Without communication, language is meaningless

Perhaps the most valuable assessment tool for foreign languages is a student’s audio timeline wherein is evidence of how well, how often, and how effectively they can use their target language. In fact I don’t know how teachers manage without it, or why award bodies don’t demand it. #tefl #mfl #langchat #mfltwitterati #eTwinning #earlylang #flippedclassroom #blendedlearning #Vygotsky #humanize #lovelanguages #DLIC #language #curriculum #actfl #edutwitter #celebratespeaking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZMwAOHSE-Y

Asynchronous and synchronous audio

When providing opportunities for language practice there is both asynchronous and synchronous audio, video or text. Either mode is a key to success in communication. #tefl #mfl #langchat #mfltwitterati #eTwinning #earlylang #flippedclassroom #blendedlearning #Vygotsky #humanize #lovelanguages #DLIC #language #curriculum #actfl #edutwitter #celebratespeaking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c73xiAZaco

Speaking Confidence

Speaking a foreign language requires a confidence acquired only through regular, structured, teacher controlled, practice opportunities. #tefl #mfl #langchat #mfltwitterati #eTwinning #earlylang #flippedclassroom #blendedlearning #Vygotsky #humanize #lovelanguages #DLIC #language #curriculum #actfl #edutwitter #celebratespeaking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuxlHpIzIn4
