García February 1, 2019 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm Greene Hall 320 Incorporating Concept-Based Instruction to the Language Classroom through concrete tasks and strategies Concept-Based Instruction (CBI) is increasingly regarded as a fundamental construct in L2 learning and development (Lantolf & Poehner, 2014). Framed within a Vygotskian sociocultural perspective, CBI is a pedagogical approach where learners actively interact with concepts in a significant, coherent, and systematic manner, and where the materialization, manipulation, and transformation of their conceptual understandings are essential to effectively promote L2 learning and development. This talk will frame CBI theoretically, while also outlining concrete, practical applications that language instructors can incorporate into their teaching. Participants in this session will receive authentic instructional resources as well as templates to successfully implement CBI in the language classroom. Additionally, this session will explore the affordances and constraints of bringing this approach into a pedagogical environment while employing the most productive tools, digital and otherwise, to support and facilitate learners’ grammatical development aimed at communicative proficiency in the foreign language.
