Program: Eastern Suffolk BOCES Professional Development Program

Audience: Teachers of Foreign Languages

Dates: 2/1/2021

Learn at your own pace! What is the role of culture in your language classroom? Is it enough to teach facts and anecdotes that relate to food, holidays, social structure and traditions?

We will explore the framework of ten cultural value dimensions and learn how to use them to prepare students to be global citizens with a strong Cultural Intelligence (CQ).

To meet this goal, we will look at target language needed to discuss culture along with the language needed to engage authentically and respectfully. Agenda: -ACTFL Intercultural Can-Do Statements -Intercultural Communication -Approaching cultural Topics at various proficiency levels -Target language needed to discuss and explore culture -Target language needed to engage in culture -Authentic cultural resources and raising student's CQ (cultural intelligence) by looking at culture through the framework of cultural value dimensions. -CQ: The capability to function effectively across a variety of cultural contexts Cultural Value Dimensions Language and Culture: The Path to Global Citizenship consists of 2 45-min videos and 10 accompanying downloadable materials and templates. A Google form will be provided for participants to enter their questions for follow up Q&A videos (1 per content video) in which the presenter will address participants' specific questions.

The Website link & password with access to all videos and materials will be provided within 24 hours of the start date.
