Calling ALL K-16 foreign language teachers!
Use the Web Tomorrow:  Creating Your
Own Task-based Activities for the WWW!

        In order to take advantage of the wealth of information available on the
WWW today, students must be asked to do more than passively "look at" web
sites.  This hands-on workshop will show participants how to create
pedagogically sound, task-based activities for foreign language learners of
various levels.  During the morning session, participants will view and
discuss task-based activities and accompanying in-class follow-up activities
designed from materials available at existing French and Spanish web sites.
During the afternoon session, participants will be given guidelines and
materials for creating their own activities, and will work in pairs to
develop at least one WWW activity and one follow-up exercise which can be
used immediately in class.
        This workshop will be held in a language resource center equipped
with Macintosh  computers and Netscape, but Windows users familiar with a
web browser and a basic word processing application will be able to
participate.  Knowledge of html or  WWW  authoring tools is  NOT required.
