ACTFL2014

=ACTFL2014 = =Osu! The Ouendan – Ultimate Motivation, Collaboration and Advocacy =

Motivated students are key to the success of any language program. Using the concept of diffusion network (Change Agents/Opinion Leaders) in //Diffusion of Innovations// (Roger, 1994), this presentation exploits the notion of //Ouendan// (Japanese style of cheering squad for sports) to promote language learning and advocacy for the language. The presenters compare traditions and performances of cheering squads around world with those in Japan, share several //Ouendan// projects they developed using the PBL model, and describe how these projects integrate and interconnect themes (Contemporary Life, Beauty and Aesthetics). This presentation recognizes the importance of the learning community, and illustrates how students (Pre-AP, AP, College) team up with other students in art and music, creating meaningful cheering messages in Japanese, and performing collaboratively at campus, local, and global events. This session shares a variety of hands-on activities that motivate student learning and are usable in class (e.g., making //Ouendan// costumes, voicing practice, etc.). This session will be beneficial to all levels.
