A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

Today's world language teachers face numerous challenges in the classroom. From limited resources to diverse student needs, it can be overwhelming to meet the demands of modern language education. As a world language and a STEAM emerging technology teacher, I am always looking for new ways to increase my productivity and better engage my students in learning. It didn't take long for me to realize that AI could have tremendous potential to enhance the way I teach and how my students learn languages. By embracing these innovative ideas, I quickly and easily created more personalized and engaging learning experiences for my students and, with minimal effort thanks to our new tools, helped them develop the language skills they need to succeed in my classroom and in our increasingly globalized world.

I believe that AI should not be used simply as a substitute for traditional teaching methods, but as a complement that enhances and enriches the language learning experience as well as improving my own efficiency and productivity as a teacher. By incorporating AI into my world language lessons, I can engage my students in a way that makes language learning more interesting and relevant to their lives. They can see how this technology can be used to bridge cultural and linguistic barriers and how their language skills might be applied in real-world scenarios. My goal for this NEW one-day seminar is to introduce you to the latest developments in AI and how they can be used to better support teaching and learning in your Grades 6-12 world language classes.

If you are ready to engage your students in a whole new way and discover ways to improve your productivity and free up your valuable time, join me for this unique one-day seminar and discover the power of AI in language learning. My goal is that you will leave feeling both inspired and equipped to use AI tools in your own world language classes. Whether you are a seasoned educator or just starting out, there is something for everyone in this one-day seminar!

Sincerely,
Rachelle Dené Poth

P.S. I invite you to grab your professional passport and join me for an idea-packed AI day trip! Leave room in your bag to return with oodles of fresh, practical ideas you can implement in your world language classes immediately!
