Developing Language Skills Through Art: A Video Conference

Developing Language Skills through Art

Bring the Amon Carter Museum, professional development, and two CPE credits to the comfort of your own neighborhood. Participate in our first interactive videoconference designed for professional educators on Monday, September 11, 2006, from 4 to 6 p.m.

Artworks can be a powerful tool for developing language skills. This videoconference uses portraits from the Amon Carter Museum’s collection to introduce strategies for writing, listening, reading, and speaking. Designed especially for those who teach nonnative English speakers, the strategies also benefit those who teach early language learners. Modifications of activities for students at beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels of language acquisition will be provided. Each participant will receive two CPE credits, digital images, and lesson plans tied to state standards.
