ACTFL is expanding its team of presenters by supporting and mentoring our third cohort of Facilitators-in-Training (适合). From the many who responded to the open invitation to join ACTFL as a workshop presenter, ACTFL选择了五位教育工作者进入这个演讲管道. They bring diverse perspectives and backgrounds in the levels (K-16) and languages (法国, 普通话, 西班牙语)教. The FITs now begin their individual journeys through several stages: shadowing ACTFL presenters (joining in scheduled workshops and helping with small group/breakout room discussions), 与经验丰富的ACTFL辅导员进行个性化辅导, 联合主持ACTFL工作坊(有导师反馈), and leading workshops during an initial period supported with a mentor. The process focuses on deepening each presenter’s content background, 促进策略, 通过与导师的合作提高演讲技巧, 与FIT小组建立联系, 以及个人反思. Please join us in congratulating our five new FITs and be on the lookout for our next call for applications in November/December 2024!
