PARKING INFORMATION If you will be driving to SWCOLT 2023, please be aware of the following:
The daily parking fee is $5 for conference attendees. Park in the Marriott garage and come to the Registration area for SWCOLT. Uou will receive a voucher in the hotel. When you are ready to leave at the end of the day, pay for parking at the kiosk located next to the elevators in the hotel lobby--before going to your car. Do not go to your car first and attempt to use the voucher to pay upon exiting the garage.
With the limited classroom time, as teachers, we want to utilize the time wisely through meaningful learning activities. These activities will engage our students and level up their language proficiency performance. We want students to perform above their proficiency level and relate what they are learning to real-life experiences. In this presentation, presenters will introduce and share different frameworks and strategies to help teachers design classroom activities in different classroom settings. Secondary Chinese immersion student work examples will be used to illustrate how meaningful activities can bring up students’ language learning outcomes. Participants will engage in discussions and reflect on how to transfer these strategies into their own classrooms.
