SUMMARY:Center for Language Acquisition Language Teaching Forum
DESCRIPTION:\nFrancis Troyan\, The Ohio State University\n\n&ldquo\;How
to Support Written and Spoken Language in the World Language Classroom&r
dquo\;\n\nAssessment frameworks such as the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines
\, the World-Readiness Standards for Language Learning\, and the Can-Do
Statements have helped teachers use the target language for instruction
and assessment in a variety of ways. However\, even though these framewo
rks provide a useful starting point for approaching language learning in
the classroom\, they do not describe the linguistic and organizational
features of communication. This workshop addresses this need by introduc
ing participants to a new approach to language teaching that views spoke
n and written texts&mdash\;all instances of communication&mdash\;as genr
es that can be made visible and systematically taught to students. Parti
cipants will learn how to integrate genre into a backward design approac
h for the assessment and instruction of world languages that are centere
d on helping learners develop their written and spoken communication ski
lls.\n\n \;\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.psu.edu/event/cla
