Clockwise from top left above, students visiting the Fuentidueña Chapel, a permanent loan to The Cloisters in
New York City from the government of Spain, Miami’s Ancient Spanish Monastery, the oldest building in the
Western Hemisphere, and students visiting the Ancient Americas Exhibit at Chicago’s Field Museum of
Natural History.
We at
Spanish on Location have long believed that unless students get interested early, in
the people, history and culture of the places where Spanish is spoken, they will not stay
enrolled in Spanish for the joy of conjugating irregular verbs.
To get them interested, and keep them interested, the study of Spanish needs to be fun, interesting
and relevant, and there is no better way to make it such, than to get students out of their zip codes,
with teachers who can connect and reinforce what they students are learning in class to what is
happening in the real world. This is no less important to a language student than looking through a
microscope would be to a student of biology. Seeing is believing.
For further information about our affordable, meticulously planned trips to New York City, Chicago
and Miami, please visit our web site, www.SpanishOnLocation.com or better yet, call us at
855.628.2894.
We sincerely believe that our affordable, domestic Spanish trips, developed and refined over 30 years,
are the very best available anywhere, and we look forward to demonstrating that to you.

Clockwise from top left above, a view of Notre Dame de Paris at dusk, Québec City’s Château
Frontenac in winter, and an interior view of beautiful Notre Dame Basilica in Old Montréal.
We at FRENCH ON LOCATION have long believed that unless students get interested
early, in the people, history and culture of the places where French is spoken, they
will not stay enrolled in French classes for the joy of conjugating irregular verbs.
To get them interested, and keep them interested, the study of French needs to be fun,
interesting and relevant, and the best way to make it so, is to get students out of their zip
codes, with teachers who can connect what the students are learning in class to what is
happening in the real world. This is no less important to a language student than looking
through a microscope would be to a student of biology. Seeing is believing, and
understanding and being understood in French in the real world is believing too.

Paris, please visit our web site, www.FrenchOnLocation.com or better yet, call us at

NYSAFLT Webinar Series 2014-2015
Co-sponsored by
the NYS Language Regional
Bilingual Education Resource Network at NYU
http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/metrocenter/rbern/
November 13 -- 7:00 p.m. (1 hour)
IPA 101: Connect the Dots with Can-Do Statements and Integrated
Performance Assessments (IPA)
Beth Slocum
The Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) empowers you to create a
seamless connection between instruction and assessment. By connecting
the dots of the current research in instructional design, the IPA enables
learners to demonstrate their ability to communicate within specific goal
areas. This workshop will review the components of the IPA, model
performance-based authentic assessments and identify resources for
creating your own IPAs.
December 4 -- 7:00 p.m. (1 hour)
Keys to Kindling Communication
Linda Egnatz
Data suggests that the only way to learn a language is to practice speaking
it. It also suggests that students who use the language in class feel more
successful, achieve higher levels of performance and are more likely to
continue language learning. The key to growing language proficiency and
retention seems to be getting students to speak more. Increase
communication in your classroom by lowering the affective filter and
learning strategies that will increase risk taking and spark conversation.
January 29 -- 7:00 p.m. (1 hour)
Starting with the Text
Joanne
O’Toole, Ph.D.
This webinar will discuss and demonstrate ways to plan for students'
language development and cultural learning by starting with a text.
Attention will be given to both narrative and authentic (informational) texts
and lower and higher levels of instruction.
Register now at http://www.nysaflt.org/webinars!

