In 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\u2019 previous language experience and proficiency levels. We will also discuss multiculturalism, and how teachers can learn about, validate, and appropriately inquire about students\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

Instructors 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
