@SenoraKaplan @Prof_F_Henshaw @Marishawkins It was such an honor to meet the authors of Common Ground in person #langchat #langbook
To @jaybeekay518 and @MmeBlouwolff, thank you for setting up this #langbook live! I’ve always wanted to be at one! Bucket list item: ✅
A5. On NYS, we had the pink book of speaking tasks for the regents exam. Tasks were based on role play scenarios. Students had to socialize, ask about/provide info, persuade and express opinions to complete them. A lot of what I do is still based around that format. #langbook
A4. NGL, a lot of times I let luck determine partners. #langbook
@jaybeekay518 So sad I’m gonna miss this! I attended the pre conference workshop and by the time I get dressed and over there I’m sure you’ll all be gone. Hopefully there’s room for abother #langbook / #langchat impromptu hangout this weekend! 😢
A3. So until this week when I read chapter 2 from Glisen and Donato’s book on HTLPs, I was happy with my balance. But that chapter left me wondering if I provide my students with too much structure for speaking activities. #langbook
A2. I also try not to offer any feedback if student’s utterance (is it just me, or is that an ugly word?) is comprehensible. #langbook
Janet from Omaha, joining from the Omni! #langbook
A1. Honestly, it depends on the interaction and the kid! I want to choose what I choose based on context! #langbook
Hi I’m Stacy from Michigan. A good thing this week is my son’s parent teacher conferences and I got to meet his teachers finally. This was maybe not such a thing for my son… #langbook
#mctlc22 keynote speaker @ProfeRandolph sharing his language journey. His high school Spanish class felt foreign - in the words that were taught, culture that was shared, his textbook. #langbook #earlylang #heritagelang
With my other class, we are closer to the beginning of the writing process. I made everyone close their computer while the class brainstormed adjectives we already know and might want to use. I wrote a list on the board. More scaffolding = more success, Stacy 🪜 #langbook 4/5
I thought about my own reflection that students are more likely to act on feedback they get BEFORE they turn something in for a grade, combined with my own reflection that the value of presentational writing is the learning that happens, not the assessing. #langbook 2/5
My TA from this evening's #langbook:
Presentational tasks need:
-input (modeling what they will do)
-scaffolding to brainstorm words & structures
-time to write/speak
-opportunity to learn new words
-opportunity to revise
-a real audience
