DESCRIPTION:"Problem-Based Models for Language and Culture Instruction"\nSt
 acey Margarita Johnson\nAssistant Director at the Center for Teaching and S
 enior Lecturer of Spanish\, Vanderbilt University \n\nA problem-based appro
 ach to language instruction infuses the communicative classroom with curren
 t events\, critical thinking\, and interdisciplinary connections. Through a
  process of identifying a problem\, gathering resources to understand the p
 roblem\, and then working with a group to process and report on what they h
 ave learned\, students acquire language as they learn about the world aroun
 d them and engage deeply with others' perspectives. Although problem-based 
 language learning can be used as the foundation of an entire course or prog
 ram of study\, this talk will emphasize how and why instructors can impleme
 nt problem-based language learning right away through intentional\, researc
 h-informed modifications to their existing plans. \n\nBio: Dr. Stacey M Joh
 nson is a teacher of Spanish as well as language teaching methods and secon
 d language acquisition. Stacey is also a researcher\, technology administra
 tor\, editor of the journal Spanish and Portuguese Review\, and producer of
  the podcast We Teach Languages. Her academic interests include postseconda
 ry language classroom practices\, hybrid/blended instruction\, professional
  development\, and adult learning including transformative learning and cri

 ublished in March 2015\, and her second book\, Adult Learning in the Langua
 ge Classroom\, came out later that same year. Stacey’s recent publications 
 include a book chapter and a magazine article about collecting authentic re
 sources and an article about social justice in the language classroom. Curr
 ently she is working on projects including: 1) her third book\, co-authored
  with Claire Knowles with expected publication in 2022\, about the potentia
 l of a problem-based model for language and culture instruction\, and 2) an
