ALL CONFERENCE INFORMATION
AND FORMS www.nectfl.org
Students of Spanish and French enjoying a visit to the Fuentidueña Chapel at the Cloisters, a gift from the
Government of Spain to the United States
It may surprise you to learn that the image above is not one of Europe, but of a
group of Spanish and French students at the Cloisters in New York City.
The Cloisters, of course, is a collection of five medieval abbeys, disassembled stoneby-stone and brought to New York from southern France and northern Spain, and
reconstructed in a park on a hill overlooking the Hudson River in the 1930s. The
Fuentidueña Chapel (above) was a gift from the Government of Spain to the United
States and it is one of the most European settings anywhere on the Continent
If the concept of a domestic Spanish trip seems novel to you, VISIT CANADA is
North America’s leading operator of domestic educational tours for students
of foreign languages, and has given literally tens of thousands of language
students their first real-world introductions to the history, culture, people and
languages of the French- and Spanish-speaking worlds on domestic educational field
trips to Montréal, Québec City, and eventually to New York City and Chicago over the
past 25 years.
We know the needs and interests of language teachers and their students as well or
better than anyone, and we honestly believe that our domestic foreign language trips
are the very best available anywhere.
For further information, we invite you to attend our NYSAFLT Conference
workshop on Friday from 2:00 to 3:15pm in the "City Center A" room; the
workshop will focus on our Spanish trips to New York City (with a side of French trips
to Québec). Or please visit our web site, www.visitcanada.com, or call us at
800.456.5552.
We look forward to speaking with you.

NYSAFLT Webinar Series
2012-2013
NYSAFLT webinars are a great way to stay current on the latest topics and trends in the profession,
all from the comfort of your own home or classroom! Webinars can be viewed live or “on demand”
and are a great tool for department meetings. Visit http://www.nysaflt.org/webinars/ for details!
October 25 -- 4:00pm (1 hour) "Digital Portfolios for World Language Students K-16"
with Nathan Lutz
This era of accountability reporting, program evaluation, and debate over student achievement
is the driving force behind an emerging form of student assessment. Portfolios are purposeful
collections of student work representing an array of performance that can be assessed by the
students themselves, their teachers, school officials, and even parents. Although this concept
isn't novel by any means, the advent of digital portfolios makes it possible to include more and
varied types of works. With digital portfolios, students can create dossiers that travel with them
throughout their educational careers. Writing samples, photos, art, voice and video recordings
are some of the items students may chose for their digital portfolios. In this presentation, teachers will learn of
some of the platforms that can be used to create digital portfolios for their students' work. There will be examples
of student work, rubrics for teacher evaluation, and rubrics for students’ self-reflection.
This webinar will briefly detail the rationale behind the use of student portfolios. Participants will see an overview
of a few platforms for digital portfolios. Portfolio entries will be in the form of writing, art, video and voice
recordings. Participants will receive sample rubrics for teacher evaluation of the work as well as rubrics for
students to be self-reflective of their work. There will also be handouts detailing directions for setting up the
digital portfolios, some of the platforms that can be used, and hyperlinks to some of my students’ digital
portfolios.
November 1 -- 4:00pm (1 hour) “Designing Performance Assessments in the
Communicative Modes”
with Jennifer Eddy, Ph.D.
This webinar guides teachers on the design of performance assessment tasks. Using the
three modes of communication aligned with the NYS Syllabus topics, we will design a
thematic trio of tasks that show what learners can do. Participants will learn how to
develop tasks in the Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational Modes, use culturally
authentic material, turn around a task for transfer, and plan backward from performance goals. These tasks foster
key behaviors indicated in the Common Core and the Framework for 21st Century Skills. See how performance
assessment develops critical thinking, engages flexibility, and encourages a self-directed learner.
December 6 -- 4:00pm (1 hour) “Aligning LOTE to the Common Core Follow-Up”
with Nancy Ketz
Nancy first addressed LOTE and the Common Core Standards in a March 2012 webinar. To
continue the discussion, she will present 1) a review of the Common Core for Literacy Key
Ideas, 2) a menu of potential module components, and 3) a step-by-step demonstration of the
creation of a sample module for French, applicable to all languages. Participants are invited to
address the Common Core Standards by creatively combining the module components.
NYSAFLT Webinar Series
2012-2013
January 10 -- 4:00pm (1 hour) “Performance Assessment"
with Vicki Mike, Ed.D.
The focus of this webinar will be assessments that integrate listening, reading, writing, speaking,
as well as some technology, in the foreign language classroom in order to better prepare students
for examinations at Checkpoints B and C and for the Advanced Placement. Participants will be
provided with a balance of formative and summative assessments that measure student
performance in meaningful contexts that integrate all four skills. Participants will be provided with sample
assessments and rubrics.
February 7 -- 4:00pm (1 hour) “FLES and the Common Core”
with Marissa Coulehan & Harriet Barnett
Where does FLES belong on the Common Core spectrum? How can we adjust FLES
curricula to meet the new Common Core Learning Standards while still maintaining
our primary communication goals? What will happen to the focus of communication?
Will the new focus on reading and writing change our commitment to aural/oral
communication in FLES? These questions and more will be answered in this webinar!
March 7 -- 4:00pm (1 hour) “Advocacy: An Everyday Occurrence”
with Francesco L. Fratto
The need for advocacy is greater now than in the past. Are teachers truly prepared to be advocates
for their profession? Was there a college course that was offered that specifically dealt with this
very topic? If not, join the webinar and learn how to be an advocate for your program. Tips will
be shared on how best to promote the accomplishments of your department/students via a
website, Twitter or through the press.
A Bonus March Webinar!
March 14 -- 4:00pm (1 hour) “Literacy Strategies for the 21st Century LOTE Teacher”
with Al Martino
Literacy instruction has been propelled into the forefront of LOTE instruction in recent years.
First, the Partnership for 21st Century has clearly stated the need for people with excellent
literacy skills in our global society. More recently, the National Core Curriculum for ELA has
indirectly pushed literacy instruction to the fore - both in terms of the demands being made on
readers today and the skills classroom teachers need to have in order to teach reading.
How do WE as LOTE teachers get the most out of our reading instruction in the classroom? How much is too
much? What are the best strategies? What genres should be used? And, how does all of this fit into
communicative language teaching? The presenter will address these questions, as well as address ELA/ESL
strategies that can benefit students of LOTE.
Past webinars are available “on demand” at
http://www.nysaflt.org/webinars. Group rates are
available for department professional development!

