“To know a language is to enter into intimacy of a people. To know it is to be committed to a people, a culture, a way of life. The teacher has the magic key that will open this treasure house of love” (Ulibarrí, 1969, C-2). #langchat

So, I’ve written a series of 6 picture books in Spanish about Berta the Super Pig. Well, I went back in and created an English and Wordless version for most of them. #CI possibilities abound. And they’re free. Just credit me please. https://t.co/BMrfo15WYc

Names are unpracticed, not difficult. I’m glad my sis-in-law chose to use her real name instead of her English class name. In class, I tell the kids my dirty little secret: if I point to you instead of using your name, I’m unsure or I’ve forgotten. Don’t let me get away with it!

@MagisterMrP @placido What an amazing feeling this must be!

What an amazing feeling this must be! I can’t wait for the year I get to enjoy iFLT, too.

“...iFLT was a bit of a Wizard of Oz experience. I went to iFLT looking for “new” practices, but in the end, I discovered that I had the tools I needed already, I just needed to see great teachers use them in creative and novel ways.” - A. Olimpi https://t.co/5ZMIbR8aLj #iflt19
