DESCRIPTION:The Language Teaching Committee presents te Webinar:\n\nBuildin
 g Community in the (Online) Language Classroom \n\nFebruary 24\, 2022  10:
 00-11:30am\n\n Guest Speaker: \n	Prof. Heather R. Rice \n	(University Of Tex
 as at Austin)\n\nStudent engagement and a strong sense of community are th
 e cornerstone of any successful language class. Online language learning o
 ften presents a challenge to the notion of classroom community. When teach
 ing online\, instructors must be intentional in their efforts\, to ensure 
 meaningful student engagement. This workshop will demonstrate how the curr
 iculum for online Russian language courses at the University of Texas at A
 ustin has been designed in such a way to meet the particular demands of di
 stance learning with regard to the notion of classroom community. We will 
 look at creative ways to mine the internet and the standard tools supplied
  by a learning management system to create an engaging learning environmen
 t for various class sizes online. We will discuss how the traditional face
 -to-face model informed the design of our online classes and how\, in turn
 \, we may adapt strategies gleaned from our online teaching to the face-to
 -face model when returning to the classroom. \n
