steps for using standards-based grading in traditional school systems.

In this session you will learn how to take a difficult reading and make it 100% comprehensible for you students. Using a series of Embedded Readings, you can teach specific vocabulary and grammar in context to reach a more advanced reading.

FRIDAY | MARCH 16

Participants learn more than five strategies using Seesaw, the easy interactive portfolio site. The foci of the session are strategies and activities that facilitates student accountability, increasing productive parental involvement and innovative learning.

Enhancing Multilingual Awareness: Texts from Persian Speakers in German Class

Diane Richardson & Leila Ketterlinus, US Military Academy West Point Texts and textual practices of the multilingual landscape can serve as beneficial supplements in the language classroom. This includes all kinds of texts that are not exclusively in the standard version of the target language or from the target culture. Incorporating such texts can assist in transforming the monolingual mindset still present in language teaching today. This session discusses a pedagogical unit that integrated texts from speakers of Persian into second and third semester German courses at a US university.

Teaching Grammar through Stories

Jamie Vega, Sequoyah High School & Elsie Ratliff, Lambert High School Teaching grammar in contextualized situations is ideal. It helps students learn the concept of the language in context and allows the teacher stay in the target language. But many times, the textbook does provide these materials for us and we need to create them. In this session, we will give several strategies with many examples on how to create and incorporate stories, both verbal and written into your curriculum. You will walk away with materials you can immediately use.

Lara Larson, Grayson High School

SATURDAY | MARCH 17

One of the benefits of technology for students is that it gives access to new ideas and new ways to practice existing concepts. Not all students learn the same way and at the same speed, giving choices of how to learn can be powerful for students. This is especially true with diverse populations of students who come from different backgrounds and have had different experiences with learning.

It is his dream one day to earn his Ph.D. and teach French language at a college or university.

Stacy E. Stepney, President’s Award Ms. Stacy E. Stepney, Associate Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction in DeKalb County School District, supports and offers guidance to all district-level and school-level staff, parents/guardians, students, and community members. As Associate Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, she analyzes formative and summative data to make instructional adjustments, shares curricula updates and research-based practices to improve student performance outcomes, plans and conducts professional development activities, and promotes parental awareness and involvement. She fosters a culture that focuses on student learning, high expectations, innovation, and collaboration. Prior to joining the Division of Curriculum and Instruction in 2008, Ms. Stepney served as the Principal at Dunwoody High School for six years. Throughout her professional career at Dunwoody High School for 15 years, she assisted in the personal, social, and academic growth of students through her works as a substitute, paraprofessional, teacher, assistant principal, interim principal, and principal.

World Languages Blended Learning Program, Innovative Program Award K-12 The Henry County Schools World Languages Blended Learning Program was developed by Mrs. Rocio Morrison, World Languages Coordinator and a team of outstanding teachers who volunteered to participate in the project. In 2015, Morrison was tasked with leading the Blended Learning initiative, conducted research, and designed a plan for effective implementation of Blended Learning in the World Languages (WL) classroom. Morrison’s plan was designed based on her department’s needs and the school district’s Personalized Learning vision. The team of teachers also designed instructional plans based on their students’ needs and the guidelines and recommendations provided by Morrison. Each year, Morrison and the team assess their plans, make recommendations, and make adjustments to the Blended Learning project designs as needed. The innovative program is now in its third year of successful operation based on standardized assessment data and performance-based results. Currently, 11 schools offering Spanish, French, German, and Mandarin Chinese courses participate in Blended Learning. The initial purpose of the project was to establish personalized technology enabled classrooms in WL and the goal became to use technology as a tool to enhance the Communication Competency (Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational Modes). The focus of the project is to develop students’ speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills to be able to use the language and maximize the students’ experience with the Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities Competencies presented by the WL teacher during traditional instruction. During the first phase of implementation, the team discovered that in addition to the implementation process and transition to innovative instructional practices, the establishment of a Professional Learning Community (PLC) where the WL administrator, teachers, and students support one another and celebrate each other’s success is the key to an engaging and personalized Blended Learning Program. Currently, the HCS WL Blended Learning Program PLC includes 21 teachers, 700 students, and 1 district administrator. The PLC collaborates in program development, professional learning, and conference presentations to share the work with colleagues. The success of the program has caught the attention of Rosetta Stone who conducted a Case Study on the innovative work in 2016 as well as ACTFL’s Executive Director, Mrs. Marty Abbott, who visited two of the Henry County Schools World Language Blended Learning Programs in August of 2017. In November, 2017, Morrison and four members of the HCS Blended Learning team presented at the national level at the ACTFL Conference and at the state level at the GA ETC Conference on the Key to a Successful Blended Learning Program in World Languages.
