High School Visitors: Colleagues of the Future

Attention, High School Language Teachers:

Nominate one (or more) of your students to participate in the High School Visitors: Colleagues of the Future program at this years WAFLT Conference!
There is definitely a growing need for language teachers at all levels. The purpose of the WAFLT High School Visitors program is to provide a realistic, insightful, and entertaining view of the teaching of World Languages. We encourage you to promote this unique, interactive opportunity to your junior and senior language students. There are probably students in your classes who would make great teachers, but who have never considered that possibility. Perhaps they have already decided to pursue an education degree, but not as a teacher of languages. Those are the students we hope you will help us find! WAFLT will offer the option of choosing to attend this workshop from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Friday, November 2, OR from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 3.

Confirmation materials will arrive via email prior to the conference. Please note: C The teacher nominating the student must be registered and attend the conference while the student takes part in the workshop. However, teachers will not participate in the High School Visitors Program. C Students who have not paid the required $10.00 registration fee will not be permitted to attend the High School Visitors Program. C Students who arrive at the conference without pre-registering will not be admitted. C Registered students are also eligible to attend any of the one-hour sessions on Friday or Saturday, at no charge, provided they are accompanied by their nominating teacher.

Special Pre-Conference Workshop

Thursday, November 1
10:00 a.m. 4:00 p.m.

Additional Fee $45

Pre-Registration Required

Support Your Core: The Muscle Behind New Initiatives in World Languages
Common Core State Standards (CCSS), Global Competence Skills, Disciplinary Literacy, 21st Century Skills, Teacher Effectiveness ... Oh my! While many of us feel like we are running to catch up on all the latest initiatives in our field today, world languages connect naturally to these latest initiatives. Come to learn and collaborate on how you already implement the main elements of these initiatives in your standards-based world language curriculums and show support for student learning through the CCSS and other important proposals. World Language teachers, as well as teachers in all other content areas, are asked to define how they contribute to strengthening literacy skills. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is asking each content area to define disciplinary literacy, i.e., what content knowledge and literacy skills are learned and taught. For world languages, the questions are: 1. What does it mean to be literate in a world language other than English? 2. What is the content we are teaching in a world language class? This workshop will provide: C Clarity in the meaning of our standards, the five Cs, as organizers for our curriculum and as the backbone for daily learning and instruction. C Opportunities to work with experts at the state and national levels to expand your strategies to develop students' essential 21st century skills: communication, collaboration, critical thinking, literacy, and global competence. P 20 P $45 fee includes registration, lunch, and coffee breaks Register early; space is limited C Ample time to work with a network of colleagues as you get ready to participate in your school district conversations. C The knowledge of how world language supports and connects to major national and state initiatives that increasingly drive decisions in our local districts. We encourage you to sign up as a team from your district or with others from your individual Professional Learning Communities. Presenters:

Paul Sandrock
ACTFL Associate Director of Professional Development

Gerhard Fischer
Education Consultant, International and World Languages, WI DPI Members of the Joint WAFLT/DPI Disciplinary Literacy Team

**Please note: participants in the Thursday Workshop must register for all or part of the WAFLT conference on Friday and Saturday, November 2-3.

New Visions in Action: A WAFLT Task Force Workshop

Friday, November 2
9:00 a.m. 12:00 p.m.

In the summers of 1999 and 2000, ACTFL and the National Foreign Language Resource Center at Iowa State University collaborated on an initiative that sought to address the issues in foreign language education and to outline a plan of action that will be undertaken by the profession. Five critical concerns were identified to be discussed: 1. Architecture of the Profession 2. Curriculum, Instruction, Articulation, and Assessment 3. Research 4. Teacher Development 5. Teacher Recruitment Following the ACTFL model, the WAFLT Executive Board discussed these five topics over the past decade. Now, WAFLT would like to invite all of its members to be part of the discussion. A Workshop will be held during the 2012 WAFLT Fall Conference to create a WAFLT New Visions in Action Task Force. As part of this task force, members will be asked to devote their time and expertise to refine the work that has already begun on the national and state level and to answer the following questions: 1. What can WAFLT and its membership do? 2. What are the priorities for these actions? 3. Who will do the work?