February 12 -- 7:00 p.m. (1 hour) FREE WEBINAR*
Integrating Content Areas into Language Classrooms – What We Can
Learn from Immersion Programs
Pat Lo
“Connections” is one of the ACTFL’s five Standards. In immersion
programs, where content areas such as math, science, and social studies are
taught in the target language, “Connections” becomes imperative and it is
an anchor for language instruction. This webinar will discuss why and how
foreign language teachers can apply this content area approach in their
language classrooms. Examples will be given in Chinese.
March 19 -- 7:00 p.m. (1 hour)
Common Core Reading Strategies - Transformative World Language
Instruction from the Inside Out
Candace R.
Black
Texts, whether digital or traditional print, form the basis of how we
communicate and react to the world. Students' ability to decipher and
comprehend a broad range of texts has become even more essential to their
success with the adoption of the Common Core State Standards. This
workshop will review how to find and scaffold appropriate authentic
documents, develop questioning techniques, teach text marking, develop
text-handling exercises, and finally, how to use the aforementioned texts to
transition to document-based student writing tasks.
April 16 -- 7:00 p.m. (1 hour) FREE WEBINAR*
Establishing Clear Learning Targets for Ourselves and Our Students
Paul Sandrock
Is this important? Will this be on the test? How do language learners and
educators get a clear idea of the target for learning? Can-Do Statements
connect the performance that is practiced and guided in a classroom setting
to the proficiency goals for a course or program. Walk through a process of
creating clear learning targets and the assessments to show evidence of
success. Analyze how this process can help learners and teachers chart
progress along the proficiency continuum.
*Free to the first 100 people who log in at the time of the webinar.
The NYSAFLT webinar series offers professional development throughout the 20142015 school year that addresses multiple facets of world language education. You are
encouraged to register at your earliest convenience for any of the webinars above or
for past webinars, which are available “on demand” at http://www.nysaflt.org. Group
rates are available for department professional development.

"Meaningful Oral Strategy Allowing for Integrated
Culture:" Do you feel like your students have a
limited common knowledge of the world beyond
their immediate surroundings? Join us to view the
beautiful tapestry woven by all of the cultural
threads that make 5 Questions, the weekly cultural
trivia activity we have implemented, one of the
most meaningful parts of our pedagogical
repertoire. We will try to help you expand your
own cultural horizons with ideas and discussions
on how to integrate this activity in the larger scope
of the LOTE curricula. You will also have the
opportunity to design your own cultural mosaic
and to start a database for all of us to share our
materials and ideas.
Participants will be introduced to the world of
fighting bulls and the many different toro events in
Spain. Suggestions will be provided on how to
incorporate tauromaquia lessons for various levels.

5. Revisiting Modern Languages for
Communication
Room: Regency C
Friday, October 10
9:00 – 10:15 a.m.
Session: A/B
The publication of Modern Languages for
Communication revolutionized the way world
languages were taught and assessed in New York.
The philosophy and practical structure of this
groundbreaking document have stood the test of
time. How can scholarship from the past 30 years
inform instruction and assessment and shape
curriculum revision from the bottom up to address
local needs and realize the vision of language
proficiency for all? In this workshop, participants
will consider how to build on the visionary legacy
of Modern Languages for Communication by using
a variety of lenses to examine its enduring strengths
and to consider improvements that can be made to
update and refresh existing curriculum across all
checkpoints.
Bring Culture to Your Classroom
Room: Grand F
Session: A
Time to "culture up" your classroom! The presenter,
who received the NYSAFLT Teacher Travel Grant
to South America last year, will show how the
experience of studying at the Academia
Latinoamericana in Cusco, Peru, has impacted her
teaching and her classroom. The start-to-finish
application process will be discussed, as well as
post-scholarship education and offerings in the
classroom. You don't have to travel to Cusco to add
culture to your classroom, but it doesn't hurt!

Dance Your Way to Program Security
Room: Grand C
Session: A
Applicable to: Any
Are you interested in a new way to connect with
your students? Do you want to make your program
a vital part of the school curriculum? See how one
school developed a cross-curricular unit centered on
world dance and music, taught during the
ELA/math test dates in April. The unit was wellreceived by administrators, teachers, students, and
parents. The presenter will discuss how the unit was
conceptualized, where the team found music and
dance information, and how to clean up lyrics.
There will be handouts and an interactive
demonstration of dance choreography.

