KIND WORDS & EMAILS FROM TEACHERS ABOUT P&C
"Everything about this conference was amazing.
The ability to do sessions based on my crazy schedule. Hearing from other WoLang teachers. Strategies and challenges specific to world language. Engaging in conversations with WoLang teachers from all over."
- Danielle, 2023 attendee
"I found a lot of easy to implement ideas that I can do this week but I also got a lot of food for thought as I start working on curriculum changes for next year."
- Shanda
"This is my 3rd year using CI and I think the conference reinforced the things I am doing well (passwords, speed dating, TPR novels..), let me know I am not alone in the many hours of prep work (for the multiple preps) and gave me some ideas to help with that and gave me some new ideas to up my game."
- Bev
"It's right in the name. I love that the ideas shared are practical. I also like that there are a variety of languages represented. "
- Jennifer
"The majority of the presentations delivered exactly what the conference promised: PRACTICAL ways to improve my CI practice. I came out with more ideas than I can possibly implement!"
-Mike
"The presentations were very applicable for teaching novice learners, and most presenters gave concrete ideas to implement, especially for those of us who are tied to a textbook (because of school/district) but want to move the needle towards more proficiency.
The presentation about Chromebook shortcuts was brilliant! Thank you for including practical tools like these also."
-Tonantzin

MEET YOUR HOST -
Devon Gunning | La Libre Language Learning
Hi! I'm a curriculum designer, consultant, and instructional coach for proficiency-style world language teachers.
My specialty is making your curriculum a USEFUL tool that drives your proficiency goals instead of something you're embarrassed to still be using.
In my program Practical Proficiency, I help teachers who want to do more CI/ADI/Proficiency teach what matters, in a way that works, and still have a life.
This summit was born in 2020 for busy, like-minded teachers to start using CI as a way to streamline your classroom instead of adding to your workload.
6 conferences later, Practical & Comprehensible is back to rekindle JOY and FUN for teachers and students alike in the language classroom.
This special conference is a place where many teachers learn about CI for the first time, and where others remember that they're not alone in their struggle to advocate for proficiency.
I can't wait for you to join us this year for our 6th conference!
Thanks for making it possible!
