I so agree with @emilyfranESL & this quote- & the skills kids develop & gain through learning how to navigate w/o translation (or little translation) will stand them in great stead long term. #langchat #go90inTL
🙋🏽♀️ I agree with this quote 💯%
I don’t translate everything for my newcomers because if there’s no struggle...there’s no learning.
Yes! It can become a crutch.
However, build trust with Ss & empower them to know when to use & when NOT to.
They know themselves. #Ellchat_BkClub
To continue the conversation on providing instructions in the TL, here is a post I wrote a few years ago on how to vet your instructions, then break them down to support kids https://t.co/ALBQ8jLQRP #go90inTL #fles #langchat #earlylang
This echoes my approach so well! Negotiating meaning, refining understanding, persisting in using the TL are key skills we give kids when we don’t translate. #longtermskills #langchat #go90inTL
One of my favorite paragraphs about translation from #MotivatingELLs by Dr. Lora Beth Escalante @Seidlitz_Ed

A post by @Sra_Kennedy yesterday reminded me of this tweet tip I made a few yrs ago-state, city/town names are more accessible for little learners than US; their geographical knowledge is limited, & it provides a more local connection. Search my #go90inTL for more tips #fles
When making geographic comparisons, use state name instead of United States w littles-many 5-7 don't have good geo sense yet. #go90inTL
Adding to my set of visual reminders for class expectations- I had the art teacher take photos of me, then I put together this little montage for my newly acquired tables :) Note: I didn’t use fotos of kids b/c that can backfire socially #earlylang #classroommanagement #go90inTL
@DiegoOjeda66 @klasekastellano @Collegiate1915 @CollegiateWl I agree w @janina_hanson ! Coincidentally I am in the middle of writing a blog post related to this topic-that environment, in my opinion, is crucial, as is using the TL as much as possible #go90inTL

One of my most effective strategies to stay in the TL is to break down instructions, present them visually & go step by step. This not only supports comprehension, but also struggling learners. Here's my process: https://t.co/ALBQ8jLQRP #fles #go90inTL #comprehensible #langchat
