Languages other than English (LOTE)
Foreign Language Educators Institute



The LOTE specialists provide professional development and technical assistance for the purpose of improving the linguistic proficiency of all students learning a foreign language. World language educators are invited to networking sessions. The following areas are targeted: research-based practices in foreign language classroom instruction and testing, the LOTE TEKS, the needs of heritage and non-heritage speakers, and the three modes of communication (interpersonal, presentational and receptive) essential to language acquisition in a proficiency-based classroom.

Important Session Information:


The 2018 LOTE: Foreign Language Educators’ Institute will help you continue growing your LOTE expertise in program development and/or classroom instruction. Come learn from classroom teachers and leadership (new and veteran) sharing their instructional best practices with Institute’s attendees. We encourage you to believe in the power of your practices and learn alongside visiting educators the possibilities of Building the Foundation for Language Proficiency and Beyond!

This year's KEYNOTE speaker is Mr. John De Mado. He has authored several text book programs in Spanish, French and ESL as well as composed and recorded a series of instructional French and Spanish rap CD/DVDs entitled La Boutique Magique, Une Boum Cool, ¡Festejemos!, and ¡Somos Campeones!, respectively. Each features original raps designed to transmit specific linguistic functions and related vocabulary, structure and syntax. In early 2018, John's latest professional development book for language educators, entitled In Search of Language: Enhancing Language Acquisition in the Classroom made its successful debut.
