The New York State Association of World Language Administrators (NYSAWLA) in collaboration with the New York State Education Department’s Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages (NYSED OBE-WL) is offering a free, online workshop for world language teachers and administrators working in New York State schools. This workshop, “Curating Authentic Resources for the World Language Classroom,” will be presented by Leslie Grahn, a noted leader, presenter, author, and blogger in the field of world language education. We will explore and discuss “authentic texts”: what they are; ways to find, organize and curate them; and how to use them for intentional skill-building with students.
