Language Share Fair
Dartmouth's Inaugural Language Faculty Teaching Conference
Inspiring practices, innovative ideas and useful tools for teaching
The goal of the Language Share Fair, Spring 2013 is to bring all of us together, across languages and departments, to share inspiring teaching practices, ideas, and tools for teaching that we have found particularly useful. Any successful experiences in our classes deserve to be amplified and made available to others, so that we can all learn from each other’s ideas and expertise with one ultimate goal in mind: students’ successful learning.
Event supported by the Associate Dean for the Arts and Humanities and the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning.

Please send us a 200 word proposal, including the title and a brief description of your presentation.
