Language Resource Center Hosts “New Trends in the Dynamic Language Classroom”

On Saturday, March 2, 2019, the Language Resource Center held a professional development event open to the community called “New Trends in the Dynamic Language Classroom.”

Pedagogy Day

The day included a "Lesson Swap," an opportunity for the educators in attendance to share ideas and receive feedback on their own.

Thirty-three attendees from 15 different area universities and high schools spent the day collaborating, networking, and gaining more insight into pedagogical practices in the language classroom. Presentations were given by SLU faculty members Sheri Anderson-Gutiérrez, Simone Bregni, Sydney Norton, Amy Wright, Jerry Edris, and Dan Nickolai. The presentations explored a wide range of topics, including titles such as "Corrective Feedback in the Language Classroom," "Creating a Foreign-Language Newspaper through Collaboration and Community-Based Learning," and "Hybrid Course Design: Flipping the Classroom in Content Courses."
