This presentation introduces FLAVA members to Facilitated Interdependent Language Learning (FILL), an innovative approach that replaces one-size-fits-all curriculum pathways with learner agency, proficiency-based goals, personalization, and strategic facilitation. Participants will explore how FILL empowers students to choose languages, set meaningful goals, use technology responsibly, and collaborate in an interdependent learning environment. The session will also provide practical tools, templates, and implementation ideas that educators can adapt either for a designated FILL course or within an existing language classroom.

Explore the new AP World Language standards and discover practical ways to strengthen vertical alignment across language programs. This workshop will focus on building a cohesive pathway from Level 1 through AP, helping educators intentionally develop the skills and knowledge students need for success in advanced language courses.
Whether you teach beginning, intermediate, or advanced language courses, this is an opportunity to gain valuable insights, connect curriculum across levels, and strengthen your approach to preparing students for AP.

We are a growing, dynamic organization of professionals in education and business, students, and all those who have a common interest in promoting and utilizing world languages to accomplish their various goals.
We advocate for world language education on behalf of members at the local, state, and federal levels. We promote online opportunities to educate the public about the benefits and issues related to language learning.
For almost a decade, FLAVA has offered interactive, online workshops through the auspices of the Washington & Lee University’s Global Discovery Laboratories, webcast throughout the region as part of our mission for professional growth.
Our fall conference serves as a primary means of fulfilling our mission in gathering the community around the association’s business, and our spring conference provides an opportunity to recharge and learn the latest theories and practices in language learning.
