The controversial studies conducted by Dr. Kenneth Dinklage of Harvard University and Leonore Ganschow of the University of Miami, beginning in the 1970s, have significantly influenced the ongoing debate regarding the inclusion of students with learning difficulties in immersion classes. These studies have heightened the interest of bilingual education specialists in exploring the factors and possibilities involved in such inclusion.
The prevailing perspective today is that the integration of students with learning difficulties into immersion settings can be a valuable asset to their overall development, as supported by Wayne P. Thomas and Virginia P. Collier. Furthermore, the movement advocating for the inclusion of these students has gained considerable momentum, particularly with the effective utilization of artificial intelligence tools in immersion classrooms.
This session will initially focus on assisting educators in identifying the specific challenges faced by certain students, thereby enabling them to appropriately categorize these difficulties within the immersive context. Subsequently, attention will shift to selecting the relevant artificial intelligence tools designed to support student success, with an emphasis on differentiation to accommodate individual needs.
In conclusion, we will explore practical applications of these AI tools within real classroom settings.
This session will review the goals of the French DLI Commission and explore strategies to support the continued growth of our group.

Cette session a pour objectif de fournir aux enseignants actuellement en poste dans des programmes d'immersion en français aux États-Unis des outils et des stratégies pour renforcer leurs pratiques pédagogiques. Nous explorerons les principales approches pédagogiques permettant d’optimiser l’enseignement en immersion et aborderons les défis spécifiques rencontrés dans ces contextes. Nous discuterons également des moyens de soutien disponibles pour accompagner ces initiatives et enrichir les projets éducatifs dans les établissements DLI.
This session explores the importance of creating context in both traditional and immersion language classrooms to foster authentic connections to the language. We'll discuss practical strategies for helping students bridge cultural and linguistic gaps, build understanding, and increase motivation. The session also challenges the assumption that immersion learners automatically connect to the language, offering approaches to address gaps and help students engage more meaningfully with the language.
It’s the 21st century! Participants will discuss several inventions introduced at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair including the Ferris Wheel and the zipper and how these inventions still impact our world today. Join us to celebrate the many contributions of francophone inventors of the past, present, and future. Exciting, innovative, engaging inventors…On y va!

How to enhance a French class with a virtual partnership? This session discusses a sample project conducted at the presenter’s institution. In it, a college class in the US partnered virtually with a High School class in France. Presentation points include project rationale, course units, course goals, oral and written assignments designed to meet ACTFL goals, as well as student feedback. The presentation concludes with the benefits, limitations, and future of this virtual partnership.
