Connect Chinese language learning and assessment with the PK-16 focus on literacy and 21st century skills. American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) is facilitating an initiative to guide teachers in a process of collaborative inquiry in which they explore an area of literacy to embed in language instruction to improve learners’ performance. Learn and apply strategies for developing engaging tasks in order to practice and assess this literacy-focused application of language skills. Participants practice using Conversation Builder, a free online tool that guides teachers through the design of several rounds of prompts for learners who wish to explore a single focus or topic as they practice conversation strategies and receive feedback from their teacher. In this workshop, educators design interpretive tasks in which learners demonstrate what they understand from what is heard, read, or viewed – without relying on production of Chinese to assess this receptive skill. Expand the practice of the Presentational Mode beyond formal writing or memorized presentations to focus on tasks that learners would do in their daily life. Speaker: Paul Sandrock, Director of Education at the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), directs this national organization’s professional development and initiatives around standards, curriculum, instruction, and performance assessment. Previously, Paul was Assistant Director of Content and Learning at the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) , coordinating the areas of English language arts, mathematics, international education, and world languages. He earlier served as the DPI state-wide consultant for world languages. Paul taught Spanish for 16 years in middle school and high school and authored The Keys to Assessing Language Performance and Planning Curriculum for Learning World Languages. Paul previously served ACTFL as a board member and president and received ACTFL’s Florence Steiner Award for Leadership in Foreign Language Education, K-12.

Currently there is an increased demand for Chinese language teachers across the U.S. The majority of today’s Chinese teachers are faced with the daunting realization that teaching in U.S. schools is tremendously different from their own schooling experiences; numerous factors contribute to this contrast. This study specifically focused on classroom management and discipline and examines how teachers address the challenges of working across the languages and cultures of U.S. schooling. Through a carefully designed sequence of blended learning activities, this study provided participants multiple opportunities to explore and examine introspectively critical considerations that directly influence transitioning into a learner-centered classroom, utilizing various classroom management skills and strategies with millennial learners. Data collection instruments included two online surveys, a group interview, and online discussion board threads. Results indicate that there remains a great deal to be done in this area to assist Chinese teachers.

Mandarin immersion teachers have a big job, especially in the early grades. Building strong vocabulary and understanding of language while ensuring content knowledge mastery can seem daunting. How do you engage students in rigorous Mandarin literacy development? How do you maximize production in your classroom? Teachers from VIF International Education’s Splash Mandarin immersion programs in North Carolina will share the literacy model used for daily word study and guided reading and writing, as well as their strategies for maximizing simultaneous participation. Through practice of hands-on literacy activities used in these classrooms participants will take away literacy games and strategies to use immediately with their students. Participants will learn how to use a curriculum map and fun, daily literacy rotations for strong academic vocabulary and reading development.

This session presents research-guided best practices in Chinese literacy development, focusing on text-level reading literacy, and illustrates how to incorporate literacy instruction in a standards-based curriculum in grades K–16. The practices were developed in our 2013 and 2014 STARTALK Programs on text literacy, involving K–16 master teachers of Chinese and top researchers in CFL literacy development. Research shows that CFL readers are highly sensitive to the percentage of familiar characters in a text, and that even a small percentage of unfamiliar characters greatly impairs reading comprehension. In this session we illustrate strategies for the development of lower-level reading skills such as character retention and word-boundary recognition, and follow with strategies that focus on midlevel reading skills involving the identification of key words and text topic, and on higher-level reading skills involving the identification of facts, inferences, assumptions, and author perspectives inherent in a text. Speaker: 1. Baozhang He 2. Dr. Claudia Ross (Professor of Chinese at the College of the Holy Cross and Coordinator of the Chinese program) 3. Mary Wei Weerts (third-grade Chinese Immersion teacher at Barbara Rose Elementary School)

An interactive session that aims to present practical ideas for building a K–12 proficiency-based program that focuses on developing students’ authentic oral communication and foundational literacy skills. Differentiation and personalized learning are the keys to a successful program, hence this presentation will include strategies for both. Focus points: proficiency — how to identify students’ levels and set learning goals; differentiated instruction — how to meet individual student needs, including learning styles, IT, personal interests, etc.; metacognition — how to raise the level of awareness of students’ self-assessment and provide strategies to move to a higher level of proficiency; resources — how to ensure rich and authentic content and materials; K–12 program articulation — how to align a program across all grade levels without following a set of textbooks — yes, it really is possible!
