Program Summary
Although research supports literacies-based pedagogy, teachers often resist new frameworks. We highlight experiences creating listening lessons using authentic texts for a four-semester language sequence. We discuss efforts to involve teachers in researching frameworks, planning, piloting and revising lessons resulting in increased buy-in. Insights from instructor journals and interviews are presented.
