Yes, I agree. That's one reason I use #AuthenticTexts infrequently but regularly -- they need to get used to NOT understanding everything and persisting anyways. I'm the teacher and there is still seldom a time I understand EVERYTHING because I am not a native user of the language I teach. #LangChat

#LangChat if you do use #authres #AuthenticTexts (especially if you use them with novices), what kinds of texts do you use?

#HoningOurCraft #Multiliteracies

An example of how I use #AuthRes #AuthenticTexts is that for the past several weeks my Spanish 1 students have been reading the CI novel #Laritza by Kristy Placido. One day, I asked them to read authentic infographics about Hispanics in the US. #LangChat

This week I read chapter 3 of #HoningOurCraft, on #Multiliteracies Pedagogy. The author is Amy L. Clay. #AuthenticTexts #LiteraciesPractices #LangChat