These five topics and three questions will be discussed during the Workshop on Friday morning. While there is no cost for this Workshop, separate registration is required.* Participants will be sent a finalized agenda and discussion papers once the registration forms have been received. Important Application Procedures People wishing to take part in the New Visions in Action: A WAFLT Task Force Workshop should complete the application form found on the WAFLT website at waflt.org. Please email the downloaded and completed form by October 1, 2012 to: Kyle Gorden WAFLTs NVA Chairman gordky@elkhorn.k12.wi.us (262) 723-6316 * Participants must also register for the 2012 WAFLT Fall Conference.

WAFLT Welcomes Yo Azama

ACTFL 2012 Teacher of the Year

Language Connects Us
At the 2011 ACTFL conference held in Denver, Yo Azama received the prestigious honor, ACTFL 2012 Teacher of the Year. At the opening session of that conference, he told teachers gathered at the Colorado Convention Center that, The world needs a deeper understanding of each other. We must begin that task now, no matter how long it takes. One student, one colleague, one friend at a time, we are changing the world. He puts forth a question that we must all ask ourselves: Taking today and tomorrow into consideration, what are our roles as global citizens and language educators in the 21st century? Yo will address this important question through personal stories and recent research discoveries during his keynote address. Yos experience as a language teacher convinces him that todays students are ready and more than willing to learn other languages and cultures to prepare themselves to join a world that has no borders. Our world offers unlimited opportunities if they have the linguistic and cultural competency to make it happen. Yo proclaims that, Language connects us and as a result it binds us into the global family that we are. He goes on to say, Nothing makes me more proud than witnessing my students feel the pride of having developed a high level of Japanese and cultural competency that enables them to successfully accomplish a linguistic task, and engage in a meaningful conversation with native speakers in culturally appropriate ways. But most of all, when students share how this learning experience opened their horizons and engendered confidence in them that they are indeed prepared to meet the opportunities and challenges inherent in the global society of the 21st century. Yo continues to explain that this means that the language learning experience needs to be much more rooted in culture and certainly more than teaching students to speak/read the words but much more about teaching them to be able to read the world. Getting students, as well as ourselves, to understand a culture and its manifestations has the potential to transform minds and create individuals who are sensitive to diverse points of view. He states, It is important that students become skilled observers, analysts of other cultures. A graduate of California State University in Monterey Bay, CA, Yo holds a single subject credential from that universitys program. He also has a multiple subject teaching credential from the New College of California and a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Showa Academia Musicae in Kanagawa, Japan. From 1996 to 1999, he taught Japanese at Clarendon Elementary School in San Francisco, and from 1999 to 2000, he taught Japanese, English Literature, and a cultural exploratory class at Gaviian View Middle School in Salinas, CA. Since 2000, he has taught Japanese at all levels at North Salinas High School. He is widely published in the field of language education and culture. He was named Teacher of the Year by the Southwest Conference on Language Teaching and has received many awards since beginning his teaching career 15 years ago. P 32 P

Developing Global Talent: A Wisconsin Initiative

Gilles Bousquet
Interim Chancellor University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
Gilles Bousquet chairs the State Superintendents Statewide International Education Council and is deeply committed to developing global talent in Wisconsins schools from kindergarten through college. Professor Bousquet will discuss statewide strategies to create an environment supportive of strong world language programs and educating globally competent students. We all know that we have to create good-paying jobs in the state of Wisconsin, says Bousquet. Those kinds of jobs require learning other languages and understanding other cultures. We will fail our students if we dont provide them with those skills, and we will hurt our local and national economy if we do not educate globally competent students. Teachers must engage in this conversation at the local level. Effective language teachers build the infrastructure in their own school districts, they advocate for what they know and believe in, and they build bridges with other educators, parents, and the business community. Prior to his current appointment as interim chancellor at UW-Eau Claire, Gilles Bousquet served as dean of the Division of International Studies, vice-provost for globalization, director of the International Institute, special assistant to the chancellor for international engagement, and Pickard-Bascom Professor of French at UW-Madison. He has directed the Center for European Studies and served as chair of the Department of French and Italian. As dean, he coordinated the universitys internationalization strategy with particular attention to language and area studies, interdisciplinary and global research and educational alliances, and public-private partnerships.