Let’s Get Moving: Ideas to Help Keep Students
Tuned In
Room: Grand G
Session: A
How can we inspire confidence in our students?
Where can teachers get some new and creative
ideas? The answer is technology. A walkthrough of
the different writing, audio, and video tools (such as
Voki, Voxopop, VoiceThread, Eyejot, Skype) will
show you endless opportunities and effective ways
to improve student language proficiency.
Do you find your students tuned out or watching the
clock during class? In this session, you will learn
effective strategies to keep students attentive and
engaged in the lesson. The presenter will share ideas
that have been beneficial to kinesthetic learners who
are acquiring basic vocabulary and new
grammatical concepts. Hands-on practice will give
participants a better idea of what types of activities
will work best in their own classes. Wear
comfortable clothing suitable for activities that
require movement. Each participant will receive a
handout of ideas that can be adapted for a variety of
units and levels. At the end of the session,
participants will discuss how they could adapt the
activities to better fit their own classes.

Latin Comes Alive in Urban Schools
Room: Carson
Session: A
People still teach Latin? Ita, docent! Latin studies
are being cut from LOTE programs, ending up as an
elective option of study for advanced students in
rich districts and private schools. That decision is
often due to incorrect assumptions MADE BY
underprivileged districts about the purpose and
accessibility of Latin. But by using techniques such
as Total Physical Response Storytelling and the
Direct Method in conjunction with traditional
grammar translation, studying Latin can help to
close the achievement gap for urban students. When
taught in the context of language projects and
literacy skills, Latin becomes an accessible and
engaging course of study that can have a significant
impact on all students’ learning.

Session: B
Room: Regency B
Session: B
As teachers begin to align their lessons and units to
the Common Core, we need to explore new and
rigorous ways to integrate its reading standards and
six shifts with the best practices of reading in
LOTE. In this interactive workshop, a variety of
examples demonstrating the alignment will be
presented for Checkpoints A, B, and C.
Participants will be guided through the steps
needed to expand current reading activities as they
apply the strategies of cognitive engagement,
constructivist learning, close reading, and 21st
century skills.
Session: B
Lip dubs are a style of wildly active lip sync music
videos filmed in a large continuous space, but all in

your district. Participants will be given step-bystep instructions in choreographing, planning, and
creating a foreign language lip dub, as well as
suggestions on styles of music, pitfalls to avoid,
and more. Lip dubs can be done with students of
all ages. Examples will be shown in German, but

partners? It is so much more! Please join us as we
introduce you to a variety of structures that allow
students to be active participants in their learning
while also giving them a chance to gain confidence
in using the target language. In addition to reviewing the structures we presented at last year’s
NYSAFLT conference, we have several new ones
to share with you. We will also dig deeper into
why these structures are so effective. You will
participate in a variety of quick and easy-to-implement structures that will teach you how to transform your classroom into a more student-centered
environment. Teacher-tested, student-approved!

Room: Regency B
Session: 3-hour PM
Do you think of your classroom as a mixed bag of
students with varying levels of capabilities? Do
you find yourself struggling to get those lowerlevel students up, push the average students just a
little bit further – and what about those advanced
students who always finish first but have nothing
else to do? Learn how to differentiate your LOTE
classroom to make students more comfortable and
to take them to the next level of comprehension.
Participants will get a brief background on
differentiated instruction and on how to apply it to
foreign languages. Participants will experience
useful and classroom-ready strategies designed to
increase knowledge for all levels of learners.
Copies of everything will be provided.
How do I design from the Common Core Learning
Standards with performance as the goal? What
does performance assessment look like? This
workshop guides participants through a model
protocol, aligning backward design with the NYS
LOTE themes and national standards (ACTFL
5Cs). Instructors will learn how to design
articulated and thematic world language units,
develop transfer tasks within the communicative
modes, and plan instruction with 21st century
performance skills in mind. This workshop is
hands-on and interactive with presentation time,
examples, and discussion. Participants will leave
with tools to continue design work in their schools.
This session is also applicable to student teacher
certification expectations.

