Presentation
Abstract
The Pathways Project, an initiative from the Department of World Languages at Boise State University, is an open and collaborative network of 600+ “classroom-ready” instructional materials and professional development created by and uniquely for Idaho’s K-16 language teachers and students (and beyond!) In this presentation, we will walk you through how to access and download our free language teaching materials. In addition, we’ll showcase a selection of student-created materials and discuss how upper-division students are developing and sharing their own original materials for language instruction, promoting recruitment and retention amongst language students.
