KAGAN STRUCTURES FOR FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING
Kagan Structures for Interaction, Comprehension, and Fluency!
2 Day workshop
In many foreign language classrooms, students learn about a foreign language, but they don’t actually acquire it. Fluency develops when students have multiple opportunities to use the language in meaningful ways.
In this eye-opening workshop, you learn practical teaching tools to dramatically increase both language production and meaningful language input. You create full language engagement in a cooperative, communicative, and supportive context.
Kagan Structures allow a safe context for language learning, multiply opportunities for language production, and increase the amount of comprehensible input. Within this context, your students show remarkable acceleration of receptive and productive language skills.
As you revitalise your teaching through easy-to-learn, easy-to-use Kagan Structures, your students develop increased fluency—they not only learn about the language, they acquire the language.

Kagan Structures for Foreign Language Learners Workbook
“In the classroom it is the teacher who ultimately makes the choice of how much students feel included or excluded. When we choose not to make concerted efforts to make our classrooms more inclusive, we have still made a choice. It is a choice to default to traditional individualistic and competitive learning that results in many students feeling disconnected.”
— Miguel Kagan, Kagan USA
