Sometimes in a DLI classroom, it can be easy for all the focus to be on teaching the content at the expense of developing language skills. Are you focusing enough on developing communicative competence? Are you familiar with the ACTFL standards that can guide your instruction? This workshop will showcase strategies for increasing interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational communication in a DLI classroom while teaching the content. Participants will have time to develop their own ideas on how to increase communication.
