Collaboration & Networking

Talk to other LinguaFolio users on the Discussions tab in the #GoOpenNC group, LinguaFolio for North Carolina! The conversation started earlier this month, but anyone can join us at any time. So far, we have these discussions:

• Welcome to 22-23 with LinguaFolio!
• How Do I Learn? Apply & Reflect for the PD for 2022 - 2023

#GoOpenNC is available to all and the LinguaFolio for North Carolina group discussions are public. When you are ready to respond to a discussion, you can login with your NCEdCloud account and click Reply or, if you're not an NC Public School educator, you can post using the Jamboard.

Professional Development for 2022 - 2023

The Professional Learning Booklet for 2022 - 2023 is available as a PDF or you can make your own Google copy to participate in this asynchronous learning opportunity, which can be completed throughout the school year.

Participants work at their own pace as they read the information, watch the videos, complete the activities, and submit a survey to receive a certificate of completion worth 10 contact hours.

More details are on the Professional Development page of the LF4NC Canvas Hub, and the first Apply & Reflect activity launched last week.

Classroom Materials: How Do I Learn?

The first LinguaFolio Biography component we're focusing on this year is, How Do I Learn? and it's available in 13 languages in both PDF and Word versions.

How Do I Learn? is a survey designed to help students reflect on nine aspects of learning in general and language learning in particular:

• Organizing Work
• Learning Vocabulary
• Improving Pronunciation
• Developing and Evaluating Listening Skills
• Reading for Understanding
• Editing and Proofreading Writing
• Acquiring Structural Accuracy
• Communicating in the Target Language
• Recognizing the Unique Circumstances of Language Learning

Go to the Classroom Materials page of the LF4NC Canvas Hub to find links for English as a Second Language (ESL) and World Languages teachers that will take you to where you can download the LinguaFolio Biography components in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Hmong, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, Urdu, and Vietnamese - and in the format that works best for you and your students!
