SALTA NEWS
Dear Colleagues,
I hope this message finds you well and getting through the first month of the semester in good spirits!
SALTA is thrilled to announce that we will host one ‘SALTA Share Saturday’ sessions each month in Fall 2024- September 28, October 19 and November 16 from 1pm to 2pm Eastern Time. The SALTA Share Saturday is a friendly forum that offers the language teaching and learning community another opportunity to come together and share timely ideas, projects, and solutions relevant to any aspect of teaching. We encourage language faculty at all levels to participate and share in these sessions.
We invite you to sign up to share the ideas you implemented in your South Asian language class using this Google form. It can be an activity that your students did in the class, an innovative use of technology, a lesson that your students appreciated, an assessment criterion that worked well for your class, a teaching practice, a collaborative project used in your class, etc. You might want to share how you plan your lessons or where you find your resources. The ideas can be shared in anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes leading us into a group discussion. The goal is to initiate a dialogue among the colleagues to maximize professional exchanges and collaboration among SALTA community. Please feel free to use a PowerPoint slide, show your students’ creations, and alike, though none of it is mandatory. It is a great platform to get suggestions and constructive feedback before presenting at a conference. Or you may want to share the same ideas that you have already presented at a conference.
