Writing in the World Language Classroom

Transform writing in the language classroom into a powerful tool for authentic communication! This fully online, self-paced workshop guides world language educators through a practical, step-by-step framework for building students' writing proficiency and confidence.

What You’ll Learn:
Across five focused parts, you’ll explore how to:

• Shift the focus from writing for grammar practice to writing for real-world communication.
• Identify and teach various text genres (like recounts, narratives, and instructions) that students encounter.
• Implement the Interactive Model and Genre-Based Pedagogy, a structured approach to move students from interpreting authentic resources to creating their own writing.
• Guide students through the stages of the writing process—pre-writing, drafting, feedback, revision, and publishing.
• Provide growth-minded feedback that focuses on patterns and promotes student self-correction.

Workshop Features:

• A series of high-quality video presentations breaking down each concept.
• Advance Organizers and Reflection Activities for every part to apply learning directly to your context.
• A self-paced format that fits your busy schedule.
• Downloadable Certificate of Completion awarding 3 hours of professional development/contact time.
• Lifetime access to all workshop materials.

Bonus!

You'll also gain access to an exclusive online community discussion board for language teachers focused on proficiency—share ideas, ask questions, and get support from peers.

Whether you're looking to revitalize your writing instruction or seeking a clear, effective framework to implement from the start, this workshop provides the strategies and tools you need to help your students become confident and capable writers.
