Workshop Description and Dates
Join the free learning and networking sessions for language teachers new to the profession or interested in trying new ways to teach their students! The session topics will include current language teaching approaches and guiding principles, practical strategies to move students up to the next proficiency level, and resources to teach world languages at Hawaiʻi schools.
The sessions are organized by HALT to build a supportive and connected community of World Languages teachers across the state of Hawaiʻi. By doing so, our students will have dynamic and engaging language learning experiences that prioritize language proficiency, target language use, and global competency while being centered in our local Hawaiʻi context.