Best Practices in Technology Integration in
LOTE
Room: Grand G
Session: C
Technology integration is a common goal of most
school districts. Technology use appears as part of
the NYS Common Core Teaching Standards. But
what does this mean in the LOTE classroom? Is
cell phone use acceptable? Should you use your
Smart Board every day? What about the students
who don’t have a smartphone or internet access?
Technology has opened up a world of possibilities
but it also challenges many of the standard
practices we employ every day in the classroom.
Technology integration is more than using the
latest innovation. This session will offer ideas for

Session: D
Using the World-Readiness Standards for
Language Learning (ACTFL, 2013) and the Global
Can-Do Benchmarks (NCSSFL-ACTFL, 2013),
this workshop provides participants with tools for
determining proficiency-based tasks that are
explicitly Common Core-aligned. Approaches will
be modeled for all proficiency levels and
participants will have the opportunity to apply the
concepts themselves.
21st century learning suggests that as world
language teachers, we must create lessons framed
by essential questions. Those questions anchor our
lessons and promote those all-important critical
thinking skills as they investigate social skills, all
of which are required by the Common Core state
standards. In this session we will explore how to
successfully implement the use of essential
questions from inception to assessment,

with language in the interpersonal, interpretive,
and presentational modes of communication. In
this workshop, participants will deconstruct several
can-do statements and learn how they impact
learning. The presenter will discuss methods to use
the statements to assess students and program, as
well as how to modify learning so that students
meet the standards explained by the can-do
statements.

Are you looking for a user-friendly way to
differentiate instruction? A free online website,
www.lessonpaths.com, is used to differentiate
instruction and organize your lesson in a step-bystep playlist. You can personalize each lesson and
will never have to fumble for a worksheet, a video
clip, PDF files, PowerPoint presentations or other
online and personal resources. Students will be
engaged in the lesson in a computer lab or in your
classroom. A handout with step-by-step
instructions will be provided. If you have a Wi-Fi
ready device, bring it and view my playlists, find
other teachers’ playlists, or begin to create your
own!
This presentation will focus on specific activities to
foster better target language communication skills
for all students. We will follow the steps necessary
to help even the weakest student perform
confidently. A performance goal for each language
skill (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) will
be used as an example. While examples will be in
Spanish and are geared toward the middle school
student, the task analysis and differentiated
strategies can be applied to all levels.

