-We can now begin to "challenge" our students by providing activities that work to expand the students vocabulary, such as using the thesaurus to find a synonym to replace the common word they use. 
-While students are now able to access the material with little to no issue, we can now focus on correcting grammar as we would a native speaker. ]]> 2021-10-25 17:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ckemper7/80a9l17zkzdsqs6e/wish/1842488808 ckemper7 https://padlet.com/ckemper7/80a9l17zkzdsqs6e/wish/1843306634 2021-10-26 00:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ckemper7/80a9l17zkzdsqs6e/wish/1843306634 ckemper7 https://padlet.com/ckemper7/80a9l17zkzdsqs6e/wish/1843317669 2021-10-26 00:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ckemper7/80a9l17zkzdsqs6e/wish/1843317669 ckemper7 https://padlet.com/ckemper7/80a9l17zkzdsqs6e/wish/1843320114 2021-10-26 00:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ckemper7/80a9l17zkzdsqs6e/wish/1843320114 ckemper7 https://padlet.com/ckemper7/80a9l17zkzdsqs6e/wish/1843323327 2021-10-26 00:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ckemper7/80a9l17zkzdsqs6e/wish/1843323327 ckemper7 https://padlet.com/ckemper7/80a9l17zkzdsqs6e/wish/1843353489 The Five Stages of Language Acquisition PDF]]> 2021-10-26 00:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ckemper7/80a9l17zkzdsqs6e/wish/1843353489
