<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Roboto;color:black">Description of the book:<br>
The book will consist of a collection of case studies that will deepen students’ understanding of language and culture in higher education through High Impact Practices (HIPs). HIPs are educational experiences with major benefits for undergraduate students.
HIPs are identified through student surveys of the most impactful experiences in their college life and are thus student- rather than teacher-centered. HIPs provide students with opportunities for learning through student-centered tasks, practical experience,
and collaborative activities not often found in lecture-centered classes, often resulting in high levels of student dissatisfaction. HIPs now receive much attention from higher education professionals as many studies show that this approach favors deep learning,
learning gains, and retention. Since no book to date has focused on the relationship between HIPs and specific languages or cultures, the book will make a major contribution to second language acquisition and the teaching of language and culture. In addition
to chapters based on Japanese language and culture courses incorporating HIPs, the book will present case studies of languages such as Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Chinese, etc. Contributors will be high school teachers or instructors in higher education
using HIPs in their world language and culture classrooms. This book will show how HIPs can be implemented successfully as part of language and culture courses for future world language teachers. This book will exemplify acquired skills and activities developed
through HIPs and how world language classes can be modified to become part of a wider learning community where the students have a deeper experience of language learning through meaning-centered activities they enjoy.
