Standards-Based Instruction in Russian Language:  From Theory to Practice

July 14 – 25, 2014 (GLASTONBURY, CT)
 
The Glastonbury program is offered for teachers of Russian and Chinese. Teachers of Chinese and Russian will meet in the morning together as one group and separate by language in the afternoon.
 
This course is designed to provide the theory associated with effective classroom instruction to develop students' communicative competency in Russian and Chinese.  There will be an emphasis on the role of the teacher as an instructional planner in a student-centered classroom that effectively matches curriculum, instruction, and assessment to identified learner outcomes.  Course participants will learn the current theories and research to support an integrated skills approach to foreign language instruction.  
 
Participants will apply this knowledge to their Russian language instruction by creating and adapting materials that focus on language acquisition through content and real-life communication, and will use these materials in real-life teaching situations.  In addition, participants will develop an e-portfolio that provides evidence of their ability to deliver a standards-based program.
