·        InterCom has a weekly customizable email digest for language teachers, which is a free service from the Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS) at the University of Oregon. In each week's issue they re-disseminate tagged content from listservs, blogs, the media, and other resources; subscribers receive only content that matches their subscription preferences. Their goal is to keep busy teachers in touch with the latest thinking in our field with a minimum time investment on their part. Each week they include their own original content: a feature article (Topic of the Week) dealing with a monthly theme (September's theme is literacy and cross-curricular connections; October's will be assessment as a tool for learning), an activity that exemplifies or applies the content of the feature article, and a spotlight on something that at CASLS. The articles are intended to be short and easy for busy teachers to read and digest quickly. Please take a moment to subscribe to InterCom at http://caslsintercom.uoregon.edu .

This educator has demonstrated their global competence through the ability to develop or support the classroom teacher in developing their student's capacity and disposition to understand and act on issues of global significance while teaching the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. Attainment of the GEDB is not an endorsement on the educator license, rather it is a reflection of the focused professional development in alignment with the educator professional development plan or goals and strategies resulting in classroom, school, or district practice as demonstrated in the Capstone Project artifact.

Tech Tools

·        Voice Typing - Did you know that you can talk in Google Docs and ‘it’ will type what you say? You can choose many languages. Go to Tools. Choose ‘Voice Typing’. A grey mic comes up. You choose what language you want to speak in. Place your cursor in the location in the Google doc where you want ‘it’ to type… then talk. Amazing.

Globalize Your School

·        Post Signs in Multiple Languages around School Start simple. Get your students more acquainted with the multilingual nature of the U.S. by adding signs with multiple languages around the school. Hosting an upcoming event? Add the event translation in Hindi, Spanish, and Urdu. Create signage in various languages for spaces around your school like the cafeteria, auditorium, and classrooms. With few extra resources, students will learn new vocabulary in another language and gain exposure to scripts other than the Latin alphabet. This is also a great method to enable students with different native languages to feel welcomed and empowered at school.

·        Offer After-School Language Activities - Host language clubs where students can watch movies and TV shows or listen to stories and podcasts in a foreign language. Open up the school computer lab for students to study languages on free platforms like Duolingo or Coursera. Even if you don’t have the resources to start an Arabic club, a Chinese club, a German Club, etc. you can launch a general language club to expose students to different world languages.

·        Multicultural Field and Service Trips - Think about the multicultural nature of your own community: plan trips to ethnic restaurants and meet with the chef; start a conversation with diaspora organizations; host an international dinner for those who need a meal. If you have enough students learning a specific language (or have a group of students who already speak it), you could even organize volunteer projects for them to reach out to that specific language community.

·        Welcome Exchange Students from Other Countries – Consider connecting with high school exchange students. Exchange students can increase the language and cultural diversity in the classroom. These students are often ambassadors for their home country and their home language — and could bolster your efforts to increase inclusion of a language in your school.

·        Connect with Peace Corps Members -

·        Connect with an EPals teacher from Another Country –

·        Great “Day in  the Life” Project from iearn. Could be replicated in one classroom, one school or across UCPS, etc. Very suitable for Spanish 1 and Spanish 2 existing units.  https://iearn.org/cc/space-2/group-6/about

·        #globaledchat  Twitter Chat - Every Thursday at 8pm EST is #globaledchat. #globaledchat is a great way to connect with global educators and develop your Twitter network. Hope you can try out this Twitter Chat!
