@NikkiScimeca@lizkeslar108@LeoneClark I agree, that is why it should never be the only way to assess progress or learning. Portfolio of the student classwork could also be part of the data set not just the assessment part. Some students are terrible test takers.
@MustifulAlessi@lizkeslar108@LeoneClark So true and I need to use it more often for my shy students as well. It give them an opportunity to use their French without class pressure.
@LeoneClark By incorporating project-based learning with options for topic selection and presentation formats, I will provide students with a sense of autonomy and the opportunity to connect their French studies with their personal interests while gaining proficiency in the French language.
@LeoneClark Duolingo is a disruptive technology due to its accessibility, gamified approach, low cost, data-driven personalization, and on-demand learning. It challenges traditional teaching methods by offering an individualized language learning experience.
@LeoneClark I have implemented SSR (French readers from novice level to advance). The 2 criteria are silence and no grades. At first it was very chaotic so we talked about growth mindset and taking ownership of their learning and students now feels it helps them improve their fluency.
@LeoneClark A6 -Students can choose their own projects related to French culture, allowing them to explore their interests while practicing language skills. This empowers them to take ownership of their learning and develop a growth mindset.
@LeoneClark A5 - V&C empowers students and boosts engagement by letting them express preferences and make learning decisions. P2: Free Reading: students choose French books for independent reading. Tutoring: 1 on 1 or small-group where st. can choose topics to discuss or practice in French.
@LeoneClark A4 -My personal interest in French-speaking countries leads me to explore their diverse cultures, histories, and societies. I integrate topics like literature, music, and multiculturalism into my lessons.This broadens students' horizons and deepens their appreciation for French.
@MustifulAlessi@LeoneClark Agreed, it might even feel scary at first for the teachers since we do not know how much the students are going to learn if we give them control.
@BelvaMarsh2 Agreed, even if it feels unconfortable at first for the teacher as it can look as losing control and that students might not learn enough.
@MomofA_A@LeoneClark Reaching the students where they are at and making sure to challenge them all to a level they can each achieve and feel successful. Curiosity + Success = Motivation.
