Sophie Adamson, an assistant professor of French, presented at the Southern Conference on Language Teaching in Myrtle Beach on April 5. The conference theme, “Languages for the Nation,” reflected the vital role of language study in the 21st century.
The presentation was voted the “Best of SCOLT” and will be featured at
the 2008 ACTFL Convention (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign
Languages) in November.
The premise of the presentation was that effective communication is more than a matter of language proficiency. Adamson presented examples of student digital projects that demonstrate cultural insight while attending to language learning outcomes.
