Proficiency-based Instruction without Ditching the Textbook

Dr. Henshaw will address fundamental principles of proficiency-based instruction and instructional planning around communicative goals as well as key aspects of proficiency-based lessons for each of the three communication modes: interpretive, presentational, and interpersonal. She will share tips for scaffolding output, with a special focus on transforming traditional textbook activities typically found in textbooks into meaningful and purposeful tasks that foster communicative ability.
