SUMMARY:2024 Center for Language Acquisition Language Teaching Forum: Natalie Am
	gott
DESCRIPTION:\nSpeaker:\n\nNatalie Amgott\, Ph.D. [she/her]\n\nAssociate 
	Director of Online Language Learning\, Department of Modern Languages\, 
	Carnegie Mellon University\n\nTitle: “Building a Multimodal Language Cur
	riculum to Enhance Student Agency and Motivation”\n\nAbstract:\n\nIn thi
	s interactive workshop\, participants will explore how to design engagin
	g language learning curriculum through digital multimodal projects as su
	mmative assessments. We will discuss the benefits of moving beyond tradi
	tional written assessments to promote more thorough language learning wi
	th tasks like vlogs\, blogs\, and digital poetry.\n\nThe workshop will e
	quip participants with a backwards design approach\, starting with the d
	esired learning outcomes and media to then craft multimodal project rubr
	ics. We will explore practical strategies for fostering student agency a
	nd motivation\, as well as critical digital literacy\, through these pro
	jects. We will also discuss how AI tools can be leveraged in both the cr
	eation of the rubrics for these projects and to scaffold the multimodal 
	design process.\n\nParticipants will learn how to convert in-person acti
	vities to engaging online or flipped classroom formats\, and vice versa.
	 By the end of the workshop\, participants will be able to build a proje
	ct-based\, multimodal unit for a language course that fosters student ag
	ency\, motivation\, and growth mindset.\n\nBio:\n\nNatalie Amgott is ass
	ociate director of online language learning at Carnegie Mellon Universit
	y\, where she also teaches French and applied linguistics courses. Her r
	esearch focuses on language learning through designing multimodal projec
	ts\, including blogs\, video blogs (vlogs)\, and multimedia poetry. Nata
	lie’s teaching philosophy adheres to multiliteracies\, or incorporating 
	multiple channels of communication to explore\, discuss\, and design mul
	timedia projects. She is recipient of the ACTFL Early Career Research Aw
	ard and has published in Foreign Language Annals\, System\, TESOL Quarte
	rly\, and L2 Journal. She has also published an online Spanish course fo
	r beginners and an intermediate online French course.\n\nFor more detail
