[National Foreign Language Resource Center]

The National Foreign Language Resource Center (NFLRC) at the University of
Hawaii at Manoa is pleased to announce its 2017 Project-Based Language
Learning (PBLL) events...



*1) Online Symposium **The Power of Project-Based Language Learning (PBLL) *

January 11 - 12, 2017 - FREE

In the world language classroom, PBLL offers a framework for designing
powerful, culturally contextualized language learning experiences that
support learners in using their language to address “real world”
needs/purposes that are personally meaningful to them.

The Project-Based Language Learning (PBLL) Symposium will bring together
language educators, policymakers, researchers, and innovators for
conversations regarding the potential of PBLL to enhance and transform
language education. This unique, FREE online event will provide attendees
with a broad overview of PBLL, engaging interactions with world language
teachers who have implemented PBLL in their classrooms, and the chance to
network with professionals who are passionate about this topic. The
symposium format makes it easy to integrate into busy schedules. Four
interactive sessions are distributed across two days (i.e., two sessions
per day).

*3) Intensive Summer Institute *

*Pathways to Project-Based Language Learning (PBLL) *

August 2 - 9, 2017

Facilitators: *Cherice Montgomery & Cindy Kendall *

Join us in exploring the use of Project-Based Language Learning (PBLL) as a
framework for crafting compelling environments and experiences for language
learners. During the NFLRC 2017 Intensive Summer Institute held in Hawai‘i,
inservice K–16 world language educators will learn how to orchestrate rich,
experiential language learning opportunities that draw on a diverse array
of disciplines and career pathways. After participating in an abbreviated,
face-to-face, PBLL experience, each participant will design a
well-scaffolded project for use in their own language classes. Join a team
of experts with background in PBLL, language pedagogy, career and technical
education, and assessment in redefining what it means to teach,
transforming what it is possible for students to learn, and discovering how
to craft more compelling lives for ourselves in the process!

*Please note: This is **not **a beginner’s workshop. Applicants must first
earn a digital badge from the Fundamentals of PBLL Online Institute as a
prerequisite. Seats are limited and applications are competitive. Community
college instructors interested in creating interdisciplinary connections
will receive special consideration. *
