WELCOME TO FFLA 2015

Welcome to the 2015 Annual Conference of The Florida Foreign Language Association!

We are absolutely delighted you are here, as our focus of this year’s conference is to honor and celebrate our dedicated and talented language teachers . . . YOU!!! We hope that you will take full advantage of all of the wonderful opportunities that are built within our three-day conference!

It is with tremendous pride and enthusiasm that I welcome you to our 2015 FFLA Conference in beautiful and historic Saint Augustine! Our theme for this year’s conference is Power Up Your Brain With Language!, an appropriate title given that language learning develops and connects all parts of the brain. As the FFLA President of this prestigious event, I am deeply humbled by the challenges and learning that have brought this conference to fruition. During every given moment of this planning process, there were always FFLA colleagues available watching my back, supporting our endeavors, and providing tremendous insight and expertise. I have often stated to FFLA colleagues that our conferences mirror an incredible ‘Family Reunion” where all family members get along and cannot wait to spend time with each other! As a long-time member of the FFLA, this “family environment” has been the pivotal point in bringing me back ever since. If this is your fi rst time at an FFLA conference, you will soon fi nd how many new family members you will have gained by the conclusion of this wonderful family get-together!

As brain-based research reveals, a “relaxed and stress-free” mind lends toward optimal learning and engagement! Therefore, you are in an ideal environment to reach out to FFLA colleagues, make new friends and contacts, and take on new risks. We encourage you to reach out to our FFLA members to see what talents and leadership skills you might bring to us! With this said, I would like to welcome you to our FFLA table!

Furthermore, this event could not take place without the involvement and generosity of our wonderful Sponsors and Exhibitors! Please make it a point to meet with them and to thank them for their partnership with FFLA. We welcome all of you to Saint Augustine!

Sincerely,

Frank Kruger-Robbins,2015 FFLA President

The Irving Wershow Award

Each year the prestigious Irving Wershow Award for Excellence in Leadership in the profession is presented at the FFLA Conference in October to a member who has demonstrated leadership at the regional, state, and/or national level; served as a quality educator in his/her own right; and promoted the teaching and learning of foreign languages and/or bilingual/bicultural education, and/or English as a Second Language.

Dr. Irving Wershow was a distinguished professor of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Florida from 1938-77. He was a graduate of Yale University and taught all levels at UF. He was a potent advocate of language proficiency for communicative purposes, and strongly emphasized the role that culture plays in foreign language study. As such, he was way ahead of his time. He was an eloquent spokesman for our profession and was in constant demand as a consultant and advisor to national education associations. While at the University of Florida, he established and directed the first NDEA efforts. Dr. Irving Wershow also served as the Director of the Center for Latin American Studies, established and directed the Center for African Studies and was also the Director of the Graduate Programs in Linguistics at the University of Florida. Probably of most sig-nificance for school teachers in Florida, was his dedication to assisting foreign language teachers at the elementary and secondary schools in Florida. He was a university scholar who was also a classroom teacher advocate. He was actively engaged in supporting and promoting AATSP and FFLA. A considerable amount of the early efforts to establish the FFLA came from Dr. Wershow. He passed away in 1977.

The 2015 Irving Wershow RecipientAlysse Rasmussen

(16 June,1951 - 15 December, 2014)

Alysse Rasmussen was a valuable member of the FFLA Board of Directors representing the Florida American Sign Language Teachers Association - FASLTA from 2008 until the last board meeting in Miami in 2014. She was always an active and very wise contributor to discussions and had the well being of the organization at heart. Her profound knowledge of organizations and understand-ing of people, added great depth and richness to board interactions. Her resume is too long to include here, and FFLA is honored to have received her support and wisdom through the years.Alysse is greatly missed by the World Language Community in the State of Florida. This is the first time the Wershow award is bestowed posthumously, and it is with great respect that we honor a loved colleague.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Dr. Nikolai P. Vitti2015 FFLA Friend of Foreign Languages Award Winner

Thursday evening Guest Speaker

We know the intellectual growth and vocabulary develop-ment that learning multiple languages offers students, which provides additional academic and economic opportunities, but just as important are the doors that learning multiple languages open to understanding multiple cultures, histories and ultimately better understanding oneself in a global and diverse society. - Dr. Nikolai P. Vitti

Dr. Nikolai P. Vitti is the Superintendent of Duval County Public Schools (DCPS), the nation’s 16th larg-est school district, serving over 127,000 students. Dr. Vitti received the prestigious Presidential Scholar-ship from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and was a member of the Urban Superinten-dent Program, which has developed a number of successful superintendents throughout the country. In 2012, he completed his doctorate from Harvard in Education, Administration, Planning and Social Policy. He received his masters in the same field from Harvard. Dr. Vitti also holds a Masters in Educa-tion from Wake Forest University where he was awarded a Master Teacher Fellowship and a B.A. in History. As an undergraduate, he earned Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa recognition. Dr. Vitti is married with four children who all attend public schools.

Dr. Vitti’s accomplishments in Duval County, based on his recognition of the value of world languag-es, has earned him the 2015 FFLA Friend of Foreign Languages Award. Under Dr. Vitti’s leadership, Duval County has reestablished world language programs in all middle schools and expanded its number of Dual Language programs. When the State of Florida implemented three different gradu-ation diplomas with only one requiring world language study, Dr. Vitti convinced the Duval County School Board to make two consecutive years of language study a graduation requirement for all DCPS students.

