Cultivate Student Agency by Personalizing Your Lessons Using Instructional Technology (IALLT webinar)
webinar by Tavane MoorePersonalizing learning does not mean students do the exact same assignment one way. It means students have choice, actively engage in what they are learning, how they are demonstrating their progress, and curating the most productive means by which to demonstrate knowledge and skills application! Let’s discuss doable, simplified, and creative strategies to personalize learning that productively cultivates student agency. Attendees will interact with student-created personalized products and watch video clips of the Principles of Personalized Learning in action. Sites include Padlet, Adobe Express, Adobe Podcast, and Seesaw E-Portfolio. Attendees receive a list of various activities and strategies for multiple ...

Dyslexia, ADHD, Autism: Encouraging and Supporting All L2 Learners
webinar by Sara LeeUp to 20% of people in the U.S. have dyslexia, which means that about 4-6 students in every classroom struggle with reading and writing, spelling, and executive functions. How does this manifest in second language acquisition? This workshop will introduce dyslexia from a medical and educational perspective and explain how it presents in second language learning. We will conduct error analyses on writing samples to determine which errors are developmentally expected in language acquisition or could point toward auditory processing challenges or dyslexia. In the second part of the workshop, we will focus on classroom methodology to support learners with ...

Linguistic Production and Perception in Heritage Language
webinar by Gláucia SilvaHeritage language (HL) speakers tend to assess their linguistic competence in binary terms, such as “good” and “bad,” and to consider that they speak “slang” or a “broken” language (Byram et al., 2021). However, research on HL production does not confirm these perceptions: Rinke et al. (2024) show that structures that prove most challenging for HL bilinguals are also problematic for monolingual speakers. Furthermore, Torregrossa et al. (2023) indicate that age and formal instruction in the HL may lead to better performance in those challenging structures. Drawing on examples from Portuguese grammar, this talk discusses research on linguistic production in ...

Doing It (Gender) Justice: Reimagining Language Education Through Trans Knowledges
webinar by Kris Aric KniselyAs people who teach, learn, and research language, the time for us to work toward forms of gender justice that honor and revel in the knowledges and linguistic practices of trans people has long since been here and it grows ever-more overdue in the ongoing wake of globalized and localized forms of anti-trans, anti-education, and other oppressive actions (Knisely, 2023; Knisely & Russell, 2024). If we are to move toward gender justice in language education, we need not only increasingly inclusionary pedagogies, materials, research, and languaging, but also to think beyond the confines of inclusionary discourses alone. When we unscript ...

Python Series Special Topic: Scripting Generative AI with Python
workshop by Richard MedinaLarge Language Models (LLMs) provide an enormous resource of language material that can be accessed (or “prompted”) in a variety of ways. In this workshop Richard will demonstrate techniques for using Python scripts to interact with LLMs to retrieve many types of language content. Techniques to be covered include constructing and submitting prompts through a Python script and handling responses from the language model. Examples of using Python to generate example language material will be presented in detail. Familiarity with writing Python scripts would be useful but not necessary to benefit from the workshop. Some familiarity with using Large Language Models ...
