Mentorship Videos
SCFLTA members represent a wide range of experiences, and backgrounds. To leverage the great expertise that exists throughout the state, we are creating a series of short (1 – 7 minutes) mentoring videos answering questions such as “What best practices do you apply regularly in your WL classroom?” and “How do I get my students to use the target language?” The videos will be made available on our website to members and non-members of SCFLTA
If you would like to participate or if you have any questions about the videos, please contact Heather Giles at [email protected] , or any other board member.
Thanks,

Using Materials in Context to Prepare Students for Speaking and Writing Proficiency Tests
Presenters: Jessie Creech and Allison Price
Do you prepare students for a proficiency-based test? This session will present strategies we used to encourage student proficiency in context on production tests at different levels of language. We will discuss the aspects of writing and speaking that we use to prove proficiency at different levels and what types of activities encourage student growth. Participants will exchange ideas on how they already do this in their classrooms and how to improve existing activities.
