As the internet and other technologies combine to bring people from opposite sides of the globe closer together, language use will undoubtedly evolve as well. Check out our “Speaking of Languages…” infographic to learn more about the world’s many languages, as well as the answer to the age-old question, “How long will it take me to learn a new language?”

Education

For beginning language learners, building vocabulary breadth (how many words they know) has been shown to be the single most important factor in accelerating and maximizing proficiency gains. But as learners progress into advanced levels of proficiency, they encounter more and more diverse contexts, and the depth of their vocabulary knowledge is tested. It’s at these levels that, even as learners continue to expand the breadth of their vocabulary knowledge, they should develop active strategies for expanding the depth of their knowledge about the words they’ve already “learned”. In this webinar, we will explore the five things every language teacher should know about building lexical proficiency in advanced language learners.

Why Words Matter: 5 Things You Should Know About Teaching Vocabulary to Begin...

Transparent Language, Inc.

Which is more important for beginning language learners – grammar or vocabulary? How many words does a language learner need to know in order to attain a proficiency level of CEFR A1 (ACTFL Novice High)? And what about levels A2 (Intermediate Mid) or B1 (Advanced Low)? Obviously, the more words a learner knows, the better; a vocabulary size of 1,000 words is better than 100 words, and 2,000 words is better than 1,000 words. But which 2,000 words? Is there a preferred order of acquisition that will maximize proficiency gains – or will any 2,000 words do? In this webinar, we explore the five things every language teacher should know about building lexical proficiency in beginning and intermediate language learners. You may be surprised at what you discover! (Originally presented by Paul Tucker on May 10, 2018)

Transparent Language, Inc.

Language teachers understand that 21st century students must be able to communicate effectively with diverse people from many different cultures. In order to meet this challenge, teachers should emphasize communicative skills when instructing foreign languages. Students are required not only to understand, but also to produce language in oral and written forms. This webinar series will cover how to plan instructional activities that align with the three ACTFL modes of communication (Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational), as they relate to listening, speaking, reading, and writing. In this session, we'll discuss reading and writing activities.

Flip Your Language Classroom (FLEAT)

Transparent Language, Inc.

Studies have shown that when it comes to learning foreign languages, combining technology and human instruction is more powerful than either computer learning or human instruction alone. The flipped classroom is an exciting new methodology in education where students “front load” their language abilities by learning vocabulary and phrases independently before each class. Teachers then build on what their students have already learned, practicing and applying that knowledge in class through communicative activities and task-based strategies. The result is a more rewarding classroom experience, with more time spent actively engaging in the language, rather than passively listening. This presentation, given at the 2015 FLEAT Conference at Harvard University, will teach you how to flip your class and enjoy the wealth of benefits to both teacher and student alike.

Reach Students Beyond the School Day: Teach Language Asynchronously

Transparent Language, Inc.

We live in a digital world that allows our students to access information 24/7. Why not use that to your advantage by teaching your students asynchronously? Asynchronous learning is a student-centered teaching approach that employs a wide variety of web, mobile, and cloud-based tools outside of regular school hours, thus removing the constraints of time and place. The tools at your disposal are many: social media, mobile applications, collaborative communication, learning objects, blogs, and beyond. In this webinar, we will explore the benefits and risks in asynchronous teaching, as well as the positive impact it can have on students’ lives. The webinar will also include details on how to integrate these tools into any language-learning curricula.

Teaching Grammar Through Technology

Transparent Language, Inc.

Good grammar is a vital skill for advanced language proficiency: Knowing how words work and how they fit together is critical for putting foreign words to proper use. The need to learn grammar is always going to be part of language learning, and should not be neglected. Even when using an approach that emphasizes the acquisition of vocabulary, ways can and should be found to incorporate grammar into the learning process. The right strategies and technologies can overcome any objections about possible boredom or difficulty by making grammar learning appealing, efficient, and effective. This webinar explains the methodology of Lexical Functional Grammar and demonstrate how to integrate it into lesson planning.

Making Social Media Work for Your Library

Transparent Language, Inc.

Social Media has been hailed as the silver bullet of grassroots marketing. Circumvent aging advertisement models and talk directly to your community? The only cost is your time? Fabulous! It can be like that, but it takes some very specific strategy to achieve that kind of success. At Transparent Language, we've built our Social Media following to nearly 3 million fans on Facebook alone. Our blogs receive over 200,000 visitors each month, and our YouTube videos have been viewed more than 2 million times. And we built most of it, not with a large team or budget, but with a single dedicated staff member. Truly grassroots. The lessons we've learned along the way can benefit our library clients, too. In this slide deck, a follow-up to @LorienGreen's presentation at NELA 2014, we present our "secret sauce".

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education

Peter Windle

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction. This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
