April Post, Pablo Celis-Castillo and Kristin Lange from the Department of World Languages and Cultures presented their research at the annual convention and expo of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages.
Three faculty members from the Department of World Languages and Cultures presented at the annual convention of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages held Nov. 26-18 in New Orleans. The event draws more than 8,000 language educators from around the world each year.
Assistant Professor of German Kristin Lange presented together with Diane Richardson, Assistant Professor at West Point Military Academy. In their workshop “Grading as a Rewarding Part of Language Learning and Teaching,” Lange and Richardson presented data on their own grading practices and argued that grading can and should be an integrative part of the learning process, one that is rewarding for instructors and students. Together with workshop attendees, they discussed grading practices such as minimal grading or delaying grades in several institutional contexts.
Post, Celis-Castillo and Lange look forward to sharing insights into the major themes of the ACTFL convention with their departmental colleagues and the larger Elon community.
