Dear World Language

Colleagues:Passion, commitment, and desire! When I reflecton my first year in office, these are the words that

sum up my experience. Im not talking about myown passion, commitment, and desire, Im referringto you, Kentucky's world language teachers. It hasbeen an honor to serve you, the committedprofessionals, those working long hours in difficultconditions, sometimes with little emotional ormonetary support. Your passion is evident in yourquest to continually improve your skills and

increase your knowledge by attending thisconference, sometimes with your own funds. Overthe past year I've heard some of you speak of your quest to inspire your students to seebeyond our borders and better understand the world through the teaching and learning ofyour classroom. For your passion, commitment and desire, I thank you. Your efforts havegiven me more than any title could.

This conference is the main event of what KWLA can do for you, the K-16 faculty in thecommonwealth. So much has gone into preparing for and carrying out its many facets,often behind the scenes. I send my sincerest appreciation to the KWLA Board and toothers who have volunteered their time to this unique professional learning opportunity.There is no conference without you! It is seeing all of you go above and beyond the callof duty that drives me to work harder.

Beyond the conference we see the possibility of a new era. Currently Western KentuckyUniversity (WKU) is considering a proposed demonstrated proficiency as a requirementfor admission. At the same time, the University of Kentucky (UK) this year began the


5/77

5piloting of a Proficiency Requirement for admission. This one policy change forces all ofus to consider how we are preparing our students. Is it a matter of seat time, or a matterof what they can do with the language and how that measures against the ACTFLproficiency scale? This will be an integral part of the education process for not onlycollege readiness, but also for those entering the military, and those going into the ever-competitive job market.

Just last month the Kentucky Board of Education approved a regulation to phase in theWorld Language Program Review beginning next year. We have always been legitimate,but this one act will put us on the same playing field as our colleagues in other contentareas. We, like our peers, must be held accountable to standards in order to be seen asa "real" subject area to our education community as well as parents. This reality is theresult of a small group of people who sacrificed time and energy to convince the KBE,leaders in the KDE, administrators, and even teachers that this is the right thing for ourstudents as we encounter this precarious global economy.

Another change you will hear about during the conference is to the World LanguageShowcase and Gala Event for students, formerly "the Festival". I would like to thank thefestival committee and the focus group for volunteering their time and energy to recreatethis event. The World Language Showcase and Gala makes Kentucky, yet again, uniqueamong other states as we promote an environment that is about students growing toward

proficiency. This will be a challenge to many of us, but this shift in paradigm helps usdefine our purpose, which is to produce students who are proficient at communicating ina second language.

Finally, this spring, it is KWLA's goal to offer workshops that are affordable and relevantto your instructional needs. We have received positive feedback from you on the WKUand MSU professional development opportunities and look forward to designing futureworkshops in 2012 that will continue to enhance your professional learning.

Lets face these new opportunities and challenges of 2012 as a cohesive unit, P-16educators, who recognize what is best for our students. Let's not cower in the face ofchange, but rise up to meet the challenge. Let's keep the economy from becoming anexcuse 'not to', but turn it into a reason 'to do'. May your passion, commitment and desireto always do better keep you going to serve the students of the commonwealth as theymake proficiency happen now and into their futures.

Sincerely,

Randy BarretteKWLA President

Session StrandsThe Kentucky World Language Association has partnered with the Teacher Effectivenessfor Language Learning (TELL) Projectin developing this years conference program.Conference attendees are encouraged to reflect on their current practice in each of theseareas and choose sessions and workshops that will allow them to grow into more effectiveteachers based on their professional learning during the conference.

Global realities of the 21st century present new challenges for every discipline, and foreignlanguage is no different. In a time when students need to graduate prepared to relate to,study with, and work with people of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds in order tosolve global problems and explore new possibilities, foreign language educators must stopand ask themselves how they can be more effective in helping students develop a 21stcentury skill set in languages and cultures.

Simultaneous to these new realities is the growing body of research that points to teachereffectiveness as the single most critical factor in student achievement. Research shows that

it is not the particular school that students attend, or the size of the school or even the sizeof their classes that impacts learning nearly as much as the effectiveness of the teacher.

And while a solid foundation in subject matter content is clearly important for any teacher,research suggests that it is not so much what the teacher knows but what the teacher doesin the classroom that maximizes student achievement. High levels of student achievementare critical to individuals, to society and to a nations standing among the other nations ofthe world, and it is the effectiveness of teachers that ensures high student achievement.

What, then, makes an effective foreign language teacher? Although a great deal is known

about effective foreign language teaching, the collaborators of the TELL Project discoveredthat there is no one place where the characteristics and behaviors exhibited by effectiveforeign language teachers are clearly defined. If the profession needs foreign languageteachers to do their part in effectively preparing students to live in a world of increasinginternational interactions, then it must be able to clearly say what it means to be effective. Inother words, what do effective foreign language teachers do to ensure that studentsachieve foreign language competence?

