Regardless of students’ age or proficiency level, highly efficient teachers should work with a conceptual framework informed by research findings from second language acquisition. In this way, they can implement the prepared curriculum to reach the expected learning outcomes. However, many teachers struggle with where to find entry points for their students to begin the journey, tease out key areas to deepen their knowledge or skills, or assess students against the expected learning targets. This presentation will offer a BMW framework and principles that teachers can apply to enhance instruction and learning. Two experienced teachers will showcase real classroom examples and student work samples to demonstrate how they use the BMW model to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences for students. They will show how to build a scaffold for students to move upward step by step. When students reach the summit through their hard work, they will be able to claim with pride, “I made it, all by myself!” This kind of joyful learning outcome is a dream come true for all students and teachers. The three presenters will engage in Q & A with participants and share instructional strategies and resources. The goal is that the participants will transfer the gains acquired through this presentation to their own classrooms, laying the foundation for a successful new school year.

无论学生的年龄或语言水平为何，高效能教师应该根据二语习得建立的思想框架来实践预备的课程，以达预期效果。但是许多老师往往苦于不知如何切入，如何抓出重点来操作，或者如何验收成果。本讲座将为老师提供一个BMW的教学思想框架和操作时必须关注的原则。同时，两位有经验的老师将通过真实的中小学课堂实例和学生样品来示范怎样简单地用BMW教学模式为学生创造有意义的学习经验，怎样为学生层层搭建阶梯，让他们自己拾阶而上，攀上高处。当他们通过个人努力登上了属于自己的高峰，他们将自豪地说：“我可以上到这么高，是我自己上来的！” 。这种惊喜的学习成果，是老师和学生梦寐以求的。三位主讲老师将有机会跟参与者进行探讨，并分享教学活动和资源，希望参与者能举一反三运用在自己的课堂上，成功地开展新学年的教学。

CELIN Master Webinar #2

Language Immersion and Project-based Learning
语言沉浸式教学和项目式学习

Date: August 29, 2020
Time: 10:30 AM- 12:00 PM ET/9:30 AM-11:00 AM CT/8:30 AM- 10:00 MT/7:30 – 9:00 AM PT

Speakers:

• Dr. Luyi Lien 連鷺役, Academic Director
• Xu Zhu 朱旭, MS math teacher and math league team lead
• Ye Long 龙烨, 1st-grade team leader

Project-based learning could motivate students' learning, but at the same time, it may lose sight of ensuring students' mastery of the language they need to obtain. A project's organization takes a lot of consideration in planning the content and the language. Two teachers will share their specific project-based lessons and a step by step planning timeline for their projects. The participants will learn a practical way to plan their own projects and create tangible milestones for each step.

项目式学习提升学生的学习兴趣，但在激发学生学习兴趣的同时，对于学生语言的掌握也需要给予一定的关注。在组织和计划项目时，需要考虑到学习的内容和语言的重点。两位在沉浸式教学的老师将分享他们各自的项目计划，并提供他们在计划中，如何带领学生一步步扎实学习的过程。与会者将学到实用的项目计划方法，并且能在每一个步骤指出明确的目标成果。

CELIN Master Webinar #3

Developing Effective Writers by Teaching Writing Skills with Intentionality
有系统、有目的地设计写作教学来发展学生的写作能力

Date: September 19, 2020
Time: 10:30 AM- 12:00 PM ET/9:30 AM-11:00 AM CT/8:30 AM- 10:00 MT/7:30 – 9:00 AM PT

Speakers:

• Kevin Chang, 张国荣, Chinese Program Director,
• Hsiao-Chi Su, 苏筱琦, 2nd Grade Chinese Teacher,
• Yinzhu Liu, 刘银珠, 5th Grade Chinese Teacher, CAIS

Moving away from assigning writing tasks to teaching writing skills with intentionality, the presenters in this session will share and discuss how to map out a scope and sequence for teaching writing on a program level with clear and concise "can-do statements" and specific instructions on ways to develop writing skills in various grade levels. The presenters will share a step-by-step process of mapping out writing skills vertically and horizontally and demonstrate how the instructions would look at lower and higher grade levels. The presenters will also share and discuss practical resources for supporting writing in Chinese. 

指定写作题目和有目的地教导写作能力有什么不同？三位老师将和大家分享讨论如何有系统地整合全校的写作教学，并落实在各个班级。 三位老师也会和大家说明如何一步一步地使用ACTFL-NCSSFL 的"Can-do Statements" , 把写作课程横向和纵向的能力划分整理，并示范类似的要求如何分别在低年级和高年级落实。老师们将分享实用的资源来示范说明如何帮助学生发展写作能力。
