Title: Lesson Planning for 21st Century Multilingual College Students
Description: In this interactive workshop, attendees will complete a learning-centered lesson plan for their individual courses. With the realization that many universities, including George Mason, have goals to increase international student enrollments, the

resources for future reference.
Session Outcomes: Attendees will be able to develop a learning-centered lesson plan for their individual courses.
This includes:
- Writing measurable objectives for 21st century multilingual learners
- Sharing ideas for learning-centered activities that can be used with a wide-variety of class sizes and disciplines.
- Brainstorming a list of assessments that can quickly measure student learning (related to the lesson plan objectives)
