I have a Facebook page for students, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BonnieJeanNicholas/" rel="nofollow">Bonnie's English Page</a> and another for instructors <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EALStories/" rel="nofollow">Teaching EAL</a> but they're small-scale. I'd like to move more towards working out loud.

The Emerging Practice Guidelines document is full of many examples of disrespect for instructors. If I treated my learners this way, they would be very angry.

Last year, when I was teaching about health, I could not find an easy video and I decided to create a very simple one with my husband. We had fun and my students laughed a lot when they watched it. :-)Learning to Learn Languages with Cintiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14859139194703151439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828415387916366867.post-49995578837562756012018-03-04T08:29:50.515-08:002018-03-04T08:29:50.515-08:00Thank you for the nice comment, Cintia.
