KEYNOTE
Target Language - Is It Really That Important? What do the last several decades of research and practice in the field of second language acquisition mean for our daily instruction in the classroom? What are the compelling, overarching keys to ensuring our students are successful learners? How do we best facilitate acquisition? Dr. Goebel distills the decades of pedagogy and shares the latest about what we need to know to be efficient so our students can be proficient. WORKSHOP #1 Teaching in the Target Language - How Do I Do It? Attendees will be students in Dr. Goebel's immersion class in Danish, and so experience what it is like from the learner's perspective. They will then participate in various input activities for pairs and groups, dissect how to adapt these to their own classes, and will leave with specific sample input activities that can be put to use immediately in the classroom. |
Dr. Joseph Goebel Jr. is the Chair of the Department of World Languages and Cultures at The College of New Jersey where he teaches Spanish and trains K-12 student teachers in second language acquisition theories and best practices. He has been recognized with teaching awards from The College of New Jersey and Temple University. Dr. Goebel has published articles on language teaching in Japanese Language and Literature, The Foreign Language Annals and The Journal of Graduate Teaching Assistant Development. In the last twenty years, he has explored SLA theories and their implications for the classroom in over one hundred and ninety workshops for school districts, universities and professional groups. Together with Dr. Luis Gabriel-Stheeman, Dr. Goebel has served as co-coordinator of the Basic Spanish program in TCNJ since 1997. They are currently working to develop a first level Spanish program based upon modern SLA theories, the National Standards and new technologies.

WORKSHOP #2
Let's Movie Talk 2.0 Created by Ashley Hastings, MovieTalk is the comprehensible narration of a short, engaging video clip. World language teachers can use any video to create a constant stream of comprehensible input for language learners. In this presentation, participants will experience what MovieTalk is through a demonstration and pre-viewing, during viewing and after viewing activities centered around the theme of the video. Participants will also have time to locate their own video and plan how to use this technique in their classrooms immediately! |
