6 Central States Connections: 2014 Conference Program The Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (CSCTFL) and the Foreign Language Association of Missouri (FLAM) are pleased to welcome you to St. Louis and its historic downtown area. Not since 1983 has CSCTFL been held on this side of the state and FLAM is happy to host the 2014 CSCTFL/FLAM Conference in our great city. CSCTFL couldn’t have picked a better year since we are celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of St. Louis. Right in the heart of downtown there is much to see and do if you’re looking for cultural attractions. The Arch and city court house, Laclede Landing, Anheuser-Busch Brewery, and the Cardinals Stadium and Hall of Fame are just some of the sites near the Hilton at the Ballpark Hotel. For the more adventuresome and mobile folks, historic St. Charles complete with shops, eateries, and Lewis and Clark Museum are just minutes from downtown St. Louis. If you are into antiques, then Historic Cherokee Antique Row might be more your thing located a short drive from downtown. Maybe you would rather try to find some of the 250 birthday cakes placed at locations of importance unveiled at the February 14th birthday celebration weekend. Although there is much to see in and around St. Louis, this year’s conference will provide some of the most innovative and interesting professional development for teachers at every level to improve their teaching experience. German and French roots run thick in this area. On Friday evening on site, our local AATF group will be putting on a marionette show to commemorate the 250th anniversary in St. Louis and there will be a Justo Lamas concert. Also on Friday evening, AATG will host a German concert off site. We are happy that you have chosen CSCTFL 2014 to be the cornerstone of your professional development and renew connections that are so very important in our profession. St. Louis will certainly be the key to “Unlock the Gateway to Communication.” Enjoy your stay!

8 Central States Connections: 2014 Conference Program 46th Annual Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages Unlock the Gateway to Communication Julie Jezuit, 2014 Program Chair

Welcome from the Program Chair Unlock the Gateway to Communication Welcome to the 46th annual CSCTFL Conference in St. Louis, Missouri! Here we find the famous Gateway Arch and the city known as the “gateway to the west.” While St. Louis is home of the Gateway Arch, world language teachers help their students “unlock a gateway to communication” on a daily basis. As language teachers, we enable our students to be able to communicate with people they previously could not communicate with due to a language barrier. Besides oral and written communication, we also “unlock” communication through a deeper understanding of a particular culture. Whether it be non-verbal communication such as gestures, an understanding of traditions, and holidays—the products and perspectives of a culture. The CSCTFL conference provides an opportunity for world language educators from a 17-state region to communicate with each other. The CSCTFL conference allows world language educators to come together and open up a line of communication and share ideas which help each other grow professionally. Thank you for joining us at the 2014 Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, as we share our experience and expertise with new colleagues and long-time friends. I encourage you to further connect to other disciplines and cultures through the exceptional offering of more than 185 sessions, 28 workshops, and a great selection of multi-language events for teachers. Be prepared to be renewed, rejuvenated, and motivated to make connections with students, and other teachers, departments, schools, and cultures. Special Events on Thursday, March 20, 2014 Ø The Conference Workshop/Extension Workshop (CW/EW) provides professional development outreach. Participants apply in advance and will be trained in the Conference Workshop (CW) on this year’s topic, “Keeping It in the Target Language,” presented by Aleidine J. Moeller of the University of Nebraska and Amy Roberts and Katie Hayes of Pius High School, Lincoln, Nebraska. Then the participants will prepare to present this topic at state and local workshops and conferences (EW) during the following year. Ø Workshops: Both half- and full-day workshops are offered covering various topics such as teaching in the target language, technology, common core state standards, assessment, and so much more. If you are not pre-registered, please visit the registration desk and inquire about space availability. Ø The Delegate Assembly provides leaders in the various state organizations the opportunity to network, discuss policies, procedures, and challenges and learn about the current status of world language education in our 17-state region and throughout the nation. State organizations are asked to send representatives to this afternoon event. We welcome those delegates to this 1:30 PM event on Thursday. Ø Welcome to CSCTFL Advisory Council members! Please join us in Ballpark Conference Center 1 and 2 for the Advisory Council Reception at 5:00 PM Thursday, followed by theAdvisory Council Meeting at 6 PM. Ø The Exhibit Hall Opening and Wine and Cheese Gala provides a first peek at the exhibits and the first chance to visit with vendors. This is also a fantastic opportunity to connect with colleagues from around the region, make new connections, and explore the exhibit hall in a leisurely environment. Please join us in the Arch View Ballroom from 7 PM- 9 PM on Thursday. Special Events on Friday, March 21, 2014 Ø The Exhibit Hall will be open all day from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. There are designated breaks to visit with exhibitors; however, you may want to spend time there during your lunch break or between sessions as well. Several exhibitors are presenting sessions throughout the day on Friday and Saturday. Ø The Awards Ceremony will honor the 2014 Teacher of the Year and the other CSCTFL Teacher of the Year candidates and the recipients of the Paul Simon Award, the Founders Award, and the CSCTFL Scholarships. TheFLAM Awards will also be presented. Please join us in Grand Ballrooms A-D at 9:15 AM. Ø TheKeynote address, immediately following the Awards Ceremony, will be delivered by Dr. Brandon Wiley, Executive Director of the International Studies Schools Network for the Asia Society, who will inspire attendees with his speech about creating globally competent students. Ø The CSCTFLReport Authors’ Luncheon honors presenters whose articles are published in the 2014 CSCTFL Report. Ø Friday evening language receptions provide another opportunity to meet colleagues in specific language groups in a relaxing, social atmosphere. Some gatherings have a program, and others are quite informal. Special Events on Saturday, March 22, 2014 Ø The NNELL Networking Breakfast highlights elementary ideas and resources. Be prepared to share an idea. This is a ticketed event. Ask about space availability at the registration desk if you are not pre-registered.

