WELCOME TO FFLA 2015
2
Welcome to the 2015 Annual Conference of
The Florida Foreign Language Association!
We are absolutely delighted you are here, as our focus of this year’s
conference is to honor and celebrate our dedicated and talented
language teachers . . . YOU!!! We hope that you will take full
advantage of all of the wonderful opportunities that are built within
our three-day conference!
It is with tremendous pride and enthusiasm that I welcome you to
our 2015 FFLA Conference in beautiful and historic Saint Augustine! Our theme for this year’s
conference is Power Up Your Brain With Language!, an appropriate title given that language learning
develops and connects all parts of the brain. As the FFLA President of this prestigious event, I am
deeply humbled by the challenges and learning that have brought this conference to fruition. During
every given moment of this planning process, there were always FFLA colleagues available watching
my back, supporting our endeavors, and providing tremendous insight and expertise. I have often
stated to FFLA colleagues that our conferences mirror an incredible ‘Family Reunion” where all
family members get along and cannot wait to spend time with each other! As a long-time member of
the FFLA, this “family environment” has been the pivotal point in bringing me back ever since. If this
is your first time at an FFLA conference, you will soon find how many new family members you will
have gained by the conclusion of this wonderful family get-together!
As brain-based research reveals, a “relaxed and stress-free” mind lends toward optimal learning and
engagement! Therefore, you are in an ideal environment to reach out to FFLA colleagues, make new
friends and contacts, and take on new risks. We encourage you to reach out to our FFLA members
to see what talents and leadership skills you might bring to us! With this said, I would like to welcome
you to our FFLA table!
Furthermore, this event could not take place without the involvement and generosity of our wonderful
Sponsors and Exhibitors! Please make it a point to meet with them and to thank them for their
partnership with FFLA. We welcome all of you to Saint Augustine!
Sincerely,
Frank Kruger-Robbins,
2015 FFLA President

The Irving Wershow Award
Each year the prestigious Irving Wershow Award for Excellence in Leadership in the profession is
presented at the FFLA Conference in October to a member who has demonstrated leadership
at the regional, state, and/or national level; served as a quality educator in his/her own right; and
promoted the teaching and learning of foreign languages and/or bilingual/bicultural education,
and/or English as a Second Language.
Dr. Irving Wershow was a distinguished professor of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of
Florida from 1938-77. He was a graduate of Yale University and taught all levels at UF. He was a
potent advocate of language proficiency for communicative purposes, and strongly emphasized
the role that culture plays in foreign language study. As such, he was way ahead of his time. He
was an eloquent spokesman for our profession and was in constant demand as a consultant and
advisor to national education associations. While at the University of Florida, he established and
directed the first NDEA efforts. Dr. Irving Wershow also served as the Director of the Center for
Latin American Studies, established and directed the Center for African Studies and was also the
Director of the Graduate Programs in Linguistics at the University of Florida. Probably of most significance for school teachers in Florida, was his dedication to assisting foreign language teachers
at the elementary and secondary schools in Florida. He was a university scholar who was also a
classroom teacher advocate. He was actively engaged in supporting and promoting AATSP and
FFLA. A considerable amount of the early efforts to establish the FFLA came from Dr. Wershow. He
passed away in 1977.
The 2015 Irving Wershow Recipient
Alysse Rasmussen
(16 June,1951 - 15 December, 2014)
Alysse Rasmussen was a valuable member of the FFLA Board of Directors representing the Florida
American Sign Language Teachers Association - FASLTA from 2008 until the last board meeting in
Miami in 2014. She was always an active and very wise contributor to discussions and had the well
being of the organization at heart. Her profound knowledge of organizations and understanding of people, added great depth and richness to board interactions. Her resume is too long to
include here, and FFLA is honored to have received her support and wisdom through the years.
Alysse is greatly missed by the World Language Community in the State of Florida. This is the first
time the Wershow award is bestowed posthumously, and it is with great respect that we honor a
loved colleague.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Dr. Nikolai P. Vitti
2015 FFLA Friend of Foreign Languages Award Winner
Thursday evening Guest Speaker
We know the intellectual growth and vocabulary development that learning multiple languages offers students, which
provides additional academic and economic opportunities,
but just as important are the doors that learning multiple
languages open to understanding multiple cultures, histories
and ultimately better understanding oneself in a global and
diverse society.
- Dr. Nikolai P. Vitti
Dr. Nikolai P. Vitti is the Superintendent of Duval County Public Schools (DCPS), the nation’s 16th largest school district, serving over 127,000 students. Dr. Vitti received the prestigious Presidential Scholarship from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and was a member of the Urban Superintendent Program, which has developed a number of successful superintendents throughout the country.
In 2012, he completed his doctorate from Harvard in Education, Administration, Planning and Social
Policy. He received his masters in the same field from Harvard. Dr. Vitti also holds a Masters in Education from Wake Forest University where he was awarded a Master Teacher Fellowship and a B.A. in
History. As an undergraduate, he earned Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa recognition. Dr.
Vitti is married with four children who all attend public schools.
Dr. Vitti’s accomplishments in Duval County, based on his recognition of the value of world languages, has earned him the 2015 FFLA Friend of Foreign Languages Award. Under Dr. Vitti’s leadership,
Duval County has reestablished world language programs in all middle schools and expanded its
number of Dual Language programs. When the State of Florida implemented three different graduation diplomas with only one requiring world language study, Dr. Vitti convinced the Duval County
School Board to make two consecutive years of language study a graduation requirement for all
DCPS students.
We applaud Dr. Vitti’s commitment to and support of world language study and hope that his visionary leadership will inspire other districts.

