Participants will use their increasingly independent language skills to explore the challenges of FSL teaching, including student diversity and engagement, Differentiated Instruction (DI), and Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
Participants will further develop language proficiency through exposure to high-frequency vocabulary specific to FSL teaching. They will gain a clear understanding of the proficiency expectations and evaluation criteria for the A2 level and of how these expectations can be integrated into the FSL classroom.
Participants will engage in practical and meaningful work designed to develop language proficiency specific to the FSL teaching profession. They will be invited to listen, speak, read, and write in A1-level French while forming professional connections in an inclusive and welcoming environment.
Teacher-learners will participate in various B2-level synchronous and asynchronous listening, speaking, reading, and writing tasks in a gradual release of responsibility model. They will develop effective pedagogical practices and communication skills using research-based strategies and authentic texts.
This session will introduce practical strategies for implementing differentiated instruction in language classrooms, focusing on tailoring lessons to meet varied learning styles, proficiency levels, and backgrounds.
This presentation will offer critical reflection points for teachers to explore their own understanding of culture and present ways to move toward more critical conceptualizations of it.
In this interactive session, we will discuss the difference between grammatical gender and social gender, provide examples of gender inclusive and neutral language, and provide strategies for addressing resistance or discomfort from students and colleagues.
CASLT’s Virtual PL Days will provide a platform for teachers to connect with colleagues, engage in interactive professional learning opportunities, and share best practices.
As language classrooms become more diverse, effective differentiated instruction has never been more critical for fostering student engagement and success. In this interactive session, participants will collaborate to design and refine differentiated strategies and activities for use in their language classrooms.

In this course, participants will explore strategies and considerations for effective resource selection and creation in FSL programs.
In this course, we will explore different approaches and strategies for teaching French. We will share examples of what works (and what doesn’t!) and discuss the research and experiences that inform our teaching practices.
