YES! And, the golden rules of being comprehensible:

GO SLOW
BREATHE
SCAFFOLD VISUALLY
SPELL OUT COGNATES
EMBRACE PROCESSING TIME AND SILENCE
CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING
FIND/CREATE TEXTS THEY CAN ACTUALLY READ

I'm sure I missed some, but this is a start!

I'll give you a big ol' hell to the yes on this one, Jeff!

[Señora Jackson @SraJackson_SHS]

Yes!!! Lots of Input MUST come before output! For more traditional teachers who are used to a lot of forced output, it may seem like the kids "haven't learned anything", but forced output only leads to the "I took 4 years of Spanish and don't remember anything" type of learning !

A3: moving towards SBG has helped me to grade smarter not harder. Only summative assessments in Gradebook. Everything else is practice with feedback https://t.co/pQELkeAmsy #langchat

Yogi Berra discusses the limitations of applying consciously learned knowledge to performance:
“You can’t think and hit at the same time.”

Those flexible lesson plans were such a brainstorm when I wrote them in 2016! I am so glad they come in handy for other teachers!

Got students that are at Novice Low? Remember that communication is verbal and non-verbal. Allow them to OUTPUT in ways that are appropriate for their level of proficiency... [this might even mean you allow them to speak in English!] #TCIMAINE18 @MundodePepita

[Martina Bex @MartinaBex]

When you teach a range of grades, sit down and think what the differences are between students in each grade. How do interests change? Developmental changes? Social changes? Cognitive changes? #TCIMAINE18 @MundodePepita
