Session 1: Ursula Atkinson will speak about the Rassias Method of language instruction. She will also present a breakout session following her her keynote speech.
Session 2: "Cinema in the Spanish language classroom: How to develop a complete, hands-on thematic lesson based on a Spanish language film."
Virginia E. Cubillán of Passaic Valley High School and Montclair State University explains a whole thematic unit based not only cultural aspects of South America, but also social, economic, and historical topics using "Motorcycle Diaries".
