An example from this is Miss Camila, because she said that something she likes about knowing English is that she can communicate and help people that come from other places that are more comfortable speaking English.  

The new idea that I realized from an English teacher was that you can also develop your linguistic and interactive skills of communication by reading/listening in English from different places (USA, UK, Australia…), because they have different vocabularies.

The challenges/puzzles in terms of language and interaction were mostly between my team, because we barely spoke to each other.}, due to that in my opinion we were a little bit lost. Also, when we had to ask questions, we were very desicronized.]]> 2022-03-21 19:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/santiagocollege/7s6ugp6bis87e51v/wish/2106053968 Connect, Extend, Challenge mduggan42 https://padlet.com/santiagocollege/7s6ugp6bis87e51v/wish/2106059757 The information we collected was connected to what I already knew especially when we spoke to Ms. Francisca and she told us she learned English through movies and music and such. I knew this worked because being exposed to an environment that speaks in the language you want to learn, you start to pick up some words and their meanings within the context of the media you're consuming.

I realized that in addition to just speaking, hand gestures tone of voice, volume, facial expressions (or the way eyes look) all play a bigger role in communication than we often realize.

I am not a very talkative person but I can be. However, my challenge is allowing myself to speak. I wanted to ask some of my own personal questions to Ms Karin in lower school since she's able to juggle 3 languages at once.]]> 2022-03-21 19:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/santiagocollege/7s6ugp6bis87e51v/wish/2106059757 mduggan42 https://padlet.com/santiagocollege/7s6ugp6bis87e51v/wish/2106060508 2022-03-21 19:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/santiagocollege/7s6ugp6bis87e51v/wish/2106060508 Connect, Extend, Challenge mduggan42 https://padlet.com/santiagocollege/7s6ugp6bis87e51v/wish/2106065515 Well, I knew that in order to work quickly we had to work as a team to get information!

I realized that communication takes a big part of collaboration. You can't work together if you don't communicate, after all you can read people's minds.
What challenges or puzzles did you face in terms of collaboration?

Again, I am not very talkative, so I found myself being very quiet with my group. Not to mention the fact that when I was supposed to be speaking English (which is the easiest form of communication for me) I found myself speaking Spanish in fear of judgment. Again the challenge here was myself and how I only allowed myself to communicate in specific situations. ]]> 2022-03-21 19:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/santiagocollege/7s6ugp6bis87e51v/wish/2106065515 Connect, Extend, Challenge mduggan42 https://padlet.com/santiagocollege/7s6ugp6bis87e51v/wish/2106069315 It was connected through the fact that in a community like this everybody has to collaborate on our learning.

That collaboration doesn't just  mean helping physically.

That not all of my classmates wanted to participate in the scavenger hunt.]]> 2022-03-21 19:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/santiagocollege/7s6ugp6bis87e51v/wish/2106069315 Connect, Extend, Challenge mduggan42 https://padlet.com/santiagocollege/7s6ugp6bis87e51v/wish/2106070040 We collected a lot of information about how people use English, and some of the teachers actually used the language in similar situations to me.

I noticed that the language we speak impacts a lot on our daily life and our decisions in the future 

My english isn't totally perfect so sometimes when i had to ask questions i got a bit stuck

Many students were not always equipped to adapt to real-world scenarios in English.

Many students do not see the importance of social collaboration or participating equally as a team member.

The most successful moments of interactive communication were seen between MS and HS students. HS students were welcoming and offered friendly information at levels students were comfortable with.]]> 2022-03-21 20:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/santiagocollege/7s6ugp6bis87e51v/wish/2106153284
