Topic: The Global is Local: Enhancing Language Learning through Service

Stephanie Stokamer, Director, Center for Civic Engagement, Pacific University
Eric Lassahn, Director, Community Service Learning, Willamette University

In this session facilitators will focus on how service-learning can best be implemented in language courses. Drawing on examples from language faculty, service-learning theories, research on best practices, the facilitators in this interactive session will share knowledge and create opportunities for participants to discuss and imagine their own service-learning courses. By the end of the session, participants should be able to describe how service-learning can operate in foreign language courses, suggest a few ideas for implementation that could work in their courses or departments, and identify resources available in their communities.
