#LangChat is dedicated to the discussion of topics associated with issues and trends in world language instruction and learning. Educators, administrators, learners, and aficionados of world languages are encouraged to participate and share their experiences and input on various topics such as new ways to teach vocabulary, using music in the language classroom, and making standards-based grading valid. This chat is also unique in that it brings together language educators worldwide and from different contexts (elementary, secondary, higher education, etc.) and languages.
your essential question should figure into your unit assessment. your prompt can bring in elements of your essential question. @lterrillindy#langchat#langbook
#langbook#langchat So glad we're on this topic! Why have I heard some teachers be so anti-theme lately (ACTFL workshop commentary)? Glad to hear it's not 'everyone'. Themed units = high frequency/repetition/CI.
Hey, @AATSPSC , @AATSPglobal , and #langchat folks—looking for a teaching position at a school that will support your specialized professional development with paid @actfl and @SCFLTA memberships??? Look into this position!

#langbook I am working with teachers to do this work. All of you are great models - I've encouraged folks to get onto #langchat and follow you, and ask questions and for examples! Beware...
I don't count - not sure if that's good or bad. We finish when we're done, LOL. Has interest lessoned? Is there a more interesting current event we need to run with? Have the students mastered the TL goal? Yes? Next! #langbook#langchat
