Welcome to a special episode of our podcast! Today, I'm thrilled to chat with Leandra Rodríguez and Angelica Ruiz, two exceptional Spanish teachers and members of GWP, the Spanish Teacher Academy. We'll dive into our most significant takeaways from the ACTFL 2023 conference.
In This Session, We'll Cover:
The Magic of Reading: We'll explore specific strategies for reading, including the co-creation of texts, level-appropriate readings, and engaging with tic-tac-toe reading questions.
Critical Lens on Text Selection: Understanding the importance of identifying stereotypes when selecting texts. We'll discuss a fantastic tool developed by Adriana Ramirez: "Leyendo con Lupa" (Reading with a Magnifying Glass).
Innovative Classroom Jobs: Insights on how classroom jobs can enhance the learning environment.
Revolutionizing Writing: I'll share insights about the effectiveness of the 'one draft, feedback, and final draft' approach versus prolonged writing assignments supported by reading and ongoing feedback.
