On p 256 is a rubric to assess ourselves. One of my glowing points is "I can identify patterns of errors and patterns of strength in student work in order to provide growth-oriented written corrective feedback." In fact, I did that today as I graded letters students had written.

On page 226, the authors write "You may have also noticed that this feedback is in English." WHAT? After admonishing us to teach grammar in the target language, now we're giving feedback in English? I mean, yeah, that's how *I* do it with my novices in levels 1 and 2.

Finally, I feel the “control” continues to be vaguely defined, and as a teacher, I feel I need something more concrete. Sometimes I feel that I overestimate “control”, when a student’s low proficiency scores tell a different story. It’s frustrating! #langchat #SLAyyy
Second, as someone who has had students take STAMP or AAPPL since 2016, I feel very strongly that ACTFL’s definition of “control” is not the same as what is used to grade these tests. #langchat #SLAyyy
Same! I’d like to learn more about dictogloss & give it a try. Mike talked about it on Joshua Cabral’s podcast.

Oral corrective feedback! What should I say AND how do I know the student really “gets” what my feedback means? #langchat #SLAyyy
Chapter 7 discussion prompt reading: "After reading this chapter, what questions do you have? It made you go, huh?"
Chapter 7 discussion prompt: "What is something you read that makes you feel you are doing well? It made you go, I've got this! Time to brag - tell us about your strengths."
i am familiar with the idea of a 'glow and grow' comment bank for use by teachers. I have even used one occasionally. What i haven't done is put this in the hands of students to use for peer feedback. I will use it this week as students finish their letters to their pen pals.

Chapter 7 discussion prompt reading: "What's something you read that was new to you? It made you go, Oh! I could use this!"
Chapter 7 discussion prompt reading: "What's something you read in this chapter that you realize you could improve, or that has been hard for you? It made you go oops! Or maybe you already knew that this is not your strong point, and that's why you're reading this chapter!"
This came up as @stacywitkowski.bsky.social pointed out how a target for an Intermediate-Low lesson was present tense, third person singular verb forms. We assume that that is acquired early. But is it? At what ACTFL levels "should" each form be considered "acquired"? #LangChat #SLAyyy
I have been struggling with the thought that the ACTFL Performance Descriptors / Proficiency Levels may not actually describe language acquisition? Like...they might just describe language for use in specific situations, but not how the brain actually acquires language... #LangChat #SLAyyy
It seems to follow the principles laid out in Chapter 5: Focus on meaning, target form is out at the front, no other giveaway content words...

I made a Structured Input task a couple of years ago based on my reading of "Common Ground" (Henshaw/Hawkins) to introduce the use of different auxiliaries in the Perfect Tense in German. Based on my reading of this chapter, it still holds up! (See next post for the link!) #LangChat #SLAyyy
And the idea that students can do similar "sorting" and "ranking" tasks with oral and written input as part of Structured Input tasks never dawned on me. If we use familiar language, we can achieve the same ends, AND sharpen their ears for listening. #LangChat #SLAyyy
The transition from "referential" to "affective" answers for Structured Input activities interested me. I can see how moving from clear, right/wrong, concrete answers towards expressing personal meaning provides a useful onramp from input to output. #SLAyyy #LangChat
This seems like an unnecessary demand on learners' cognitive resources when they are still building a foundation of acquired language. Why have them do this in the Target Language? At that point, my feeling is "just give the grammar point summary succinctly in English, and move on" #LangChat #SLAyyy
I was flabbergasted by the recommendation to have students do the Co-Construction in PACE in the Target Language. Language patterns are a highly abstract topic - not in the realm of topics usually under the control of Novices or even Intermediates. #LangChat #SLAyyy
Structured Input activities seem like a good middle way to keep the focus on meaning, while also helping students process grammatical items. #LangChat #SLAyyy
For me, this chapter was about balancing comprehensible input and grammar instruction. I tend to go all CI like 98% of the time, but when I hit grammar, it's explicit instruction in concentrated doses. #LangChat #SLAyyy
My biggest TA is that I need to give students more structured opportunities to talk in Spanish. I HATED the information gap speaking activities that my textbook required, and they were one of the first things I dropped. But I hadn't found a way to replace them. Until now.

They say we shouldn't tell students our goal is to use certain grammar. I get that "Write a letter and ask 5Q in the preterite" is a bad task. But I think it's appropriate to say that one of our goals this unit is to be able to express things that happened in the past. Am I wrong?