NYSAFLT Award Histories
The Sister Rose Aquin Caimano Distinguished Administrator Award was named in honor of a former President of
NYSAFLT who embodied all of the characteristics of a distinguished administrator. A teacher of Spanish at the
Dominican College in Blauvelt, New York, she was a respected and well-loved leader as well as a delightful and brilliant
person. The first Sister Rose Aquin Caimano Distinguished Administrator Award was presented in 1971 to Sister Natalie
Casey of Blauvelt College.
The Ferdinand DiBartolo NYS Distinguished Foreign Language Leadership Award is presented annually to the
President of NYSAFLT in recognition of his/her dedication and service to our organization and to the profession.
Ferdinand DiBartolo was a pioneer in the establishment of what was then called “The New York State Federation of
Foreign Language Teachers.” He was a foreign language leader and an officer of the federation. In l967, he received the
"50th Anniversary Award" of our organization. He was at the forefront of the effort of our organization to ensure the
continuance of the Modern Language Journal when ACTFL was formed. The first recipient of this award was Joseph A.
Tursi, in 1973.
The Sally G. Hahn Award was established in 2007. A long-time member of NYSAFLT and supporter of FLES
programs, Sally G. Hahn felt so strongly about the benefits of early language instruction that she made it possible for
NYSAFLT to give an annual award of up to $1000 to an outstanding FLES program in New York.
The Dorothy Ludwig Memorial Award was named after the wife of Robert J. Ludwig, former Executive Director of
NYSAFLT. Dorothy Ludwig was a math teacher and guidance counselor who was an enthusiastic supporter of foreign
language education. For twenty-three years, she tirelessly devoted her time to assisting NYSAFLT in numerous ways.
This award was created in her memory in 1986 to honor those who have followed in her path. The first Dorothy Ludwig
Memorial Award was presented in 1988 to Peter Hughes of the Edison Technical and Occupational Center in Rochester, NY.
The Anthony J. Papalia Award is given annually to a NYSAFLT member who has published an outstanding article in a
state or national foreign language education publication. This award memorializes a distinguished past president of
NYSAFLT whose writings have had a great influence in both New York State and in the nation for their contribution to
research and practice in the foreign language field. Dr. Papalia is also honored by an ACTFL award given by NYSAFLT
in his memory for his contribution to teacher training. Anthony Papalia was President of NYSAFLT in 1983.
The President’s Award is presented annually to an individual or individuals whom the President of NYSAFLT wishes
to recognize for outstanding and continuous service to NYSAFLT and to the foreign language community.
The Senator Paul Simon Friend of Foreign Language Award is given to a person who is not a teacher of a foreign
language, but who has been a champion of our cause. This award title was altered in 2004 to include one of our greatest
supporters, the late Senator Paul Simon.
The Ruth E. Wasley Distinguished Teacher Award was named after a former secretary of NYSAFLT and a professor
and teacher/trainer of foreign language methodology at SUNY Albany. Extremely innovative and creative, and known
for her sense of humor, Dr. Wasley was a methodologist par excellence and an outstanding role model for her students.
In 1969, Dorothy Rivers Shoudy was the first recipient of the Ruth E. Wasley Distinguished Teacher Award.
The Robert J. Ludwig Distinguished Leadership Award is presented to a keynote speaker who has been recognized
nationally as a leader in our profession. The first National Distinguished Leadership Award was presented to Nelson
Brooks of Yale University in 1969. This award is named after Robert J. Ludwig, President of NYSAFLT 1963-1969,
later Administrative Assistant and finally Executive Director through 2003.
As the name suggests, the NYSAFLT Culture through the Arts Award honors a person who has spread the message of
language and culture through the arts. The first Culture through the Arts Award was presented in 1967 to George
Balanchine.
The Outstanding Journalist/Media Presenter Award is presented to a journalist or media presenter who has done an
exceptional job showcasing the cause of foreign language teaching and/or learning. NYSAFLT is extremely grateful to
those in the media who understand the importance of foreign language education, and take on the daunting task of
bringing this message to the public.
The Remunda Cadoux Leadership in Foreign Language Supervision Award was named for Remunda Cadoux,
Chairperson of the Foreign Language Department at Christopher Columbus High School in New York City and a former
member of the NYSAFLT Board of Directors. Author of one of the early State syllabi for foreign language education,
she was the first woman to pass the eligibility examination for Director of Foreign Languages in New York City. The
first Remunda Cadoux Award for Leadership in Foreign Language Supervision was presented in 1985 to Robert J.
Ludwig.

