Language Teaching & Learning Spring Showcase 2026

Event Description

The CTL and Coalition for Language Teaching & Learning invite language instructors from across departments to participate in our Spring Showcase Show & Tell Event on Friday, March 27th, from 3-4pm, with happy hour to follow from 4-5pm. This event is meant to be a fun, low-stress (post-Spring Break) opportunity for language instructors to get together, share, and learn from each other.

This event will feature participants briefly sharing a favorite engaging grammar activity that might transfer to other language-teaching contexts. Make sure the activity can be described in just a few minutes, since we’ll be doing lightning rounds!

All participants will create a single PPT slide that includes your name, a brief description of the activity, the level of course the activity is appropriate for, and what you see as its benefits. The slide need not be fancy! Participants will share their ideas and each PPT slide will be collected and redistributed together with the others as a single PDF to all event participants as a “resource gallery” for future use.

All language instructors including faculty, postdocs, and grad students who are teaching independently, are welcome to participate. If you can’t make it for the whole hour, you are welcome to still participate when you can. Advance registration is required. All attendees must plan to bring an activity to share.

For questions about the event, please email Elina Salminen at elinasalminen@wustl.edu.
