JOSHUA CABRAL
| World Language Classroom

Session: CI Through Interpretive Reading ...


Then What?

“We have to understand what input is if we're doing it in a


comprehensible way.”- Joshua Cabral

Session Summary: In this session, Joshua Cabral discusses the use of


comprehensible input (CI) through reading materials, particularly novels and short

importance of both compelling input and compelling output in language learning,
stressing the role of providing language that is both understandable and interesting to
students. Cabral also addresses the assessment of proficiency levels in a
communicative CI classroom, advocating for assessing communication modes rather
than focusing solely on language accuracy. Throughout the presentation, he
emphasizes the subconscious nature of language acquisition and the need for students

2024 WORLD LANGUAGE TEACHER SUMMIT FOR SPANISH TEACHERS

Jared Romey
| 2024 World Language Teacher Summit Host and Founder of
Speaking Latino

Hi, I'm Jared! I’m the creator of SpeakingLatino.com, the author


of 12 books on Spanish dialects and slang, and a life-long
language learner.

My love of languages began with exposure to Mandarin as a small child and has continued
through immersion learning in Portuguese, years of German, fun experiences with Italian,
Esperanto and most recently learning Catalán. And of course my 25+ year journey with
Spanish. I also enjoy watching my small sons explore their languages. Just today as I write
this, I watched our younger son (he’s almost 4) quickly adjust when his online teacher did
an impromptu Catalán class, instead of Spanish! I had no idea how advanced his Catalán
is.

I started these WLTS conferences after hearing time after time that teachers had been
teaching for years (sometimes 15+ years) and never had access to language teaching
professional development. So, I decided to do something about that, which, in a few short
years, is now the largest online conference for world language teachers worldwide.

Learning languages absolutely changed my life and I want to help you share that same
opportunity with your students.

Allison Perryman
| 2024 Diversity In Action Series Host

Allison Perryman brings over 20 years of experience in Spanish


language education to her presentations. A passionate advocate
for diversity and inclusivity, Perryman emphasizes the importance
of confronting biases in the Spanish classroom. She is the mind
behind The Cultural Classroom and has been a dedicated participant in several World
Language Teacher Summit conferences.

Drawing from her personal experiences and upbringing in a Hispanic community, she
offers a unique perspective on transforming perspectives and cultivating culture in the
curriculum. Perryman's dynamic approach involves engaging students through authentic
materials, guest speakers, celebrations, and virtual trips, fostering an inclusive
environment. Her insights into confronting biases and promoting diversity resonate with
Spanish teachers seeking to create anti-bias classrooms.

With a particular focus on themes of diversity and inclusion, she observed that teachers
not only needed more support in these specific areas but also faced unique challenges in
finding authentic materials and workshops that could accommodate their busy schedules.
The World Language Teacher Summit is proudly sponsoring this Diversity In Action series,
recognizing the heightened importance of cross-cultural understanding and empathy in
today's world and their significant role in the World Language classroom.