We applaud Dr. Vitti’s commitment to and support of world language study and hope that his vision-ary leadership will inspire other districts.

Growth Mindset and Teacher Effectiveness: Take Charge of your Professional Growth

"No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow your progress, you're still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying" - Tony Robbins

Despite the often frustrating climate of the current educational setting, teachers must strive to develop a growth mindset and take back control of their professional learning. Using Carol Dweck's research on mindset, teachers will examine their core educational beliefs, identify their growth and fixed mindset traits, and self reflect on how these traits affect their personal and professional growth. This workshop is a great introduction to the afternoon session on the TELL project (Teacher Effectiveness for Language Learning) where teachers will use their growth mindset to Presented by: Michelle Olah, Seminole County Public Schools, Lake Mary, FL [email protected] Language(s): ENGLISH Level(s): ALL Workshop 3 Legends 1

Rethinking Authentic Documents in the Spanish Class

The use of authentic materials in the modern Spanish classroom has become a valuable tool in recent years. The benefits of the use of authentic documents can be maximized if instructors provide the necessary cultural context for effectively relating form to meaning in the foreign language learning process through film clips, commercials, literature, photographs, web sites, and products of the foreign culture.

Calliope Global EdTech Playground - Classroom Makeover in 5 Steps

Five Step Classroom Makeover: Create a Learning Space that Fosters Collaboration Aimed at K-12teachers; we outline the importance of using the learning space of the classroom to promote collaboration, innovation, and exploration. Five easy-to-implement ideas shift the focus from nouns (e.g. room, desks, books, etc.) to VERBS (e.g. engage, create, connect). Classrooms are transformed from traditional static rooms to spaces that are alive with action and technology integration. (World Language Project-Based Learning examples explored.)

Filling Our Instructional Gaps with Exceptional TeachingThis presentation is based on the meticulous observation of 2500+ FL lessons performed between 2010-2015. With this data and measured against the 17 domains of the Danielson rubric, we can pinpoint statistically the strengths/weaknesses of any teacher, teaching any FL, at any level. Statistically, we can generalize across all of Florida. What are YOUR strengths and weak-nesses, statistically speaking? As a professional-development tool this information is invaluable. Participants will be shown examples of exceptional practice.

Power Up Your Brain: Evolving from Editor to Applied LinguistDespite all the good intentions, much of what is standardly considered common methodological practice for language teach-ers is actually ‘anti-linguistic’; i.e., it works against language acquisition. Applied Linguistics respects the ‘nature’ of language. Acquaintance with this discipline of language acquisition aids World Language teachers in their evolution from simply the classroom ‘editor’ to the ‘Applied Linguist’; from teaching for Mastery to encouraging Proficiency.

Infusing Culture in Our World Language Classrooms: Haiti in FocusI will show the importance of infusing culture in our World Language Classrooms.

No inglés: Strategies for Using the Target Language in the ClassroomWe all know that the research says we should use more of the target language in our classrooms, but the reality is that it is difficult to implement. We often get pushback from parents, students and sometimes even administrators. In this workshop we will demonstrate proven activities and strategies to gain acceptance and to increase the use of the target language by teachers and students. Examples are in Spanish but adaptable to other languages as well.

A Cost Effective Way to Create Online HomeworkThe time spent on task for online homework is three to four times as great as the time spent on traditional homework.

Multimodality in my Chinese Literacy ClassroomChinese has increasingly become important in our 21st century. Learning Chinese isn’t an easy job for L2 learners. How Chi-nese language educators present learning material to students plays an important role in students’ Chinese literacy. The concept of multimodality immediately made great sense to me when I found myself wondering why a single instruction mode doesn’t work. I’ll center on personal teaching experiences using multimodality and elaborate on that.

The literature review combines relevant studies in the fields of bilingual meta-lexicography, pedagogical meta-lexicography and contrastive linguistics. The more lexicographers know about the learners, the more effective role dictionaries will play in the learning context.

Engaging Students as Discussion LeadersDevelop an engaging project that focuses on integrating skills for student-led circular discussions. Guide your students to develop effective discussion questions based on issues of high student interest and world importance. Students will integrate skills by researching authentic materials as stimuli, developing engaging questions, and leading the discussion on their as-signed day. While the major goal is the student exchange of ideas, the project also weaves in higher order thinking skills and presentational communication throughout.

The Effects of Processing Instruction on ArabicProcessing instruction (PI) is a pedagogical intervention based on a model of input processing, whose goal is to alter the learner’s incorrect processing strategies and facilitate form-meaning connections (VanPatten, 2004). Various target forms across many languages have been investigated; however, research to date has not addressed the Arabic past tense. The cur-rent session presents the findings of the effects of PI paired with traditional output oriented tasks. The implications for theory and methodology are discussed.

Linguistic Policy & Foreign Language Learning In India: Towards a Pedagogy of PlurilingualismWhile the Indian education system allows for the national language (Hindi) to coexist along with regional languages, the current policy is nebulous about the position of foreign languages. Regionalism and marginalization of foreign languages make it safe to infer that the pedagogy of plurilingualism is not sufficiently highlighted in India. This paper discusses the challenges that a diverse democracy faces in the construction of a plurilingual educational pedagogy.
