Modern language study has grown in importance over the last decade. Spurred by globalization, enrollments have increased. The proficiency revolution has yielded results, and more students feel that foreign language classes are addressing their primary needs - to understand and communicate!The foreign language field, however, faces new challenges. How can we use technology to meet our goals? How can media and the Internet be used effectively? How can we use portfolios to improve writing proficiency? How can the AP program drive our curriculum?The College of Mount Saint Vincent, located on the Hudson River in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, invites you to explore these and other issues in a one-day workshop. Our intent is to stimulate, inspire, and provide you with tools to make your language program even better!- No inscription fee.- Free samples of texts.- Abundant handouts, including DVDs and CDs.- Complimentary breakfast, lunch and wine and cheese reception.Program8:00 - 9:00 am.Arrival on campus (Complimentary breakfast)9:00 - 9:15 am.Welcome address9:15 - 10:00.Plenary SessionInés Powell, Metropolitan Museum of Art: Teaching language with art.10:05 - 10:55.WorkshopsRichard Bueno, Academic Director of Instituto Cervantes (NY): La pronunciación en la enseñanza de E/LE.Marie C.
