Authentic Communication
Building, Prepping for, and Fostering Authentic Communication in the Classroom
AM - Session 1 - Preparing Students for Authentic Academic Conversations
This session highlights how to engage students to use more language more often in all types of academic communication tasks. It emphasizes helping students work on their oral language, thinking, and social skills in preparation for having rich conversations. Participants will engage in activities and analyze videos.
PM - Session 2 - Developing Students' Academic Conversation Skills
This session builds on Session 1 to highlight ways in which to develop students' conversation skills so that they can effectively collaborate with others to build up key ideas across disciplines. We will also look at ways to scaffold collaborative arguments in which they objectively seek the truth in an issue, not just a way to 'win.' Participants will engage in activities and analyze classroom videos.
