"Becoming an Expert: Learn how to Adopt & Adapt Interpersonal Speaking Activities for Your World Language Classroom"

Facilitated by Pathways Project Co-Directors, Kelly Arispe and Amber Hoye, with additional help from Cyndi Cook, Shannon Smith, and Sharon Westbrook.

Description:
On August 5, 2022, the Pathways Project facilitated a one-day virtual professional development workshop for world language teachers in the state of Idaho and across the globe.

In this recording, we invite you participate in this hands-on workshop, where you’ll get to practice locating, editing, and creating Open Educational Resources in the Pathways Project. These activities integrate authentic resources and support performance based teaching in interpretive and interpersonal communication.

This seven page guide contains a curated collection of digital humanities sites, authentic materials and openly licensed design resources. In addition to a number of examples, the guide also provides teachers with search tips for finding these sites on their own!

The Pathways Project is largely centered on interpersonal speaking activities. One of the ways that we'd like to grow in the future is by including interpretive (reading/listening) activities. This guide will walk you through how you might incorporate authentic materials into your classroom and scaffold them to meet the needs of your learners.

Welcome to our community curated collection of digital humanities, authentic material, and OER project sites. We welcome your collaboration! In order to understand where to place a site, please review the definitions below each category.

Digital Humanities Sites take collections of video, text, audio or other artifacts and transform them into something that is widely accessible online. While some sites are just virtual collections of content, the best sites showcase this information in new and interesting ways.

Authentic Materials or realia are real-life examples of language used in everyday life. Here are some examples:

- TV shows, news segments, documentaries, movie clips and trailers, online videos, and commercials
- Radio broadcasts, songs, and podcasts
- Photographs, artwork, signs, postcards, maps, and advertisements
- Magazines, letters and emails, news articles, brochures, websites, blogs, and social media posts
- Recipes, circular ads, food labels, bus and train schedules, menus, and price tags and product descriptions
"

Would you like to incorporate interactive sites, commercials, artwork, menus, social media posts, and more into your world language classroom? In this one hour webinar, we’ll highlight some of our favorite digital humanities and authentic resources sites full of engaging materials to spark student’s curiosity and immerse them in the target culture. We’ll also share some of our strategies for finding these sites, including a searchable, community-built repository!

This infographic will walk you through finding a Pathways Project Activity in OER Commons!

This handout details how to both find and evaluate activities on the Pathways OER Repository.

This tool is designed to help you locate openly licensed materials to add to your OER. We'll also review how to incorporate content that is not openly licensed (copyrighted) through the principles of fair use.

Are you a language instructor using Pathways Project Activities? We would love to hear from you. CLICK HERE to provide your feedback and share back activities you revised with the Pathways Community.

The Pathways Project, an initiative from the Department of World Languages at Boise State University, is a collaborative network of open educational resources (OER) including instructional language teaching materials and professional development created by and uniquely for Idaho’s K-16 language teachers and students.

Teachers and students participating in the Pathways Project come from different fields of study and schools across Idaho to create open (i.e., free), digital activities that support the teaching and learning of foreign languages and promote intercultural competence. We hope to impact the opportunities learners have to connect to the global world!

This session will provide an abbreviated version of the online course Technology-Enhanced Language Learning. Participants will be introduced to the main concepts of the class and will learn the three key ”golden rules” for transitioning to teaching languages in a post-COVID world. This practical and hopeful session will help assuage any anxieties about the start of school in fall 2020.

In this one hour webinar, we’ll discuss best practices and practical strategies for deciding when and how much of a copyrighted work you can include under fair use. After the workshop, educators will be able to enrich their course materials with photos, video clips, newspaper articles, and more. Better yet, they will know how to share them with a larger audience.

Pathways Project co-directors Kelly Arispe and Amber Hoye hosted a showcase of the Pathways Project on September 24th for the Boise State community and others interested in learning more about the work being done at Boise State.

Webinar Description:
The Pathways Project hosts a collection of over 450 classroom activities across 10 different languages, all collaboratively created by Idaho world language students and teachers. In this workshop, we’ll explore how we’ve used OER Commons to host these ancillary materials, our partnership with world language students and teachers, and share some lessons we’ve learned along the way! Participants will gain an understanding of the features of OER Commons, ideas for co-creating with students, and an understanding of resources available to K-16 language instructors.

This is a template teachers can use to help guide them on how to remix digital humanities and/or authentic materials with the Pathways Project activities. Digital Humanities sites take collections of video, text, audio or other artifacts and transform them into something that is widely accessible online. While some sites are just virtual collections of content, the best sites showcase this information in new and interesting ways. 

This is a template that teacher educators may use, revise, or remix to support OER teacher education. 

This activity is revised for a face-to-face K-12 classroom, although it is most appropriate for secondary (middle school and high school) levels. I added layers to the warm-up and cool-down and the entirety of the activity could easily last one full (50 minute) class period or be divided into two classes. The entire activity is contextualized as an authentic performance task where prospective students go on a virtual “university campus tour”. 

In this activity students will survey one another to determine how much their classmates like/dislike certain foods.

Students will engage in conversation about their preferences when given two choices. Students will take turns asking their partners questions.

In this activity students will be practice telling time in Chinese, as well as create schedules to describe their daily lives. Students will also practice listening comprehension by accurately responding to prompts given by the instructor.
