How do we get our students writing? How does writing fit in a Comprehensible Input world? Join fellow language teachers to learn how they are applying different strategies and theories to build students' abilities at creating comprehensible writing works. There are two opportunities this spring to advance your knowledge in writing in the World Language classroom. If you would like to participate in the book study, sign up for the book study ($40), purchase the book ($20.99) and join the Google Classroom. Ryan Mayer, FLAND's First President-Elect will be your instructor. If you would like to join us for the in-person conference and network with fellow World Language teachers, also sign up for the conference. If you decide to participate in the book study, you can also earn a credit through UND, NDSU, or Minot. This is a separate fee that you must sign up for on your own.
-Conference and credit are independent of each other. The credit is optional for the book study.
