On September 25, 2014 over twenty-five foreign language faculty attended the first annual FOREIGN LANGUAGE SHARE FAIR. The Share Fair was organized by Erin McNulty, Assistant Professor of Spanish. A dozen Dickinson College foreign language faculty presented tips, ideas and short activities to their colleagues on activities that worked especially well in their classrooms. What we find is that most activities can be translated to other languages and modifications can be made to adjust for language levels. Faculty left inspired to introduce these innovative ideas in their own classrooms. . .one even did so on the same day!
