Summer Opportunities for Language Teachers at Concordia Language Villages

Concordia Language Villages is offering a graduate course in Second Language Methodologies, July 5 – 15, 2005. This 10-day course includes discussion of a variety of topics related to second language instruction. Immersion methodologies and their application to the K-12 classroom will be highlighted. Participants will have the opportunity to visit several of the Language Villages in order to observe immersion methodologies in action. The course will be taught in English.

Participants earn three semester hours of graduate credit upon successful completion of this course, as well as return to their classroom with a plethora of materials to assist in immersion methodology instruction. The course instructor is Donna Clementi, a nationally recognized workshop presenter who has been a classroom teacher for 32 years. The cost for the program, $1,290, includes tuition, food and lodging, class excursions, and instructional material. The Goethe-Institut/AATG offers scholarships to German language teachers nationwide. The Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages offers a scholarship to language teachers from its 17-state region.