Despite the often frustrating climate of the current educational setting, teachers must strive to develop a
growth mindset and take back control of their professional learning. Using Carol Dweck's research on mindset,
teachers will examine their core educational beliefs, identify their growth and fixed mindset traits, and self
reflect on how these traits affect their personal and professional growth. This workshop is a great introduction
to the afternoon session on the TELL project (Teacher Effectiveness for Language Learning) where teachers will
use their growth mindset to ƐĞƚƉĞƌƐŽŶĂůŝnjĞĚƉƌŽĨĞƐƐŝŽŶĂůĚĞǀĞůŽƉŵĞŶƚŐŽĂůƐ͘ථ

The use of authentic materials in the modern Spanish classroom has become a valuable tool in
recent years. The benefits of the use of authentic documents can be maximized if instructors provide
the necessary cultural context for effectively relating form to meaning in the foreign language learning
process through film clips, commercials, literature, photographs, web sites, and products of the
foreign culture.

This workshop will present many activities that elicit students’ oral use of the language. This is a participatory workshop in
which participants will be engaged in each activity as students. The examples will be given in Spanish but can surely be easily
transferred to other languages.

Multimodality in my Chinese Literacy Classroom
Chinese has increasingly become important in our 21st century. Learning Chinese isn’t an easy job for L2 learners. How Chinese language educators present learning material to students plays an important role in students’ Chinese literacy.
The
concept of multimodality immediately made great sense to me when I found myself wondering why a single instruction mode
doesn’t work. I’ll center on personal teaching experiences using multimodality and elaborate on that.

A Portuguese-English Dictionary for Production: Aligning Students’ Needs and Lexicographical Information
Dictionaries are important tools for the foreign language learner. The purpose of this paper is to present a study on PortugueseEnglish learners’ dictionaries and to introduce an innovative bilingual dictionary of verbs based on the needs of Brazilian learners of English. The literature review combines relevant studies in the fields of bilingual meta-lexicography, pedagogical metalexicography and contrastive linguistics. The more lexicographers know about the learners, the more effective role dictionaries
will play in the learning context.

The Effects of Processing Instruction on Arabic
Processing instruction (PI) is a pedagogical intervention based on a model of input processing, whose goal is to alter the
learner’s incorrect processing strategies and facilitate form-meaning connections (VanPatten, 2004). Various target forms
across many languages have been investigated; however, research to date has not addressed the Arabic past tense. The current session presents the findings of the effects of PI paired with traditional output oriented tasks. The implications for theory
and methodology are discussed.

Linguistic Policy & Foreign Language Learning In India: Towards a Pedagogy of Plurilingualism
While the Indian education system allows for the national language (Hindi) to coexist along with regional languages, the current
policy is nebulous about the position of foreign languages. Regionalism and marginalization of foreign languages make it safe
to infer that the pedagogy of plurilingualism is not sufficiently highlighted in India. This paper discusses the challenges that a
diverse democracy faces in the construction of a plurilingual educational pedagogy.

Have you heard about The Florida State Spanish Conference? Do you know what it is? Do you want to attend, but don’t know
where to begin? Then this is the session for you! This session will answer all your questions about why your students should
compete at “Conferencia”. Covered in this session will be the preliminary (paperwork and funding) stage. The second portion of
the session is about attending FSSC and will focus on how to select a team to compete, selecting a poem for each student, the
right play for your group, and preparing the students for these competitions. Also discussed will be our non-academic competitions (scrapbook, poster, and vocal, instrumental and dance entertainment). Everything from soup to nuts about preparing a
team will be covered. Presenters of the session are the President, VP and Secretary of TheFSSC.org
