Event Description:
We language educators understand the importance of building community in our classes while many of us might be still uncertain about what kind of community we want to build and how we can build specifically. The presenter will first examine what community is, who are our community members, what kind of community we want to build with participants. The presenter will then introduce some strategies, skills and examples about how to plan, build and maintain a community as language educators in both on-ground and online language classes, including connecting with students, families, colleagues, local and global communities. Participants will reflect their current practices of building community and learn some practical strategies and skills for better building their learning community, both in on-ground and in online language classes.

CLTA-WA members in good standing (July 1st, 2020-June 30, 2021) will have exclusive access to post-webinar materials (presenter-shared ppt slides in pdf or ppt form, and/or video recordings released with presenters’ consent).
