Grading:   90-100 A    80-89 B    70-79 C    60-69 D   59 F

Participation and Homework:  You are expected to be prepared for discussion by having read the assigned chapters and by having prepared and written out your responses to the "Observe and Reflect/Teach and Reflect,"  and "Discuss and Reflect" (Case Studies), in the Teacher's Handbook, as well as any article reviews due.  A notebook containing these items will be graded at designated times during the semester.  We will also discuss issues raised in FLTEACH, so you should be prepared to talk about those which have interested you.  As you finish each observation of a language teacher's class, you should be prepared to discuss the kinds of activities which you observed, and how what you observed relates to the topics which we are studying.

Professionalism:
You will join FLAVA (the Foreign Language Association of Virginia) and/or VATESOL and your AAT organization (AATSP, AATF, AATG) or TESOL.  You are encouraged to become a member of ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) also.  You will attend the FLAVA annual conference or the Virginia TESOL Conference.  Funding will be sought to help defray costs of attendance (but these are not expensive, as conferences go).  

Quizzes:
There will be weekly quizzes on the content of each chapter in the Teacher's Handbook; the questions will require a detailed reading of the chapter.

FLTEACH listserv:  You will subscribe to the FLTEACH listserv (instructions will be given in class), and be prepared to discuss each week those "threads" which are of most interest to you or which pertain to any of the topics which we are studying.  If possible, bring printouts of some of the most helpful letters to share.

Article Reviews:  You will write reviews of five journal articles, and you will place these in your electronic portfolio.  Your review should contain your statement of the thesis of the article, summaries of the main evidence or arguments presented by the author, the author's conclusions, what you think the author's intentions are, and your critical evaluation of these elements, including any response you would like to make, and your evaluation of the significance of the research, study or ideas presented.

Observations: You will observe language classes four times during the semester and will record your reflections, thoughts, and ideas concerning what you observe.  You should attempt to observe four different teachers if at all possible.  For the first two observations, you should look for answers to the questions on pages 15 and 16 of the Teacher's Handbook, and for the other observations, you should use the "Teacher Observation Form" and the "Etiquette Guidelines" which you will receive.    You will not be evaluating the teacher whose class you are observing; rather you are trying to learn from him/her how one incorporates all of the elements we are studying into a classroom lesson.  You will turn in your written "reflections" and we will discuss your experiences in class.

Unit Plan:  You will prepare a plan for a complete unit (to cover a period of approximately 2-3 weeks), consisting of the overall content, objectives and strategies for the unit, and you will prepare a plan for each lesson to be taught during the unit (from 10-15 lessons).  You will place these in your electronic portfolio.  You will receive detailed instructions and models.

Demonstration of Lesson Plan:  You will design a brief mini-lesson, part of one of your daily lesson plans submitted with your Unit Plan, which you will teach to our class; your mini-lesson must be limited to 10 - 15 minutes.  Your plan, and any materials you use, will become part of your web-portfolio.  You will receive guidance on the desired components of your lesson.

Midterm and Final Exams:   There will be a midterm (week 7) and a final exam covering all materials presented and discussed in this course.  There will be some identification-style questions and some essay-style questions, as well as some problem-solving questions.

Electronic Portfolio:  You will compose an electronic portfolio of your work which will be used by fellow students in the class to share what you are learning from your reading and your research, and which may also be used to give prospective employers an idea of your progress and promise as a teacher.  We will link your portfolio to the class web-site, and it will be used as evidence in the assessment of Longwood's teacher preparation program by NCATE.  Visit  some examples of student Portfolios from Longwood University and from elsewhere:  Illinois StateArizona State,   Virginia Tech 1,    Virginia Tech 2,    Virginia Tech 3,    Virginia Tech 4.   You can also access the Portfolio Guidelines from Virginia Tech.  Visit the Longwood University Front Page Tutorials for help in creating your web portfolio with Front Page.

Instructions for accessing the on-line Modern Language Journal:

To access the online articles in the Modern Language Journal, follow these steps

1. Click on Wilson OmniFile Full Text Select

2. In the "Search for" box, type Modern Language Journal, and click the choice for "Within the last 12 months", and then click "START".

3. You will see a list of about 10 articles, the first page of the list, so scroll thru to see if you see one of interest. Some are just book reviews, I think they are in parenthesis, so make sure you find a real article. At the bottom of the page in the taskbar are the arrows to click to go to the next page of about 10 articles, and you can click on the bottom arrows until you find one that sounds interesting.

4. Choose an article, click on the title of it, and it takes you to more info about the article, including an abstract. Read the abstract to see if it is interesting, and if so, go to the bottom of the entry to see 2 web addresses, one for html (regular web page) and one for PDF file. Highlight and copy the address you want and paste it into the address line at the top and go there. You will have the full article. You can print it out or read it on line.
