Can you relate to the challenge of making your language classes comprehensible and engaging? I get it. Balancing the importance of facilitating target language comprehensibility with the reality of students at different levels of proficiency and varying levels of motivation is hard. That’s why you’re going to love this episode.
In this week’s episode, I dive deep into the nuances of using target language in class and making it comprehensible. I will go beyond the theory. I'll explore different strategies to keep our interactions with students comprehensible and also our content.
If you're a language teacher looking for ideas to use more target language in class that is comprehensible to your students this year, this episode is tailored just for you.
Highlights:
- Discover what we should be using the target language for in class, how much of it, and how comprehensible it should be.
- Specific strategies to make our interactions with students comprehensible so that not only will they understand, but they will also engage.
- More strategies to make all our texts (print and audio) comprehensible for our students, even those authentic materials for upper-level classes.
