Description: What is the CAST?
The CAST is an online oral proficiency assessment designed to measure oral
performance in a variety of languages at the intermediate and advanced levels. Feedback
is aligned with ACTFL and ILR oral proficiency guidelines. Feedback on the CAST test
is intended to provide the test taker with an informal, advisory estimate of likely
performance on an official ACTFL or ILR Oral Proficiency Interview. During this
presentation, attendees will be familiarized with the test for both Portuguese and Spanish
languages and examples in both languages will be discussed.
Presenters: Trevor Shanklin, LARC at SDSU; Cassia De Abreu, Department of Spanish
and Portuguese at SDSU.

Movenote
Description: In this workshop we will explore two web-based resources for transforming
still digital images to interactive, animated, and media-rich stories - ThingLink and
Movenote. The workshop will include: 1) a brief introduction to, and examples of, the
two aforementioned tools, 2) a step-by-step demonstration of how to create, publish, and
share a photo story, and 3) a hands-on activity where participants will use pictures to
create a sample digital story. Participants are encouraged to participate and share their
mini-projects, and discuss possible activities using these online resources.

3. 11:15- 12:00 PM: Using Technology to Create Adapted and Semi-Authentic Classroom
Materials
Description: Language instructors often struggle to select level-appropriate authentic
language materials. This is particularly the case of teachers of less commonly taught
languages, who may not have a great variety of such materials available to them. In this
session, we will show how instructors can choose, adapt, and create these types of
resources.
Presenter(s): François Vanleene; Nadezda Novakovic, LARC at SDSU.
1. 12:00- 12:30 PM: COURSE KEY
Description: This presentation is focused on introducing the concept of digital literacy
and challenging educators at all levels of education to take steps toward digital
citizenship. (We will be using the CourseKey platform on the tablets provided and using
some of the core features throughout the demonstration). We will be giving a free copy of
our new e-book to the attendees (we will need an email list of the attendees) which will
have more in-depth background and information about the topics we could potentially
discuss.
· These topics are all featured on our website and I would like to hear your thoughts on
which would be most relevant to the K-12 audience we will be presenting to.
The following are potential topics of discussion: digital literacy and classroom integrity,
understanding front and back-end classroom facilitation, mobile-enabled students and
social learning, formative assessments and real-time results, providing answers to
questions, connecting with students, attendance and student success, creating engagement
in the classroom.
Presenter(s): Cecília Vanshur; Ryan Vanshur, International Business Program, SDSU’s
Zahn Innovation Center.
