SUMMARY:Educator Workshop: Teaching Heritage Language Learners\, Practical Strategies for Language Instructors
DESCRIPTION:Learn more about the Educator Workshop: Teaching Heritage Language Learners\, Practical Strategies for Language Instructors. \nSaturday\, March 7\n9:00 am – 12:30 pm CT\nUW-Milwaukee Welcome Center\, Room 107\n2100 E. Kenwood Blvd.\, Milwaukee WI 53211 \nRegister for the workshop here. Registration is capped at 30 educators. \nDeadlines:\nFebruary 6: UWM priority deadline (Free – faculty\, students\, staff)\nFebruary 20: All educators registration deadline ($10 for non-UWM) \nIn this interactive workshop\, teachers of Spanish who have Heritage Language Learners (HLLs) in their classes will explore practical\, research-informed strategies for navigating the language classroom and supporting their students across a variety of classroom contexts. Participants will learn how to get to know their students more deeply by identifying students’ previous language experience and proficiency levels. We will also discuss multiculturalism\, and how teachers can learn about\, validate\, and appropriately inquire about students’ traditions and experiences. Additionally\, we will reflect on how teacher biases and personal experiences can shape classroom expectations and interactions. Finally\, attendees will apply these ideas to hands-on examples and case studies from real classroom scenarios. \nInstructors of Spanish from all levels are welcome\, and we look forward to hearing about your thoughts and experiences and working collectively to improve the classroom for our students.
