National Foreign Language Center: STARTALK Classroom Video Collection

The National Foreign Language Center is pleased to announce the launch of the STARTALK Classroom Video Collection. These ten videos provide real-life examples of teachers working to incorporate STARTALK-endorsed effective practices in Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Persian, Swahili, Turkish and Urdu classroom settings. This collection is intended for current and future world language teachers in pre-K–16 programs, including those at heritage- and community-based schools.

As you will see, the main page of the collection contains an introductory video and links to all ten videos along with a brief description and specifications for each video. Each video can be downloaded or viewed online by clicking the links below the description. Each video is also accompanied by a .pdf file of supporting materials.

Whether you are teaching now, preparing to become a world language teacher, or training and mentoring teachers, we hope that you will find these videos useful sources for reflection on your own language teaching or that of your students. We hope you enjoy the Startalk Classroom Video Collection!