The following three core beliefs have guided the TELL Projects work:

1. The teacher characteristics and behaviors represent the model teacher.2. Teachers can become models if the model teacher is defined.3. The identified characteristics and behaviors are intended to guide individual

teacher growth toward the model, which may or may not be associated withteacher evaluation.

The foundational piece of the TELL Project is the Framework for Effective LanguageLearning, which establishes those characteristics and behaviors that model teachersexhibit. The Framework consists of 7 domains organized around the three competencystandards of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS).

Preparing for Student Learning Creating the Learning EnvironmentHow do I establish a safe and supportive

learning environment with my students?

PlanningHow do I maximize student learning through my instructionalplanning?

Advancing Student Learning Teaching the LessonWhich high-yield strategies help my students achieve the

daily performance objectives?

AssessmentHow do my students and I use assessments to show what theycan do with what they know?

Resources How do my students and I capitalize on a variety of resources tomaximize student learning?

Supporting Student Learning Collaboration - How does my collaboration with stakeholders support student

learning?

ProfessionalismHow does my continued growth as a professional supportstudent learning?

But what does it mean to be an effective worldlanguage teacher in the 21st century? This workshop will initiate a discussion aboutforeign language teacher effectiveness that intends to identify those behaviors and traitsthat good teachers evidence. Teachers will draw on their own experiences andperspectives to start the discussion about effective teaching and will expand theconversation by using information from the Teacher Effectiveness in Foreign Languages(TEFL) Project. After completing a self-assessment survey, teachers will identify possibleareas of professional growth for the year, map their conference participation based onthe survey results and begin the journey to become a more effective world languageteacher.

Problem?Ben Hawkins, East Carter High School

([email protected]) I can use the textbook as a resource only and not as the complete curriculum to

guide my students to proficiency in a second language. I can identify some elements of what is generally considered "best practice" in

the world language classroom and make plans to incorporate them into my ownteaching.

In every area of education today, textbook-driven instruction is being discouraged andregarded as ineffective at getting students to proficiency in every subject area. So doesthat mean we should completely throw out the textbook altogether? It's not the textbookthat's the problem! The question is how you use it! In this session we will discuss howwe can use the textbook as a resource only, and not as the sole source of the curriculum,in order to help us achieve our goals of getting our students to demonstrate proficiency ina second language.

Keynote

Speaker: BillVanPatten09:00 AM (Kentucky Ballroom Salon C/D)

"No Bells, No Whistles: Five Fundamentals

for Communicative Language Teaching"In this day and age when teachers are overloaded with a barrage of concepts andideas from research and theory and state mandates, it may do well to step back andremind ourselves of the fundamentals of language teaching.In this talk, Bill vanPatten will review five such fundamentals:

Underlying (implicit) knowledge of language is distinct from skill. There is no language acquisition without input. Focus on form (grammar) must be tied to meaning (and input.) All learner production should be meaning-based and communicative There are severe constraints on explicit teaching and learning.

With these fundamentals in mind, teachers can sit back and evaluate their own practices,materials, curricula, and testing. They can use them to inform students, parents, andadministrators. Everything beyond these fundamentals in icing on the cake.

Bill VanPattenBill VanPatten is Professor of Spanish and SecondLanguage Studies at Michigan State University wherehe also directs the Romance language programs. Prof.VanPatten is an award winning teacher-scholar, whose


56/77

56work on both input processing and processing instruction have received attention aroundthe world. He is the author of six books, seven edited volumes and close to 100 bookchapters and journal articles. Prof. VanPatten is perhaps best known among languageteachers for Making Communicative Language Teaching Happen (co-authored withJames F. Lee) and for From Input to Output: A Teacher's Guide to Second Language

Acquisition, as well as for his top-selling college-level textbooks (Sabas que...?,Destinos, Sol y viento, As lo veo). He currently has a major French textbook and filmseries in production with Wynne Wong.

68Huajing Maske, University of Kentucky

([email protected])Teaching in American public schools can be challenging because the American studentsare used to various active class routines. In order to sustain students focus and theirinterest in Chinese language, teachers must move away from traditional methods oflanguage instruction and be creative. In this presentation, I will introduce a series ofpractical and useful methods that will engage students. These methods include classroomactivities, Chinese language games that are adopted from American games that Americanstudents are familiar with and how to get supports from parents and the teachers in yourChinese language teaching.

ProgramHuajing Maske, University of Kentucky

([email protected])This session shares ideas and methodologies about how to go about establishing suchprograms. We will examine actual examples illustrating how to get the teachers, parentsand community involved and invested in a Chinese program, and how to eventually sustainan established Chinese program in the face of potential financial and economic challenges.This presentation will use a case study to examine effective teaching and learning ofChinese language and culture. Also worthy of debate are issues such as whether Chinese

culture should be introduced to a school first, with Chinese language added later, orwhether it would be most effective to start with total language with targeted languageteaching which requires teachers to use 95% of the targeted language in the classroomfrom day one.
