Modern Methods on Daily Incorporation of the 3 Modes of Communication

Ever struggle with incorporating all 3 modes of communication daily? I will show you how I have transformed my classroom and evolved my students to feel strong equally among all the modes, improve their proficiency, and leave my room feeling confident about their language skills. You will leave this session with teaching materials, videos, audio, and strategies for a lifetime of free teaching resources.

Spanish Resources – Listening

 

Spell Checker – Need help grading those essays? You can focus on the content feedback while Spell Checker focuses on the spelling and grammar.

 

Example of a class video. I record and edit while the students do the choreography and practice on their own time. We record during class and takes 3-4 days. I always save this for the end of the year. It is a great bonding experience that the students take with them for years. Great memory maker.
