It talks about how valuable two way immersion can be and how much it has benefitted the local Latino community. I think it relates well to our class discussion on translanguaging since students can perform in the language that they feel most authentic in, rather than being forced to do everything in just one. ]]> 2022-09-08 02:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2287409891 dlau20 https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2287418024 We also watched this video about Holy Cross Elementary's dual immersion program. It goes into their use of the 90-10 model where Spanish is used 90 percent of the day and English for the rest. I found it really fascinating how the model not only helps with their language skills but also allows for cross-cultural learning and understanding on both sides (English and Spanish). ]]> 2022-09-08 02:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2287418024 dlau20 https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2287419869 2022-09-08 02:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2287419869 dlau20 https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2287423112 This video explains the benefits of bilingualism very well.

In class, we talked about how in India they use "prepone" for the US's version of "postpone," and it's interesting to learn about the history of the dictionary and how much power there is in adding a word to the dictionary. Those words become validated, and this has great importance in other areas like gender studies and other areas where language is constantly being developed to reflect identities more accurately. ]]> 2022-09-08 02:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2287435305 dlau20 https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2287438545 This video touched on the neurological side of speech, which could be useful to know when teaching spoken communication to learners. ]]> 2022-09-08 02:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2287438545 dlau20 https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2287445733 This article comes directly from the TESOL website, and it gives a really useful example in how to build a lesson and how to manage the classroom. ]]> 2022-09-08 02:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2287445733 dlau20 https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2413872980 This is an interesting take on using gaming as a vehicle for learning. ]]> 2022-12-08 05:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2413872980 dlau20 https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2413877752 For a higher-level understanding of sociocultural theory, watch this video. ]]> 2022-12-08 05:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2413877752 dlau20 https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2413882069 This video provides a brief overview of the communicative approach. ]]> 2022-12-08 05:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2413882069 dlau20 https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2413886845 This is an interesting paper that found that in order for the communicative approach to effectively improve students' oral language skills, they need to be encouraged to actively participate in communicative activities as well as be provided metalinguistic and elicitation feedback (oftentimes through oral interaction with the teacher).]]> 2022-12-08 05:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2413886845 dlau20 https://padlet.com/dlau20/r3ntkei94mvrahlv/wish/2413890136 This paper talks about Bangladesh as a case study of some of the drawbacks of implementing the communicative approach on a largely limited scale.
