2017 CLTA-WA Spokane Fall Workshop Recap

The fall workshop Integrated Performance Instruction and Assessment was led by Mrs. Chungman Gissing and held at Eastern Washington University (EWU) on Saturday, October 28th, 2017. As a lead teacher in summer Startalk program at the University of Hawaii, an IB examiner, and a teacher trainer, Mrs. Gissing brought a wealth of knowledge to share with this year’s participants.

Mrs. Gissing led an engaging and informative workshop that included many valuable hands-on activities. Participants looked at examples of meaningful communication activities and tasks in a language classroom, analyzed and examined different lesson plans, and used a backwards design lesson plan template to design lessons using language in meaningful and authentic situations.

Workshop participants were very happy with the workshop and found the ideas and techniques shared during the session were beneficial. We want to extend our appreciation to the sponsors:  CLTA-WA, the Confucius Institute of the State of Washington, and EWU’s Department of Modern Languages and Literatures.
