DESCRIPTION:

Online component: It is conducted in a Google classroom, for which each participant receives an individual invitation to register. Participants will complete 4 Modules (each about 3 – 5 days long). Each module is introduced with a powerpoint lecture, it also includes specific deadlines, reading assignments, reaction/journal entries, viewing and critiquing video-recorded classes, development of tasks and activities, etc. Teachers work individually or in small groups, depending on the task at hand.

It is asynchronous with two optional live chat sessions per week. Teachers are encouraged to contact members of our NYU team with any questions or reactions to the materials and tasks assigned.

On-site component: It runs for five hours daily (Breakfast at 8:30; 9:00 am — 3:00 pm) for 7 days. Every session consists of interactive presentations and modeling of best practices by a second language acquisition specialist and of hands-on language-specific applications supervised by language experts. The NYU team is available 3-5pm daily for extra individual and/or team time to support work on assignments. The language-specific activities address communicative ways of teaching and use of authentic materials, as well as the designing of culture-based authentic and quasi-authentic activities. Participants learn the most up-to-date student-centered, project and performance-based, standards-based teaching methodologies in a learning-by-doing environment. They are required to develop, observe and critique classroom procedures, strategies and teaching techniques. The program includes a cultural component whereby participants learn how to use the resources available in the community environment.

Last week online: It is used to complete the work on the final products and for submission.
