Re-imagining learning in the 21st century
The MacArthur foundation is investing$ 85 million to explore how digital media are changing the way young people learn, play, socialize and participate in civic life

Attend to opportunities and risks associated with digital participation

Major world events influence language education policy
U.s. has no national language policy
Low students enrollment in world language classes
Few policies promote language learning
But interest from business, government
Purpose: explore how language ideology shapes thae decisions of policy actors during the creation and implementation of language
Primary data: interviews
Federal, state, local
Secondary data: Federal, state, and local policy documents
Congressional hearings, organized meetings, conference presentations, reports
Interpretive policy analysis (yanow, 2000)
Thematic narrative analysis (reissman, 2008)
Who are the actors
Why should world language be taught
What national authority is responsible for implementation and funding of WL ed policy
What is the State….
Why should be taught
Language learning is necessary for national security purposes
Language learning is a necessary 21st century skill
Language learning has cognate benefits
Disconnection, National tension
EJN interview, State as a bridge, Local buy-in
Understanding of world language education and EL education
Expectations, Assessment, Gate keepers to success, Divergent ideologies
Greater language awareness is needed
Data from school, not data in school
Summative data/Formative data
Sweet spot, Soft data, Kidread
Social language/ academic language
How to connect idea, not only spelling
圆桌会议之后讨论
Relationships, systems, and complexity
How can we incorporate variation-diversity, rhythms, and non-linear coupling into our teaching?
As teachers, how can we “SEE” students as relationship?
How do you promote “good” relationship in classrooms?
Survey students’ technology skills
Planning, thinking…is that the students’ problem or the faculty’s problem?
Combining reading with other language processes: Use every opportunity to bring r/w/talking/listening together so that each feeds off and feeds in the other
Focus on using reading as a tool for learning
Make reading functional and make the purposeful assignment
Develop positive self-perception and expectations
1. Reflection and Teacher Education: Too much of a good thing? (University of New Mexico)
Intent of the Study: to examine the ways for cooperating teachers to engage in reflection. (notes: it is used as Teacher education, also state mandated for pay increases)
Reflective thinking: turning a subject over in the mind and giving it serious and consecutive consideration
Collegial Reflection: Collaboration with peers (teacher prefer both personal, individual reflection and conversational reflection with groups of teachers) Planning; Mentoring
Personal Reflection:
Typically use: observation, writing/note-taking/ informal discussion/review students’ work
Another layer to that, which might be sticky
How to form the reflection
It’s very often people would not that open, and only write something like “How I fixed this, this…”
Contribution: those of us who value and support reflective practice may partner to create structures that support authentic, meaningful, and organized reflection.
(NOTEs: New Mexico only requires teacher taking 30 hrs in college and 12 hr training in the field to get teacher certificate, and BA is not even required)
