Making a Conference
A conference doesn’t just happen. It is the result of hundreds
of people working together for hours...days...months...over a
year! Anyone who has helped plan a large conference knows
the behind-the-scenes work involved.

The Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (CSCTFL) and the Foreign Language Association of
Missouri (FLAM) are pleased to welcome you to St. Louis and its historic downtown area. Not since 1983 has CSCTFL been
held on this side of the state and FLAM is happy to host the 2014 CSCTFL/FLAM Conference in our great city. CSCTFL
couldn’t have picked a better year since we are celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of St. Louis. Right in the
heart of downtown there is much to see and do if you’re looking for cultural attractions. The Arch and city court house,
Laclede Landing, Anheuser-Busch Brewery, and the Cardinals Stadium and Hall of Fame are just some of the sites near
the Hilton at the Ballpark Hotel. For the more adventuresome and mobile folks, historic St. Charles complete with shops,
eateries, and Lewis and Clark Museum are just minutes from downtown St. Louis. If you are into antiques, then Historic
Cherokee Antique Row might be more your thing located a short drive from downtown. Maybe you would rather try to find
some of the 250 birthday cakes placed at locations of importance unveiled at the February 14th birthday celebration weekend.
Although there is much to see in and around St. Louis, this year’s conference will provide some of the most innovative and
interesting professional development for teachers at every level to improve their teaching experience. German and French
roots run thick in this area. On Friday evening on site, our local AATF group will be putting on a marionette show to
commemorate the 250th anniversary in St. Louis and there will be a Justo Lamas concert. Also on Friday evening, AATG will
host a German concert off site. We are happy that you have chosen CSCTFL 2014 to be the cornerstone of your professional
development and renew connections that are so very important in our profession. St. Louis will certainly be the key to
“Unlock the Gateway to Communication.” Enjoy your stay!

46th Annual Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages
Unlock the Gateway to Communication
Julie Jezuit, 2014 Program Chair
Welcome from the Program Chair
Unlock the Gateway to Communication
Welcome to the 46th annual CSCTFL Conference in St. Louis, Missouri! Here we find the famous Gateway Arch and the city known as
the “gateway to the west.” While St. Louis is home of the Gateway Arch, world language teachers help their students “unlock a gateway to
communication” on a daily basis. As language teachers, we enable our students to be able to communicate with people they previously
could not communicate with due to a language barrier. Besides oral and written communication, we also “unlock” communication
through a deeper understanding of a particular culture. Whether it be non-verbal communication such as gestures, an understanding
of traditions, and holidays—the products and perspectives of a culture. The CSCTFL conference provides an opportunity for world
language educators from a 17-state region to communicate with each other. The CSCTFL conference allows world language educators to
come together and open up a line of communication and share ideas which help each other grow professionally.
Thank you for joining us at the 2014 Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, as we share our experience and
expertise with new colleagues and long-time friends. I encourage you to further connect to other disciplines and cultures through the
exceptional offering of more than 185 sessions, 28 workshops, and a great selection of multi-language events for teachers. Be prepared
to be renewed, rejuvenated, and motivated to make connections with students, and other teachers, departments, schools, and cultures.
Special Events on Thursday, March 20, 2014
ØThe Conference Workshop/Extension Workshop (CW/EW) provides professional development outreach. Participants apply
in advance and will be trained in the Conference Workshop (CW) on this year’s topic, “Keeping It in the Target Language,”
presented by Aleidine J. Moeller of the University of Nebraska and Amy Roberts and Katie Hayes of Pius High School, Lincoln,
Nebraska. Then the participants will prepare to present this topic at state and local workshops and conferences (EW) during the
following year.
ØWorkshops: Both half- and full-day workshops are offered covering various topics such as teaching in the target language,
technology, common core state standards, assessment, and so much more. If you are not pre-registered, please visit the
registration desk and inquire about space availability.
ØThe Delegate Assembly provides leaders in the various state organizations the opportunity to network, discuss policies,
procedures, and challenges and learn about the current status of world language education in our 17-state region and throughout
the nation. State organizations are asked to send representatives to this afternoon event. We welcome those delegates to this 1:30
PM event on Thursday.
ØWelcome to CSCTFL Advisory Council members! Please join us in Ballpark Conference Center 1 and 2 for the Advisory
Council Reception at 5:00 PM Thursday, followed by the Advisory Council Meeting at 6 PM.
ØThe Exhibit Hall Opening and Wine and Cheese Gala provides a first peek at the exhibits and the first chance to visit with
vendors. This is also a fantastic opportunity to connect with colleagues from around the region, make new connections, and
explore the exhibit hall in a leisurely environment. Please join us in the Arch View Ballroom from 7 PM- 9 PM on Thursday.
Special Events on Friday, March 21, 2014
ØThe Exhibit Hall will be open all day from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. There are designated breaks to visit with exhibitors; however,
you may want to spend time there during your lunch break or between sessions as well. Several exhibitors are presenting sessions
throughout the day on Friday and Saturday.
ØThe Awards Ceremony will honor the 2014 Teacher of the Year and the other CSCTFL Teacher of the Year candidates and
the recipients of the Paul Simon Award, the Founders Award, and the CSCTFL Scholarships. The FLAM Awards will also be
presented. Please join us in Grand Ballrooms A-D at 9:15 AM.
ØThe Keynote address, immediately following the Awards Ceremony, will be delivered by Dr. Brandon Wiley, Executive Director
of the International Studies Schools Network for the Asia Society, who will inspire attendees with his speech about creating
globally competent students.
ØThe CSCTFL Report Authors’ Luncheon honors presenters whose articles are published in the 2014 CSCTFL Report.
ØFriday evening language receptions provide another opportunity to meet colleagues in specific language groups in a relaxing,
social atmosphere. Some gatherings have a program, and others are quite informal.
Special Events on Saturday, March 22, 2014
ØThe NNELL Networking Breakfast highlights elementary ideas and resources. Be prepared to share an idea. This is a ticketed
event. Ask about space availability at the registration desk if you are not pre-registered.

