Language Acquisition: the method in which students acquire a new language. Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing.

Students make many routes to get here and there is not one single solution for each student

Our students have a high variety of backgrounds; therefore we need to make sure we understand how they came to our classroom, so that we can offer the best appropriate tools and support.

I have heard about this, but have yet to try it out myself. For the most part, most students speak Spanish so I can translate myself. But I cannot assume I will always have Spanish speaking students.

I will also be intentional about gradually releasing students from translations; I will start out newcomers with translations but slowly begin to drop the translations and encourage students to become more independent with translating as needed.

Short Answer is great for peer review and feedback. How it functions: you set up a question, decide what criteria you want students to grade/assess, and add accommodations like sentence stems or translations if you want. Students rack up points based off their peer review/feedback and at the end they are able to see their strengths and weaknesses. You can also set up for student's work/feedback to be anonymous, so that they don't feel pressured or targeted by other peers.