NYSAFLT Award Histories
The Sister Rose Aquin Caimano Distinguished Administrator Award was named in honor of a former President of
NYSAFLT who embodied all of the characteristics of a distinguished administrator. A teacher of Spanish at the Dominican
College in Blauvelt, New York, she was a respected and well-loved leader as well as a delightful and brilliant person. The first
Sister Rose Aquin Caimano Distinguished Administrator Award was presented in 1971 to Sister Natalie Casey of Blauvelt
College.
The Ferdinand DiBartolo NYS Distinguished Foreign Language Leadership Award is presented annually to the President
of NYSAFLT in recognition of his/her dedication and service to our organization and to the profession. Ferdinand DiBartolo
was a pioneer in the establishment of what was then called “The New York State Federation of Foreign Language Teachers.”
He was a foreign language leader and an officer of the federation. In l967, he received the "50th Anniversary Award" of our
organization. He was at the forefront of the effort of our organization to ensure the continuance of the Modern Language
Journal when ACTFL was formed. The first recipient of this award was Joseph A. Tursi, in 1973.
The Sally G. Hahn Award was established in 2007. A long-time member of NYSAFLT and supporter of FLES programs,
Sally G. Hahn felt so strongly about the benefits of early language instruction that she made it possible for NYSAFLT to give
an annual award of up to $1000 to an outstanding FLES program in New York.
The Dorothy Ludwig Memorial Award for Service to the Profession was named after the wife of Robert J. Ludwig, former
Executive Director of NYSAFLT. Dorothy Ludwig was a math teacher and guidance counselor who was an enthusiastic
supporter of foreign language education. For twenty-three years, she tirelessly devoted her time to assisting NYSAFLT in
numerous ways. This award was created in her memory in 1986 to honor those who have followed in her path. The first
Dorothy Ludwig Memorial Award was presented in 1988 to Peter Hughes of the Edison Technical and Occupational Center in
Rochester, NY.
The Anthony J. Papalia Award is given annually to a NYSAFLT member who has published an outstanding article in a state
or national foreign language education publication. This award memorializes a distinguished past president of NYSAFLT
whose writings have had a great influence in both New York State and in the nation for their contribution to research and
practice in the foreign language field. Dr. Papalia is also honored by an ACTFL award given by NYSAFLT in his memory for
his contribution to teacher training. Anthony Papalia was President of NYSAFLT in 1983.
The President’s Award is presented annually to an individual or individuals whom the President of NYSAFLT wishes to
recognize for outstanding and continuous service to NYSAFLT and to the foreign language community.
The Senator Paul Simon Friend of Foreign Language Award is given to a person who is not a teacher of a foreign language,
but who has been a champion of our cause. This award title was altered in 2004 to include one of our greatest supporters, the
late Senator Paul Simon.
The Ruth E. Wasley Distinguished Teacher Award was named after a former secretary of NYSAFLT and a professor and
teacher/trainer of foreign language methodology at SUNY Albany. Extremely innovative and creative, and known for her sense
of humor, Dr. Wasley was a methodologist par excellence and an outstanding role model for her students. In 1969, Dorothy
Rivers Shoudy was the first recipient of the Ruth E. Wasley Distinguished Teacher Award.
The Robert J. Ludwig Distinguished Leadership Award is presented to a keynote speaker who has been recognized
nationally as a leader in our profession. The first National Distinguished Leadership Award was presented to Nelson Brooks of
Yale University in 1969. This award is named after Robert J. Ludwig, President of NYSAFLT 1963-1969, later Administrative
Assistant, and finally Executive Director through 2003.
As the name suggests, the NYSAFLT Culture through the Arts Award honors a person who has spread the message of
language and culture through the arts. The first Culture through the Arts Award was presented in 1967 to George Balanchine.
The Outstanding Journalist/Media Presenter Award is presented to a journalist or media presenter who has done an
exceptional job showcasing the cause of foreign language teaching and/or learning. NYSAFLT is extremely grateful to those in
the media who understand the importance of foreign language education and take on the daunting task of bringing this message
to the public.
The Remunda Cadoux Leadership in Foreign Language Supervision Award was named for Remunda Cadoux, Chairperson
of the Foreign Language Department at Christopher Columbus High School in New York City and a former member of the
NYSAFLT Board of Directors. Author of one of the early State syllabi for foreign language education, she was the first woman
to pass the eligibility examination for Director of Foreign Languages in New York City. The first Remunda Cadoux Award for
Leadership in Foreign Language Supervision was presented in 1985 to Robert J. Ludwig.

For 50 years, EF has worked with educators to
provide students with immersive educational
experiences that develop 21st Century Skills
including critical thinking, problem solving and
collaboration to achieve global competence.
Please visit EF Representatives Kate Bischoff
and Beth Bukis at their booth in the Exhibitor’s

LANGUAGE IMMERSION TOURS
To learn a new language, it helps to fall
in love with where it’s from. Make both
happen by combining interactive lessons
at our EF International Language Schools
with authentic cultural experiences. Each
day has a theme—like art, history or food
—that connects the day’s lesson to handson activities and conversations with locals.
EDUCATIONAL TOURS
Take students out of their comfort zones
and into an experience that makes them
more open-minded and confident. Your
Tour Director will be with you every step
of the way and expert local guides will
explain the significance of the world’s
most amazing locations.
SERVICE LEARNING TOURS
Work side-by-side with locals on
community-driven projects in Africa,
Asia or the Americas. EF partners with
established non-profits and NGOs to
make sure your contributions are both
meaningful and sustainable.