ØAt the NADSFL/NCSSFL Luncheon, district and state world language supervisors meet to enjoy lunch and network. If you are
a district supervisor, world language department chair, or state supervisor and you don’t know about these two groups, this is
a great way to get acquainted with them while enjoying a nice lunch. This is a ticketed event. Ask about space availability at the
registration desk if you are not pre-registered.
ØOur Saturday session offerings are packed every hour to maximize opportunities for those who have difficulties joining CSCTFL
on weekdays.
Special Events throughout the conference
ØThe 2013 CSCTFL sessions and workshops that were designated as “ALL STAR” sessions for their outstanding quality and
execution will be returning for the 2014 CSCTFL Conference.
Ø9 of our 17 Central States will be presenting a presentation or workshop that their state organizations have designated as “Best
of ” sessions. We hope you are able to glean some great knowledge from a different state!
ØThere are 28 great workshops available to attendees. Please see the workshop descriptions and get excited to attend one or more
of these outstanding offerings throughout the conference. Ask about space availability at the registration desk if you are not preregistered.
The 2014 Central States Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, the friendly conference, welcomes you and your colleagues.
We have an outstanding program designed to help you “unlock the gateway to communication” with other teachers and your students.
We invite you to take full advantage of all the opportunities at the conference and share your experience with your colleagues and students

Presider: Darlene Lankenau, IFLTA, Fort Wayne, IN
Learn guiding principles for designing standards-based curriculum,
units, and lessons focused on developing learners’ language performance.
Consider how the National Standards, 21st Century Skills, and Common
Core guide the development of a vertically aligned curriculum that
builds students’ communication skills and cultural understandings.
Participants explore thematic unit design and daily lesson planning with
strategies that maximize student learning in support of curricular goals,
with indicators of performance expected at each level of instruction.
Our national standards set a goal that at least 90% of instruction be
given in the target language. This can be done by establishing routines
on Day 1, using prior knowledge, scaffolding activities, and carefully
crafting comprehensible input. Borrow from a “mature” teacher’s
bag of tricks to build your confidence. The presenter will help you
justify this practice to doubting students, parents, or administrators.

They Call ‘Em Games
Presenters: Lucas D. Hoffman, Sylvania Southview High School, Sylvania,

Say “Let’s learn” and students say “boring.” Say “Let’s play a game”
and they are motivated to participate. Create and play games that
encourage students to talk. Learn how to convert commercial
games into pair, small group and whole-class activities. Make
some of the presenters’ own ideas and learn how to assess students’
interpersonal, interpretive and presentational skills. Throw away the
stickers, candy and extra points! All activities have been kid-tested!

