Support Your Core: The Muscle Behind New Initiatives in World Languages

Common Core State Standards (CCSS), GlobalCompetence Skills, Disciplinary Literacy, 21st CenturySkills, Teacher Effectiveness ... Oh my! While many of usfeel like we are running to catch up on all the latestinitiatives in our field today, world languages connectnaturally to these latest initiatives. Come to learn andcollaborate on how you already implement the mainelements of these initiatives in your standards-based worldlanguage curriculums and show support for studentlearning through the CCSS and other important proposals.

World Language teachers, as well as teachers in all othercontent areas, are asked to define how they contribute tostrengthening literacy skills. The Wisconsin Department ofPublic Instruction is asking each content area to define“disciplinary literacy,” i.e., what content knowledge andliteracy skills are learned and taught. For worldlanguages, the questions are:

1. What does it mean to be “literate” in a world languageother than English?

2. What is the content we are teaching in a worldlanguage class?

This workshop will provide:

C Clarity in the meaning of our standards, the five C’s, asorganizers for our curriculum and as the backbone fordaily learning and instruction.

C Opportunities to work with experts at the state andnational levels to expand your strategies to developstudents' essential 21st century skills: communication,collaboration, critical thinking, literacy, and globalcompetence.

C Ample time to work with a network of colleagues asyou get ready to participate in your school districtconversations.

C The knowledge of how world language supports andconnects to major national and state initiatives thatincreasingly drive decisions in our local districts.

We encourage you to sign up as a team from your districtor with others from your individual Professional LearningCommunities.

1. What can WAFLT and its membership do?2. What are the priorities for these actions?3. Who will do the work?

These five topics and three questions will be discussedduring the Workshop on Friday morning. While there is nocost for this Workshop, separate registration is required.*

WAFLT Welcomes Yo AzamaACTFL 2012

Teacher of the Year

Language Connects Us

At the 2011 ACTFL conference held in Denver, Yo Azamareceived the prestigious honor, ACTFL 2012 Teacher ofthe Year. At the opening session of that conference, hetold teachers gathered at the Colorado Convention Centerthat, “The world needs a deeper understanding of eachother. We must begin that task now, no matter how long ittakes. One student, one colleague, one friend at a time,we are changing the world.” He puts forth a question thatwe must all ask ourselves: “Taking today and tomorrowinto consideration, what are our roles as global citizensand language educators in the 21st century?” Yo willaddress this important question through personal storiesand recent research discoveries during his keynoteaddress.

Yo’s experience as a language teacher convinces himthat today’s students are ready and more than willing tolearn other languages and cultures to prepare themselvesto join a world that has no borders. Our world offersunlimited opportunities if they have the linguistic andcultural competency to make it happen. Yo proclaimsthat, “Language connects us and as a result it binds usinto the global family that we are.”

He goes on to say, “Nothing makes me more proud thanwitnessing my students feel the pride of having developeda high level of Japanese and cultural competency thatenables them to successfully accomplish a linguistic task,and engage in a meaningful conversation with nativespeakers in culturally appropriate ways. But most of all,when students share how this learning experience openedtheir horizons and engendered confidence in them thatthey are indeed prepared to meet the opportunities andchallenges inherent in the global society of the 21stcentury.”

Yo continues to explainthat this means that thelanguage learningexperience needs to bemuch more rooted inculture and certainlymore than teachingstudents to “speak/readthe words”— but muchmore about teachingthem to be able to“read the world.” Getting students, aswell as ourselves, tounderstand a cultureand its manifestationshas the potential to transform minds and createindividuals who are sensitive to diverse points of view. Hestates, “It is important that students become skilledobservers, analysts of other cultures.”

A graduate of California State University in Monterey Bay,CA, Yo holds a single subject credential from thatuniversity’s program. He also has a multiple subjectteaching credential from the New College of Californiaand a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Showa AcademiaMusicae in Kanagawa, Japan. From 1996 to 1999, hetaught Japanese at Clarendon Elementary School in SanFrancisco, and from 1999 to 2000, he taught Japanese,English Literature, and a cultural exploratory class atGaviian View Middle School in Salinas, CA. Since 2000,he has taught Japanese at all levels at North Salinas HighSchool. He is widely published in the field of languageeducation and culture. He was named Teacher of theYear by the Southwest Conference on LanguageTeaching and has received many awards since beginninghis teaching career 15 years ago.

Gilles BousquetInterim Chancellor

University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire

Gilles Bousquet chairs the State Superintendent’sStatewide International Education Council and is deeplycommitted to developing global talent in Wisconsin’sschools from kindergarten through college.Professor Bousquet will discuss statewide strategies tocreate an environment supportive of strong worldlanguage programs and educating globally competentstudents. “We all know that we have to creategood-paying jobs in the state of Wisconsin,” saysBousquet. “Those kinds of jobs require learning otherlanguages and understanding other cultures. We will failour students if we don’t provide them with those skills, andwe will hurt our local and national economy if we do noteducate globally competent students. Teachers mustengage in this conversation at the local level. Effectivelanguage teachers build the infrastructure in their ownschool districts, they advocate for what they know andbelieve in, and they build bridges with other educators,parents, and the business community.”
