Working with participants, Chan will explore a thematic unit he has created for and uses with his students in order to discuss curricular goals, performance-based assessments and best practices for teaching and learning Italian at the intermediate-high level of proficiency.

Topics covered will include capitalizing on students’ interest as a driving force in course design; selecting authentic materials for didactic purposes; aligning interpretative activities to Common Core Learning Standards; incorporating critical thinking and creativity in interpersonal tasks; using formative assessments to improve students’ control of language structure; and utilizing aspects of problem-based learning with a contemporary Italian novel.