Presenter: Lisa Lilley, 2010 ACTFL Teacher of the Year, Central HS/Pipkin
MS, Springfield, MO
Presider: Anneris Coria-Navia, Antioch College, Yellow Springs, OH
We know motivation is key to learning a language. But is the homework we
assign motivating to our students? Do our grading policies encourage or
discourage them? How can we give good feedback when we're burdened
with a heavy teaching load? This session will delve into these tough issues
and offer different research based perspectives on homework, grading, and
multiple ways of providing feedback that work for students and the teacher.

Keeping it in the Target Language
Presenters: Aleidine J. Moeller, University of Nebraska, Amy Roberts & Katie Hayes, Pius High School, Lincoln Nebraska
There is much debate about the use of the target language and first language in the world language classroom. How much target
language will maximize language development? When should the first language be used and how often? Studies have reported higher
language proficiency for students in addition to higher intrinsic motivation for learning a foreign language, lower attrition and greater
appreciation of language learning when target language use is standard classroom practice. Classroom strategies and examples designed
to optimize and expand target language use in the classroom will be described and illustrated. Classroom teachers who use target
language exclusively in the classroom will share best practices while involving participants actively in learning tasks and strategies.
Building on language acquisition research and theory, principles and guidelines for integration of the target language will be
demonstrated via hands-on tasks and classroom videos. Participants will share their best strategies and develop a plan for a professional
development presentation or workshop to be presented in their respective schools, school districts and professional organizations.

Participants apply in advance to attend this daylong workshop. Each year approximately twenty-five participants are selected to
attend the Conference Workshop (CW) on Thursday during the annual meeting of Central States. Here they receive information
and materials about recent trends in foreign language teaching. Participants are then asked to conduct a similar Extension
Workshop (EW) in their local area in order to bring the Conference and its new and evolving ideas to a greater number of teachers.
The CW is the training session during which participants learn to conduct their own workshops. Participants receive a set of
materials from each of the presenters, giving them the content information that they can use for their own EWs. They also
receive guidelines and ideas for organizing, publicizing, and presenting a workshop. The emphasis in the CW is on the practical
application of the new ideas for the classroom. At the end of the six-hour CW, participants are ready to conduct one or more EWs
for foreign language educators in their own states. They can adjust the format, time frame, and material selection for their needs.
The ultimate goal of the CW/EW Program is to improve the quality of foreign language instruction by providing up-to-date information
to teachers unable to attend the Central States Conference. The CW/EW program offers participants the opportunity to learn how to
organize and present a workshop, to meet other foreign language educators throughout the CSCTFL region, to strengthen ties with
teachers in their local area, and to serve as resource people in their foreign language community. Once participants have attended
the CW training, presented their own EW(s), and filed a brief report, they will receive a small honorarium to help cover expenses.
The Extension Workshop is open only to those whose proposals have been submitted and accepted.

Individualized Language Learning Plans: How Students Can
Take Ownership of Their Learning
Presenter: Anneris B. Coria-Navia, Antioch College, Yellow Springs, OH
Individualized Learning Plans are used as a tool that seeks to incorporate
the students’ long-term goals within the curricular framework. The
application of this tool in the language classroom stems from the
assumption that the needs of individual students are different and must
be addressed accordingly. There is growing evidence that learning can
be improved when students actively participate in articulating goals and
strategies to achieve those goals. This session will explain the concept and
use of individualized language plans within a proficiency based program.

Women’s Power! French Colonial Women in Early St. Louis
Presenters: Anne Gray-Le Coz, Villa Duchesne/Oak Hill School, St. Louis, MO
and Anna Amelung, AATF Greater St. Louis Chapter President, St. Louis,

On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the founding of St. Louis we will
explore the role of women during French colonial times by analyzing their
cultural and ethnic diversity seeking to understand their extraordinary lives
and contributions. By using puppets we will reenact the life of Madame
Chouteau, her Indian slave Thérèse, the black free woman Jeannette, and
Mother Philippine Duchesne. Suggestions will be made on how to use this
pedagogical material at all levels.

Make the Most of It: Learning Abroad Through Immersion
Presenters: Francesca Muccini and Regine Schwarzmeier, Belmont University,
Nashville, TN
Study Abroad programs offer extraordinary learning experiences, but often
students resist from immersing themselves in the new culture. How could
teachers efficaciously prepare their students to interact with people who speak
other languages? We want to discuss and provide examples on how learning a
foreign language can be a joyful, culturally enriching, and linguistically fruitful
experience for students. Particular attention would be given to activities to do
during Study Abroad Programs.
