Immersion Teaching Strategies for All Language Teachers

This class is designed for teachers who would like to experiment with implementing immersion strategies in their own teaching situations whether they are fluent or not. First we will look at the underlying principles of immersion language instruction, what it takes to build a program and discuss what might work best in our differing communities for our differing language revitalization efforts. Then we will move into applying immersion strategies in our own teaching.  Participants will be asked to practice using these strategies on one another. With the goal of getting valuable feedback from peers, we will work in small groups to practice and refine our new teaching skills. The goals of this two-week session are for teachers to take home fresh new skills and tools to improve their teaching and to share with their language community that are involved in building an immersion program.
