In this course participants will experience how to build a Culture of Thinking in the foreign language classroom, practicing how to develop learning opportunities that assist students in cultivating dispositions necessary in the language acquisition process. The presenters, both secondary-level Spanish teachers, will offer examples of teaching and learning experiences using thinking routines, including reflections from students about how these routines helped them to contextualize their language use as well as lowered their affective filters towards their practice. The intention of this interactive course will be to show how thinking routines can promote a positive attitude for foreign language learners who too often find themselves trapped in frustrating "right or wrong" mind frames.
Intended Audience: General, Foreign Language teachers
