Announcing the launch of Teleplazaa new platform for heritage Spanish language telecollaboration! Teleplaza connects college classes from different communities with diverse experiences, encouraging students to learn together and from one another. Sign up for Teleplaza today and find a partner for your next telecollaboration! Teleplaza is an online platform that connects instructors of heritage Spanish and/or Latinx Studies courses across the US. You can post a telecollaborat...ive project and find a partner for it, or respond to a call for partnership already posted on the portal. Projects may range from short-term collaborations to semester-long partnerships, and can be set up using synchronous or asynchronous communication technologies. These projects can be integrated into language or content courses to support a variety of learning objectives, such as proficiency development, literacy development, and/or the exploration of specific content. In one pilot project, Teleplaza connected Latinx students attending a community college on the East Coast with a heritage Spanish class at a private 4-year school on the West Coast. Participants discussed interpretations of the American Dream in the context of issues of unequal access to education. Another pilot connected Latinx students of Caribbean descent with Latinx students of Mexican descent, who together explored issues of language and identity. If you plan to be in Nashville for the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Convention and Expo, visit us at Booth 1333 and/or plan to attend a presentation on Teleplaza on Saturday, November 18 from 9:45 to 9:55 a.m. at our booth. #ACTFL17 Questions?
