(pdf 40k) Application <http://www.uwm.edu/Dept/CLACS/events/smr2008/index.html> Fulbright-Hays Group Project Abroad Santiago, Chile to be conducted in Spanish
The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS), University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee plans a project *(pending funding from Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad)* for 12-14 Wisconsin K-12 teachers
(Spanish language and bilingual/dual language education) and school library media specialists. */Chile y la Literatura Infantil y Juvenil/* will be based in Santiago, Chile and will focus on Spanish-language children's and young adult literature and its potential for the K-12 classroom.
Educators will explore the use of children's literature to both convey cultural content and for its pedagogical benefits in language teaching. In addition to a specialized course, taught by *Professor Cecilia Beuchat*, the project will include: seminars on Chilean history, culture and contemporary issues; visits to cultural centers, libraries and museums; school visits; roundtables with writers and illustrators; and travel to locations highlighting the diversity of the country and locations prominent as settings in Chilean children's books. The project will culminate with an opportunity to attend the International Children's and Young Adult Literature Book Fair in Buenos Aires.
Selected Wisconsin teachers and librarians will complete the program with a deeper knowledge about the availability and use of authentic text, both for second language learners and for heritage speakers. Participating library media specialists will gain awareness of Spanish language materials as resources to better support classroom learning. The project will be offered completely in Spanish, providing the additional benefit of an immersion experience to strengthen participants' language proficiency. Participants will develop practical curriculum applications while in-country for online dissemination upon completion of the project.
