Special Guest Speakers at ETAI Spring!
Individualizing Student Learning through Web-based Resources
Leslie Opp-Beckman
Students come to our classrooms with a range of interests, abilities,
and needs. Addressing all of these issues can be a challenge for even
the most experienced educators. In this hands-on workshop we will
identify some examples of resources that are freely available through
the web that can help us individualize learning for our students. We
will also look at some examples of how other educators are managing the
individualization process in their language classrooms.
Making the Most of Cross-Cultural Learning Opportunities Online
Leslie Opp-Beckman
The past ten years have brought us the creation of the Internet along
with an ever-expanding array of educational resources that foster wider
communication and rich experiences in cross-cultural exchanges among
people worldwide. Now, more than ever, we can connect with and share
experiences and ideas with peers and colleagues around the globe. In
this hands-on workshop we will identify and evaluate for language
classroom use some tools and opportunities that are available for
connecting school-to-school, class-to-class, and person-to-person
online.
