Workshop: GOING FOR 90% + , part two: Learn specific strategies and get new ideas for tasks and assessments for the world language classroom
In today's workshop, Doug will share advice on cultivating a classroom environment where both instructor and students meet ACTFL's standard of 90 percent target language use. Within that critical topic, we'll look for activities and task while setting goals for students to track their proficiency-related growth.
Attendees at our Congreso Primaveral learned so much from Doug's workshop on Going for 90%: How to Keep Yourself and your Students in the Target Language that they requested more - so here is Part Two! Please note that you do not need to have been present at the first workshop in order to reap the benefits of this one.)
