TITLE:  Built to Last: Student-Created Resources that Bridge Units and Boost Proficiency

PRESENTER:  Ashley Eberhart

DESCRIPTION: 

Are your students forgetting key structures and vocabulary as soon as a unit ends? Do you find yourself constantly reteaching instead of building toward proficiency? It’s time to shift the weight! In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore engaging, student-driven activities that seamlessly connect one unit to the next—ensuring continuity across all modes of communication.

Designed primarily with Novice to Intermediate Mid world language students in mind, this session will provide ready-to-use strategies that get students creating the very resources they need to sustain and expand their language skills. From interactive chat mats and conversation builders to personalized input activities and collaborative storytelling, we’ll focus on ways to make students the architects of their own learning—while lightening your prep load. Walk away with adaptable templates, fresh ideas, and a renewed sense of how to build a classroom where communication isn’t confined to a single unit but grows naturally over time.
