¡Hola! Bonjour! Annyeonghaseyo!
Thanks for reading SLAyyy: Second Language Acquisition for Everyone!! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support our work.
Today, Thursday November 5, we will host the last live chat of the book Learner Feedback for Language Growth. We will be discussing chapters 9 and 10. Chapter 9 covers the last Performance Domain Indicator: Communication Strategies. And Chapter 10 jumps into every language learner’s favorite topic: Grading and Reporting. All are welcome to join, whether you have read these chapters or not!
Check out the questions below, and join us tonight, Thursday, November 5 at 8 P.M. Eastern / 7 P.M. Central / 5 P.M. Pacific time at https://slayyypod.com/chat
“Communication Strategies” are not something that I was explicitly taught as a young language learner. How about you? Do you teach and assess this performance domain? How?
Budke, Nickel, and Strauss suggest using a Chat Mat to train students in using communication strategies. Do you use chat mats? Have you tried a Communications Strat Chat Mat? What do you think your learners would need on theirs?
How can you align your grade book with the Performance Domain Indicators?
How do you ensure that grades reflect what the learners can do (and not just classroom behaviors)?
What questions do YOU have that we haven’t discussed yet — about chapters 9, 10, or anything we skipped from a previous chapter?
We’re looking forward to more great discussions this week :)
Bill, Ben, Stacy
