I am going to have to dig deep; I am having to dig deep. We are in the thick of spring, and I'm thinking about my transition to new teaching positions which may involve teaching newcomers and incorporating even more picture clues and grammatical communicative tasks.
This morning, I was thinking about my beloved French teacher from middle school, Madame P. I need to think about how much fun I had learning French, and how I was fascinated by her ability to prepare--by hand, with her whimsical sketches--her quizzes and tests. They were both fun and challenging.
I also need to think about the high school ESL teachers who seemed to have a similar spirit in being able to work on the fly,quickly preparing picture support to accompany supported text.
It can be done...I can make it challenging and fun!
