This is a template that teacher educators may use, revise, or remix to support OER teacher education.
Material Type: Teaching/Learning Strategy
This is a template teachers can use to help guide them on how to remix digital humanities and/or authentic materials with the Pathways Project activities. Digital Humanities sites take collections of video, text, audio or other artifacts and transform them into something that is widely accessible online. While some sites are just virtual collections of content, the best sites showcase this information in new and interesting ways.

"Becoming an Expert: Learn how to Adopt & Adapt Interpersonal Speaking Activities for Your World Language Classroom" Facilitated by Pathways Project Co-Directors, Kelly Arispe and Amber Hoye, with additional help from Cyndi Cook, Shannon Smith, and Sharon Westbrook. Description: On August 5, 2022, the Pathways Project facilitated a one-day virtual professional development workshop for world language teachers in the state of Idaho and across the globe. In this recording, we invite you participate in this hands-on workshop, where you’ll get to practice locating, editing, and creating Open Educational Resources in the Pathways Project.

Material Type: Lesson Plan, Teaching/Learning Strategy
In this one hour webinar, you’ll watch two demonstrations (one for Higher Ed and one for K-12) where we locate Pathways interpersonal speaking activities and customize them in real-time “live”. We’ll revise, remix, and redistribute the activity, modeling why you’d make changes and showcasing how. We’ll re-visit our newly published authentic materials and digital humanities booklet to demonstrate how easy it is to find resources to align to the activity to enhance it for interpretive communication and intercultural competence learning outcomes. We’ll show you how easy it is to make these changes within OER Commons and to license your work for other teachers to use.

The Pathways Project is largely centered on interpersonal speaking activities. One of the ways that we'd like to grow in the future is by including interpretive (reading/listening) activities. This guide will walk you through how you might incorporate authentic materials into your classroom and scaffold them to meet the needs of your learners.
Material Type: Lesson
In this activity, students will practice identifying where they can buy certain items. Students will also work on asking a partner what their likes are and use these characteristics to come up with a potential gift for them. This activity has been revised to add an authentic resource as an interpretive reading activity to scaffold for the interpersonal speaking activity, also attached.
Material Type: Activity/Lab, Primary Source, Reading
Students will work with simple Fairytale character vocabulary and descriptions of them (Prince--charming, Snowwhite-beautiful, etc.) preparing them to work next with more in-depth vocabulary in the form of a Fairytale infographic. The infographic contains several charts, descriptions and information pertaining to the top 10 most popular Gebrüder Grimm Fairytales for students to discover after preparing first with a pre-reading activity to front-load the vocabulary they will encounter in the infographic.

Answering Frequently Asked Questions and Another Way to Think about Copyright.
Material Type: Lecture
This activity is revised for a face-to-face K-12 classroom, although it is most appropriate for secondary (middle school and high school) levels. I added layers to the warm-up and cool-down and the entirety of the activity could easily last one full (50 minute) class period or be divided into two classes. The entire activity is contextualized as an authentic performance task where prospective students go on a virtual “university campus tour”.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will practice introducing themselves, greeting someone, and answering how they are doing. They will also learn greetings for different times of the day. Students will understand the cultural importance of la bise, how this particular form of greeting differs in distinct areas of France, and deepen their cultural insights into how to perform a ubiquitous French greeting. Students will also learn about the geopolitical divisions in France.
Material Type: Activity/Lab
Students will discuss their preferences and defend and support their ideas. Students will exchange opinions on a variety of topics through a game of interest bingo.

In this one hour webinar, we’ll discuss best practices and practical strategies for deciding when and how much of a copyrighted work you can include under fair use. After the workshop, educators will be able to enrich their course materials with photos, video clips, newspaper articles, and more. Better yet, they will know how to share them with a larger audience.
