Building a Multimodal Language Curriculum to Enhance Student Agency and Motivation

Co-sponsored by: the Center for Advanced Language Proficiency Education and Research (CALPER)

The Center for Global Studies, Penn State University

Date: Saturday, September 14, 2024

Location: Sparks Building (In-person) and Zoom (Virtual)

Presenter: Natalie Amgott, Carnegie Mellon University

Workshop:

In this interactive workshop, participants will explore how to design engaging language learning curriculum through digital multimodal projects as summative assessments. We will discuss the benefits of moving beyond traditional written assessments to promote more thorough language learning with tasks like vlogs, blogs, and digital poetry.

The workshop will equip participants with a backwards design approach, starting with the desired learning outcomes and media to then craft multimodal project rubrics. We will explore practical strategies for fostering student agency and motivation, as well as critical digital literacy, through these projects. We will also discuss how AI tools can be leveraged in both the creation of the rubrics for these projects and to scaffold the multimodal design process.

Participants will learn how to convert in-person activities to engaging online or flipped classroom formats, and vice versa. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to build a project-based, multimodal unit for a language course that fosters student agency, motivation, and growth mindset.

This summer, educators and administrators have been searching for an alternative to Flip (formerly Flipgrid) since its transition to Microsoft Teams.

Well don’t flip out! Make it easy for teachers and students and do it on Extempore instead. With its basic interface, Extempore allows students to easily record both audio and video responses, which can all be scored and provided teacher feedback.

Enjoy a free trial of Extempore through September 30th, 2024.
