  • Students as Linguists and Diplomats: Eight Principles for Creative World Language Teaching

  • Feb 28, 2013 from 8:00pm to 9:00pm
  • Location: online
  • Description:

    Part of a free webinar series - Global Learning for Educators

    Language teaching is fundamentally about much more than learning how to introduce oneself, chat about the weather, or ask what time it is. At its core, effective language teaching provides students with the necessary tools to recognize and apply patterns in language and culture, and creates a learning environment in which students are asked constantly to make meaning for themselves.

As such, they are the basis for all the learning that happens in schools that offer a global education.
 Through this lively session, understand the fundamental principles for creating lang
