Pathways Language Repository VIP Launch Night

3/14/2019

Comments

 
Opportunities to learn other languages are limited, especially, in Idaho. Many foreign language teachers lack sufficient support and may not have access to high-quality teaching resources. The Pathways Open Educational Resource (OER) Repository, an initiative from the Boise State University Department of World Languages, is an open and collaborative network of instructional materials and professional development created by and uniquely for Idaho’s K-16 language teachers and students. 

Teachers and students participating in the Pathways Project come from different fields of study and schools across Idaho to create open (i.e., free), digital activities that support the teaching and learning of foreign languages and promote intercultural competence. We hope to impact the opportunities learners have to connect to the global world and want to connect with you!

We are excited to announce a special Open House for Idaho K-16 second language instructors. This event will take place on April 26th, from 5:00pm-6:30pm and participants will have the option to attend virtually or face-to-face! 

Please RSVP via Paperless Post and if you have not yet received an invitation, kindly send amberhoye@boisestate.edu an email and she will make sure you receive one.

John E. Bielenberg  1944-2018

4/7/2018

​John was the Idaho Association of Teachers of Languages and Cultures Teacher of the Year for 1994-1995.  This Genesee native stretched the world view for many students and colleagues alike with his integration of language and history.  His 75 years were pebbled with numerous examples of calm sharing of knowledge and new adventures.  Many Idaho students had their first foreign experience thanks to his willingness to help them travel.  He was at the core of German teachers in Idaho while at Nampa, but the state's weak response to the linguistic needs of its students never detoured him from doing his best to compensate for the short-comings of the legislature and school districts.
