Channel: NYS World Languages
Date: 26/02/2022

Increasing control of grammatical structures is essential to language proficiency development.  Participants will first discover how proficiency descriptors for checkpoint proficiency targets and the language functions embedded in each of the NYS Learning Standards for World Languages help teachers identify which language structures to include in thematic unit design and implementation.  Participants will then explore strategies that draw on both implicit and explicit approaches to help learners develop increasing control of grammatical structures.
