Studies
Explore important topics in today's language-learning world in these expert-led spotlights that span all three days of the conference. Each presenter tackles a unique topic from multiple perspectives, going deeper with every session. While you're welcome to attend different Spotlights each day, we recommend committing to all three sessions of a single topic for the most enriching experience.
Spotlight topics include:
Literacy: Reading not only supports language acquisition, but it also provides a foundation for effective communication, critical thinking, and lifelong learning.
Culture: The study of target language culture enriches the learning experience and enhances students' understanding of the language in its real-world context.
Assessments: Targeted and intentional assessment will guide instructional decisions, measure learner progress, and provide the input you need to support your students' language acquisition.
Storyasking: Storyasking combines storytelling with interactive elements to make language learning more engaging, effective, and enjoyable.
ESL: Apply the CI/ADI skills you are learning in your Squads to the unique context of teaching ESL.
Choose a Spotlight and join our presenters as they illuminate these important topics!
