The 2021 - 2022 World Language Webinar Series is focused on pedagogical best practices and draws on the Teacher Effectiveness for Language Learning (TELL) Framework. Each 1-hour broadcast will feature TELL criteria from one of the domains and a discussion about how teachers can use the TELL criteria and its sub-criteria to reflect on how effectively they are implementing the proficiency-based North Carolina World Language Essential Standards.

Guest speakers from across the state, who are recognized as model World Language teachers, will be invited to share how the TELL criteria characteristics and behaviors are evident in their classrooms with students learning languages, K-12.  

All teachers and administrators of K-12 World Language programs, as well as post-secondary instructors, professors, and researchers, are welcome.
