Way to go, MAFLA! #mafla23

Hey, #Langchat I'm looking for resources for my daughter-in-law. It's for a Shabbat Around the World series for the kids in her synagogue; she's now looking for info on Jews/Jewish life in contemporary Spain, in English or Spanish. If you have a lead, please let me know!

@RonieWebster @MaFLAonline I'll see you there, bright and early on Thursday!

I am getting excited for the #mafla23 Fall Conference next week. Can't wait to be back with my amazing #mafla colleagues! Who will be there? @MaFLAonline

Are you attending #MaFLA23? I'll be there, and I'll have the treat of helping teachers fill their toolkits in this highly practical workshop. Let your networks know - MaFLA is where we learn and grow together as professionals! @MaFLAonline #langchat

I am SO excited for the potential that the MassReconnect program has for our students at Greenfield Community College, and throughout the state of MA!

Fellow language teachers! I have 1 of my fav courses, SPA for Health Professionals, at GCC 5/23-8/31. Can you share? Fully online so folks can take it anywhere w internet access. No prereq: no prior experience in Spanish nec, but those w past language study also welcome.#langchat

YES!! It's critical to help students "own" their current proficiency, always bearing in mind the distinction btwn performance and proficiency: we need to couch it in terms of "performance toward proficiency." @MaestraAubreyCT #NECTFL23

A plea from a student on an NFLC panel about language learning: "Make it real." Let's keep this in mind every time we discuss student engagement! @MaestraAubreyCT #NECTFL23

Comparing real student samples on a single prompt, and their level/range of performance - priceless analysis to get us thinking. @MaestraAubreyCT #NECTFL23

Ready to dig in with @MaestraAubreyCT for "Meeting Them Where They’re at Through Thematic Planning" This will be rich! #NECTFL23

@RobuPrice Same, @RobuPrice!

It was great to see you today, even if only for a few minutes!

@manuelawag and @LeaGK offer us compelling how-to's on teaching for ICit with novices, tied to the UN SDGs. #NECTFL23

Love the idea of Lego-like "building blocks" in curriculum (re)design. Working on thinking big and thinking like a scientist with @RobuPrice and @JamesWildman #NECTFL23

Great, detailed info on the Global Seal of Biliteracy with @miprofeAP - Linda Egnatz breaks down the research on student motivation to persist in attaining that goal. #NECTFL23

I get to lead this Institute with @PEARLL this Jan! I'll share our dept's work here @GfldCommCollege aligning to principles of proficiency & why/how to make the shift. Join us, spread the word - hope colleagues give selves a gift & start the New Year off w new learning. #langchat

An amazing, outstanding, moving, inspiring, and passionate testimonio by the inimitable @AbelardoAlmazan ¡Se lo agradezco un montón! #actfl2022 #ACTFL22
