Ready to ditch the worksheets and bring real-world language into your classroom? This interactive 3-hour workshop equips world language teachers with practical strategies for using authentic resources to fuel proficiency-based instruction rooted in communication. Participants will engage with a step-by-step framework for integrating authentic texts—videos, articles, social media posts, etc.—while centering the three communicative modes: interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational. Emphasis will be placed on activities that are culturally responsive, standards-aligned (ACTFL World-Readiness Standards), and accessible for intermediate learners.
