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.
