TNTESOL Annual Conference & Business Meeting

I wanted to help my EAL students be successful in literature class. I decided to offer them the opportunity to read works of literature in their native language alongside their peers who are reading in English. I set this up as an action research project. During this presentation, I will discuss what I learned by doing this study.

Interested in spicing-up your literacy and composition instruction through unique use of innovative technology? Virtual reality will transform your students' learning experiences through exploration, collaboration, and creation. Join us as we delve into the world of virtual reality and explore how to integrate it into your language instruction. Worksop participants should bring a charged laptop in order to engage with the session.

Participants will learn how to break down a writing prompt into a week-long writer's workshop session. Participants will learn how to utilize Thinking Maps, Share and Pair speaking exercises, and writing rubrics to create and support 5 daily writing tasks that help students successfully produce a final writing product by the end of the week.