Central States Connections: 2014 Conference Program 9 Ø At the NADSFL/NCSSFL Luncheon, district and state world language supervisors meet to enjoy lunch and network. If you are a district supervisor, world language department chair, or state supervisor and you don’t know about these two groups, this is a great way to get acquainted with them while enjoying a nice lunch. This is a ticketed event. Ask about space availability at the registration desk if you are not pre-registered. Ø Our Saturday session offerings are packed every hour to maximize opportunities for those who have difficulties joining CSCTFL on weekdays. Special Events throughout the conference Ø The 2013 CSCTFL sessions and workshops that were designated as“ALL STAR” sessions for their outstanding quality and execution will be returning for the 2014 CSCTFL Conference. Ø 9 of our 17 Central States will be presenting a presentation or workshop that their state organizations have designated as “Best of” sessions. We hope you are able to glean some great knowledge from a different state! Ø There are28 great workshops available to attendees.

Central States Connections: 2014 Conference Program 19 Conference Workshop/Extension Workshop Thursday, March 20, 2014 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM Manchester Room Keeping it in the Target Language Presenters: Aleidine J. Moeller, University of Nebraska, Amy Roberts & Katie Hayes, Pius High School, Lincoln Nebraska There is much debate about the use of the target language and first language in the world language classroom. How much target language will maximize language development? When should the first language be used and how often? Studies have reported higher language proficiency for students in addition to higher intrinsic motivation for learning a foreign language, lower attrition and greater appreciation of language learning when target language use is standard classroom practice. Classroom strategies and examples designed to optimize and expand target language use in the classroom will be described and illustrated. Classroom teachers who use target language exclusively in the classroom will share best practices while involving participants actively in learning tasks and strategies. Building on language acquisition research and theory, principles and guidelines for integration of the target language will be demonstrated via hands-on tasks and classroom videos. Participants will share their best strategies and develop a plan for a professional development presentation or workshop to be presented in their respective schools, school districts and professional organizations.

*************************** Participants apply in advance to attend this daylong workshop. Each year approximately twenty-five participants are selected to attend the Conference Workshop (CW) on Thursday during the annual meeting of Central States. Here they receive information and materials about recent trends in foreign language teaching. Participants are then asked to conduct a similar Extension Workshop (EW) in their local area in order to bring the Conference and its new and evolving ideas to a greater number of teachers. The CW is the training session during which participants learn to conduct their own workshops. Participants receive a set of materials from each of the presenters, giving them the content information that they can use for their own EWs. They also receive guidelines and ideas for organizing, publicizing, and presenting a workshop. The emphasis in the CW is on the practical application of the new ideas for the classroom. At the end of the six-hour CW, participants are ready to conduct one or more EWs for foreign language educators in their own states. They can adjust the format, time frame, and material selection for their needs. The ultimate goal of the CW/EW Program is to improve the quality of foreign language instruction by providing up-to-date information to teachers unable to attend the Central States Conference. The CW/EW program offers participants the opportunity to learn how to organize and present a workshop, to meet other foreign language educators throughout the CSCTFL region, to strengthen ties with teachers in their local area, and to serve as resource people in their foreign language community. Once participants have attended the CW training, presented their own EW(s), and filed a brief report, they will receive a small honorarium to help cover expenses. The Extension Workshop is open only to those whose proposals have been submitted and accepted. Coordinators: Mary Goodwin, Chair, Lucas Hoffman, and Kerisa Baedke.
