In this activity, students will be exposed to a variety of music genres and artists from the Spanish-speaking world. Students will work on becoming more informed about different types of music and backgrounds of various artists. Through listening to snippets of songs and a JIGSAW activity, students will collect information about a singer and share it with each other.

This OER Lesson assignment was created by Janelle Steig as part of the 2023 World Language OER Summer work and training. Educators worked with NDE staff to create OER Learning Plans and materials. The attached assignment is designed for 9 - 12 Spanish teachers for student learning of Mid Novice Learners of Spanish. Students will create a slides presentation about a Spanish-speaking country. This assignment addresses the following NDE World Language Standard(s): NE WL 1.1, 2.2, and 4.2. 

This resource was created by Margarita Flores, in collaboration with Dawn DeTurk, Hannah Blomstedt, and Julie Albrecht, as part of ESU2's Integrating the Arts project. This project is a four year initiative focused on integrating arts into the core curriculum through teacher education, practice, and coaching.

This online resource which is designed as a highly interactive alternative to a textbook for a full-semester course to help beginning students gain or increase Spanish skills that are useful for their career, daily life, academics and travel. The emphasis will be in language output for daily life and professional purposes, and there is very little emphasis on grammar as this will be acquired naturally through exposure to the language.Students will find activities to build speaking, listening, writing and reading skills as well as explore Spanish, Hispanic and Latin American culture.All sources in this resource are Open Educational Resources which are free and available to all users.

This interpretive listening and presentational writing task aligns with a novice-level unit about sports. This task is tiered by complexity of product (how students show what they know).

This OER clas activity was created by Joseba Moreno as part of the 2023 World Language OER Summer work and training. Educators worked with NDE staff to create OER Learning Plans and materials. The attached resource is designed for 9 - 12 World Language Arts teachers for student learning of basic Learners of Spanish. The attachment contains a document with a template to play a game of Tic, Tac, Toe, using personal questions. The game follows the traditional rules of tic, tac, toe, with the variation that in order to make a move, the student has to ask the question written in the spot they want to his classmate by using the Spanish learnt in the first unit of a novice World Language class. 

Website created by Nancy Thuleen for teachers of German. It contains ready made resources and worksheets German teachers can use in their classrooms for free and with no attribution.

Research shows that engaging students in self-assessment positively impacts language learning, motivation, and learner autonomy. To help World Language Educators accomplish this, the Nebraska Department of Education invited experienced world language teachers across the state to create student-friendly assessments in the form of can-do statements in the summer of 2022. This document is a student-friendly self-assessment activity for Intermediate Low world language learners created based on the 2019 Nebraska World Language Standards. The language use described in all can-do statements is meant for the target language, except for the second for standard 3.1 and the first for standard 4.2. It is recommended that word language teachers engage students with this document three times in an academic year: pre-course, mid-course, and post-course. Engaging students with this self-assessment activity will help students see growth over time and hopefully attribute growth to effective learning practices. Please feel free to contact chrystal.liu@nebraska.gov for any questions and concerns.
