Exhibitor Workshop 
Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center 
Room: Exhibitor Workshop Room #5 
The richer the contexts in which language is introduced, the more meaningful the communication—and the more likely the learning is to stick. Explore how native-speaker videos, leveled current events, music, exploratory videos, and readers can spark curiosity and become catalysts for communication. Through practical classroom examples, discover ways to turn memorable cultural contexts into interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational experiences that increase target-language use, build intercultural competence, and strengthen proficiency.
