Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to offer both Applying Technology in the Foreign Language
Classroom and Applying Technology in the ESL Classroom this summer. Offered
entirely online, they are designed in an intensive format that compacts the
normal course duration into a shorter, 8-week format. The courses begin on June
18 and end on August 11.
The courses are largely pedagogy-driven; their focus is on the application of
technology in order to meet instructional and professional development
objectives. Their purpose is not to train participants to use specific
applications or technologies; rather, to interact as a cohort and to examine
language teaching pedagogies and the means by which educational technology can
support their effective application and integration. Participants will read
scholarly articles, interact on online discussion boards, build a repository of
websites and other resources, examine the evolution of language learning
pedagogies, and create a final project that integrates technology into a lesson
or unit and demonstrates a transformational effect of that integration on the
lesson or unit. The coursework in both courses is linked to Maryland State
Department of Education standards as well as professional standards such as
those of ACTFL and Goucher's own standards for graduate students.
The courses are open to non-matriculating students; in other words, teachers and
professionals who wish to take a course or two but who are not seeking a degree
from us at this time. Our courses are fully accredited and transferable to
other institutions, and satisfy professional development requirements in
Maryland.
Note that the courses are designed to be broadly applicable, to participants in
K-16+.
Please take a moment to look at the links below.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at

Best,
Jeff