# 1 Linguafolio: Proficiency Based
Formative Assessment
Room: Broadway 2
LINGUAFOLIO is a self-assessment system based
on the three ACTFL communication modes which
can also be linked to the NYS Syllabus: Modern
Languages for Communication. This system supports learners as they set and manage their own
linguistic goals. By documenting these goals, Linguafolio can be used to enhance and support
language learning and provide a seamless transition
from one level to the next.
Organizer/Presenter(s):
Albert T. Martino, Jr., College of St. Rose
# 3 Radical Reading Creates Successful
Students
Room: Broadway 1
The purpose of communication is to put a picture or
a feeling in the mind and heart of another. Through
language instruction, we provide students with the
structures and skills to understand that communication. Reading can not only be a way to
understand the thoughts and feelings of others; it
can also be a way to increase the amount and kind
of language available to our students. This workshop will give teachers a number of activities and
ideas designed to generate interest in reading, and
create an atmosphere of success in order to develop
students' skills. Teachers will look at ways to find,
choose and create materials, develop successful
activities using any type of literature, and evaluate
student progress.

Circling is a repetitive yet engaging questioning
technique used to deliver comprehensible input to

during any lesson in any classroom. After attending
this session, you will be able to start using this
effective skill in your classroom on Monday. Using
circling, a teacher's goal is to repeat a structure or
vocabulary item in such a way that students are
focusing on the content of the question rather than
its structure. They hear the item over and over so
that it will simply sound right to them. In turn, the
students acquire the item and eventually are able to
use it without thinking. It is especially effective
when introducing new material.

Differentiating Learning in the
Secondary Spanish Classroom
Exhibitor
Room: Saratoga 2
Differentiated instruction is an approach to teaching
essential content in ways that address the varied
needs of students with the goal of maximizing the
learning possibilities. In the secondary Spanish
classroom, teachers must differentiate not only by
language proficiency, but also by other factors, such
as each student's functional grade level, academic
background, and socio-cultural and ethnic variables.
This session will utilize the research and principles
of instructional differentiation, as presented in the
work of Carol Ann Tomlinson. Examples of
Español Santillana’s instructional materials and
technology will be used to demonstrate how this
methodological framework can effectively support a

Utilizing a SMART Board to Engage
Students
Room: Travers
Is your SMART Board sitting idle in your room? I
use mine every day with my junior high Spanish
classes and my students love it. I will show you
ways to tailor your lessons to their interests with a
wide variety of interactive activities using the
SMART Board. I will also demonstrate how I differentiate content, which guarantees that each student leaves my classroom having been able to
answer questions and be an active participant in the
class. Using current, real life examples is easy with
a SMART Board. This workshop will give you ideas about how to incorporate them into your lessons.

What is Your LOTE Carbon Footprint?
Room: Broadway 4
How can we, as foreign language teachers,
incorporate a stronger focus on meaning/content
into the foreign language classroom? How can we
create a balance between language and content
which pushes students' second language acquisition
so that they are not only learning about the
