The World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages describe literacy through the three modes of communication (Interpersonal, Interpretive, and Presentational) and connect with 21st century literacies defined as:
• Cross-cultural Relationships
• Global Audiences
• Ethical Responsibilities
• Multimedia Texts
• Multiple Streams of Information
• Technology Tools
BENEFITS: Participants will increase their repertoire of instructional strategies for the three modes of communication through free access to:
• Webinars focused on the development and reinforcement of literacy
• Library of up-to-date resources focused on literacy
• “Helpdesk” to respond to questions related to the creation of model lessons and units
• Collaboration and resources created by Collaborative Teams across the United States
This project will create a meeting place for world language educators from across the United States. Be part of this initiative by creating one or more collaborative teams. Working together is working smarter.
