    There are notes that should be investigated here, too - government quality indicator proposal (#3), students disappearing (#5). I think you will find the article very interesting - even if the study was done on a required course for students in "College of Hospitality, Retail, and Sport Management"

  • Encourage students to have silent conversations using Google Docs. Choose a theme and have each student select a color for their responses. Make sure they share the document with you too, so that you can monitor and comment.

      I love this idea of using google docs for interpretive activities
  • In order to help students better master the units we teach, remember these rules when selecting activities:They must be authentic. They should always be engaging. Activities should be varied. They need to be focused on the unit theme. Perhaps most importantly, they should force students to use the target language.

      This reminds me of the assessment class I took at CARLA where I learned about the importance of using authentic materials to help boost student engagement and language learning.
  • f we make activities genuine, our students will be much more inclined to participate, acquiring new knowledge in the process.

      I think authenticity refers to authentic materials and authentic tasks. What are real things native speakers would do?

    This site has some awesome ideas! I can't wait to start planning for the upcoming school year!
  • vivianfranco on 22 Jul 17
     
    Amazing blog! I really like the explanation they provide for authenticity since it is not just decoration of the classroom with the cultural aspects of the target language. I will be using some of the activities they suggest :-)
  • rfrisch125 on 23 Jul 17
     
    This great. I am not comfortable with the modes. This blog will help me to associate the modes with activities which will be more meaningful for me.
  • heidikreutzer on 23 Jul 17
     
    Always good to have a list like this on hand! I also like the breakdown by modes.

    This is such a valuable resource. While it felt validating to see some of the activities that I already use on these lists, they also gave me new ideas to try for next semester. I am sure students will appreciate the variety.

    I have used both Veinte Mundos and Paperboy--Wondering if I can use EdPuzzle/ Playposit, or Diigo with these-- I think that will help with greater student engagement and my ability to track what they are 'doing' with these resources-- It is not enough to assign them to watch/ read, I need to provide the activity to accompany it.

    this one is a keeper.
  • atsukofrederick on 11 Aug 18
     
    If a tech device is not available for all students in class, you can do silent talk using a pen and paper. I used to call this activity "Pencil Talk"
  • barichetti on 12 Aug 18
     
    This seems like an excellent article/suggestion. I really enjoy using Google Docs and am excited to look into that.
  • nleisenheimer on 13 Jul 19
     
    I, too, was planning to bookmark this piece. I appreciated that it was organized by the different modes.
  • leahmyott on 16 Jul 20
     
    Focusing on authenticity makes students more inclined to participate. In addition, activities should be engaging, varied, focused on the unit theme and force students to use the target language. This article has suggestions for engaging activities for the interpretive, interpersonal and presentational mode. Many of these activities use technology, and the author provides links to the apps. A very useful and quick read.

    I really like the idea of doing an email activity with my students! Thank you for posting this article! Great ideas!
  • cbbbcb on 18 Jul 20
     
    Now I have another question: what role does a textbook play in our instruction? Do we need to get rid of materials written for language learners?

  • All it takes is a QR reading app on a smartphone to quickly and instantly hear the student’s voice.
  • On Wheel Decide, teachers can type in the words that they want displayed on the wheel and on each click the wheel spins and lands on a random color.

    Instagram is something I haven't looked at at all - it would be interesting to see how / if others use it for school
  • sarahbeeman on 27 Jul 17
     
    This has multiple ideas --many of which we have already seen!
  • Ergan Xu on 31 Jul 17
     
    It is a great summary for technology tools. Some of them we have already started in class, and some of them I will definitely explore in the future!

    This is a good reference that was made as a blog for Arabic Grammar, that I use all the time when teaching Arabic.I think the group can use the same idea and create simple grammar lessons in FL, these lessons can be useful for all the teachers teaching for example French, German all over the world.
