TUTORIALS (for Connor-Linton and Spielmann tutorials,
maximum of 20 participants; no participant limit for Krashen
workshop):
MONDAY, MARCH 6
"Criterion-referenced curriculum and test development for
language teachers and administrators"
Presenter: Dr. Jeff Connor-Linton, G.U. Dept of Linguistics,
(202) 687-6156
Criterion-referenced measurement will first be explained and
exemplified, especially in contrast to norm-referenced
measurement. Next, the process of criterion-referenced language
test development (CRLTD) and its benefits for language testing
(increasing positive backwash and content validity) will be
described. A hands-on workshop on criterion-referenced test
specification will follow, which models the process teachers and
administrators may use in their own classrooms and programs.
Finally, ways in which criterion-referenced test specification
process can be used to improve language curriculum coherence
and articulation will be discussed.
TUESDAY, MARCH 7
"Language acquisition and language education: A review of
research and theory and current issues"
Presenter: Dr. Steve Krashen, School of Education, University
of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0031
This workshop will cover, and attempt to integrate, material
presented at my GURT presentations since 1989. It will review
evidence for and against the input hypothesis, the Reading
Hypothesis, applications of the input hypothesis to beginning
and intermediate language and literacy development, the role of
light reading, and applications to bilingual education.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8
Authentic documents in the language class: Theoretical
perspectives and didactic applications
Presenter: Dr. Guy Spielmann, G.U. Department of French,
(202) 687-5717
This workshop proposes to examine in detail the theoretical
premises (based on elements from pragmatics, philosophy of
language, and semiotics) which justify an extensive use of
documents in elementary and intermediate language courses.
It will also provide very concrete and actual examples of how
this can be done to achieve optimal didactic impact.
There is an apparent consensus today on the usefulness and
value of authentic documents in teaching foreign languages.
Such accord, however, only emphasizes the lack of theoretical
grounding on the meaning and the role that documents
should play from the very beginning of instruction.
If we question why documents are so parsimoniously used in
beginners' classes, and then mostly for illustrative purposes, we
begin to expose some of the most glaring philosophical
problems of language education today. Our point of
departure will be to review the reasons (explicit or not) for
which documents are so sparsely exploited, and trace their
origin to both ideology a set of a priori beliefs about the nature
of language an d a sense of practicality a set of beliefs
about what can be done in class.
I will then briefly introduce some basic concepts of
Multidisciplinary Integrated Language Education (MILE), in
order to provide new directions in thinking about the value of
documents as primary evidence in the language complex
(including Code, Content, Context, and Culture).
Through a few very specific examples of activities, I will
indicate how the theoretical premises of MILE can translate into
an interdisciplinary, document-based language class even at the
full beginners' level. I will then conduct a brainstorming
session with participants in order to elicit further examples of
activities reflecting the same fundamental principles.
Finally, I will discuss some theoretical and practical
considerations on the collection and selection of documents, as
well as the limitations to their use.
