Jeffrey White, German Instructor and LRC Director, will give two presentations at this year’s American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) conference on November 21 and 22 in San Antonio. The first presentation illustrates the applications of a humanistically oriented genre-based approach that integrates language and cultural studies content in an intermediate German class. Jeffrey’s second presentation delves in to the ongoing collaborative curricular planning efforts within UP’s German Studies program to develop a framework that integrates genre, the goals of advanced multiple literacies, and insights from Halliday’s systemic functional linguistics throughout the sequence of German courses.
