Event Description:
We language educators understand the importance of building community in our classes while many of us might be still uncertain about what kind of community we want to build and how we can build specifically. The presenter will first examine what community is, who are our community members, what kind of community we want to build with participants. The presenter will then introduce some strategies, skills and examples about how to plan, build and maintain a community as language educators in both on-ground and online language classes, including connecting with students, families, colleagues, local and global communities. Participants will reflect their current practices of building community and learn some practical strategies and skills for better building their learning community, both in on-ground and in online language classes.

CLTA-WA members in good standing (July 1st, 2020-June 30, 2021) will have exclusive access to post-webinar materials (presenter-shared ppt slides in pdf or ppt form, and/or video recordings released with presenters’ consent).

What makes the difference between a student who is willing to try versus one who feels helpless? How do learners develop the grit and resilience needed to build new skills? This 90-minute workshop provides an overview of self-efficacy, how it impacts student development, and how can we nurture self-efficacious behavior in the classroom.  Participants will engage with the material, and each other, and leave with new ideas to create more opportunities for self-determination, autonomy, and mastery in their learning environment.
