C-7: Languages Across the Curriculum Workshop (1 day)
The twenty-first century brings both a growing awareness that our students will be living in a “global village” and a challenge to prepare them to prosper in that competitive environment. Connecting language study with other subject areas helps prepare learners to interact effectively across the world’s many linguistic and cultural boundaries. This workshop introduces Languages Across the Curriculum (LAC), a curricular initiative that links languages and other subjects and proposes strategies for effectively integrating language learning with other disciplines at all levels of education. Topics will include: principles of LAC, making connections with other disciplines, course design, and instructional materials and activities.
