SUMMARY:Forging Connections: Balancing Individual and Collaborative Practices in FSL Education
DESCRIPTION:CASLT FSL Research Exchange\nWelcome to the next installment of the CASLT FSL Research Exchange – an engaging virtual platform dedicated to pushing our thinking related to key areas in French as a Second Language (FSL) research. Building on the rich discussion and engagement in our exchanges to date\, we will continue exploring the pivotal challenges facing FSL educators. \nOur fourth event in the series promises to be a thought-provoking exploration of the relational dynamics within FSL education. \nJoin us as we navigate Gap #4: Teaching as an Individual vs. Relational Process from our recently published report\, Identifying Requirements and Gaps in French as a Second Language (FSL) Teacher Education: Recommendations and Guidelines. \nForging Connections: Balancing Individual and Collaborative Practices in FSL Education\nFeatured Presenter: Dr. Sarah Mercer (Professor and Department Head\, University of Graz) \nIn this session\, Dr. Sarah Mercer will join us as we explore the individual and relational aspects of FSL teaching. Leveraging her expertise in teacher psychology\, pre-service teacher identity development\, socio-emotional intelligence\, and well-being\, Sarah will delve into the complexities of this issue\, offering fresh perspectives on the challenges and opportunities arising from attempts to balance individualized teaching approaches with the need for collaborative\, relational practices in FSL education. Sarah will also highlight key questions for researchers\, aiming to inspire new insights and innovative solutions for addressing this challenge in FSL education. \nResearch Exchange Agenda\nWelcome and Introductions \nA warm welcome and introductions will help us set the tone for an enriching exchange of ideas. \nFeatured Presenter \nDelve into this theme with a distinguished presenter who will share their insights and make connections to relevant research and experiences. Our goal is to push our thinking beyond the “usual” questions/issues linked to the theme. Our featured presenters bring significant wisdom and experience from extensive work in FSL/L+ education. \nGuided Discussion: Opportunities for Collaboration and Building Bridges in Research \nFollowing our opening discussion with Dr. Mercer\, we invite attendees to engage in a vibrant conversation. We will explore guiding questions that encourage participants to share their thoughts\, experiences\, and ideas. \nWhy Attend?\nConnect With Peers: Engage with fellow researchers who share your passion for FSL education and are dedicated to advancing the field in meaningful ways. \nInspiring Insights: Explore ways of shifting the conversation about FSL education in Canada beyond our usual thinking. \nInteractive Dialogue: Participate in lively discussions\, sharing your thoughts and learning from others. \nOpportunities for Collaboration: Discover potential research partners and avenues for impactful projects.

SUMMARY:Strengthening Our Community Session 5: Move! Sing! Dance! Think! Chat!
DESCRIPTION:FSL Fundamentals: Strengthening our Community\nVIRTUAL COMMUNITY-BUILDING EVENTS\nThe main goal of this virtual event series is to strengthen our community through participation in hands-on learning activities that will develop a sense of belonging to a network of French as an additional language teachers. Through a series of five sessions between fall 2023 and spring 2024\, we will discover cultural elements specific to the French-speaking world. Each session will be interactive\, allowing you to learn about a cultural theme through experiences. You will be able to transfer what you’ve learned to your classroom or simply take advantage of these moments to relax. \nWe work so hard to meet our students’ needs that we sometimes forget to consider our own emotional needs. Take some time to have fun while making connections\, speaking French\, and developing your intercultural skills in a relaxed environment. \nSession 5: Move! Sing! Dance! Think! Chat!\nMusic impacts our hearts\, our minds\, and our speech – and those of our French learners. \nPlato said that “If you want to know a people\, you have to listen to their music.” Music allows our students to learn to better understand and appreciate the cultural diversity of the Francophonie. It encourages students to develop not only their literacy skills\, but their understanding of francophone culture. Music also helps us build a community that respects students’ identities and preferences. Watching music videos in the classroom allows you to use texts (oral and written) as well as visual elements to develop language skills\, which can also serve as triggers to examine themes\, social issues\, stereotypes\, and identities. \nIn this hands-on\, interactive session\, participants will take on the role of students who have been given the opportunity to respond to different French-language songs and genres while developing their language and essential/transversal skills. You will leave the session with a free toolkit that can be used in your classroom to engage your students in the learning process using French-language music. \nIn this final session of the series\, get ready to move\, dance\, sing\, and enjoy and evaluate French-language music!

This session will explain how to adapt evidence-based strategies from Orton-Gillingham for FSL students. In this workshop\, Lindsay will share the What\, Why\, and How of adapting a Structured Literacy approach in the FSL language classroom. Teachers will leave this workshop with practical\, high yield strategies for each of the six elements of a Structured Literacy approach — oral language\, phonemic awareness\, phonics\, vocabulary development\, fluency\, listening and reading comprehension — as well as strategies to support student printing and spelling skills. Most importantly\, teachers will leave this workshop feeling confident in their ability to help struggling readers in FSL and inspired to learn more about the Science of Reading to support second language learners! \nLinguistic Security: How to Develop Oral Confidence for All FSL Learners\nFacilitator: Denis Cousineau\nLearning an additional language is always a challenge. It makes us vulnerable and requires a willingness to take risks. This often frightens us because we want to understand and be understood. What happens if I make a mistake or use the wrong word? Will I look ridiculous? Millions of people face these questions every day when they put their language skills into action\, starting with their listening\, production\, and interaction skills. For some researchers\, the focus is on that anxiety known as linguistic insecurity. Others\, like Monica Tang\, focus on the construction of a legitimate bilingual or multilingual identity. This workshop will look at a pedagogical approach that aims to develop a greater sense of security\, identity\, and even confidence in speaking. Like any good swimming instructor\, let’s help our students learn to float without worrying about drowning! Some may go on to swim in the Olympics while others play in our wonderful Canadian lakes\, but let’s allow everyone to have fun. Confident bilingualism is within everyone’s grasp! \nShifting Perspectives in FSL: Centring Student Voices\, Identity\, and CRRP\nFacilitator: Karen Devonish-Mazzotta\nTo better engage FSL learners\, educators must shift their attention to centring student voice\, student interest\, student agency\, and student identity. When students have more opportunities to see themselves in the FSL classroom and to make meaningful and relevant connections with their lived experiences\, second language learning becomes an opportunity to explore and apply language in transformative ways. During this workshop\, participants will engage in a deep dive reflection on their social identities and how these inform their practice\, FSL pedagogy\, and learning. A juxtaposition between Culturally Relevant and Responsive Pedagogy\, Intercultural Understanding and Awareness\, and French as a Second Language curriculum will provide an opportunity to explore anti-oppressive teaching strategies and to highlight the importance of critical consciousness in all aspects of FSL policy\, practice\, teaching\, and learning.
