My parents spoke Mayan and little Spanish. However, immigrating to the U.S. I was told to speak only English at school. My Spanish and Mayan language was not seen as an asset. ]]> 2018-02-20 00:50:40 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_medina/kml20w796c2w/wish/233093671 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_medina/kml20w796c2w/wish/233093672 In a school setting ]]> 2018-02-20 00:50:41 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_medina/kml20w796c2w/wish/233093672 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_medina/kml20w796c2w/wish/233093703 Talking with family members who only know one language.

Its not all about learning tenses and memorizing vocabulary, although it is important. She understood that we can learn A LOT of the language if immersed into the culture. ]]> 2018-02-20 00:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_medina/kml20w796c2w/wish/233093756 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_medina/kml20w796c2w/wish/233093760 Often, I found myself in the space of learning when trying to help someone extend a deadline on a bill, try to fill out paperwork at a counter, or helping strangers communicate with each other at the sunglass hut! 
This is often an experience that involves a lot of pressure. I feel like I'm kind of a lawyer in addition to a teacher because of this...

We start with discussions, then activities, finally end with a writing or drawing segment to make connections.

Sometimes corrective, sometimes recasting. I want my students to practice formulating sentences correctly as well as use appropriate  and more complex vocabulary.
