Episode Synopsis

In this episode we are talking about 90%+ target language use in the classroom.  We start with where this comes from and why we want to do it, then I ask 4 questions about what is happening in your classroom.  These questions will help to focus on some of the challenge areas and I provide some ways to address them.Q1: Are prompts and tasks at the appropriate proficiency level?Q2. Do students have the language tools they need to communicate?Q3. Are students held accountable for using the target language?Q4. Are all the students actively engaged and interested?Links referenced in this episode:Blog post on the above Q&ABlog post on Target Language Use and Student AccountabilityEpisode #17 with Tracey Rucker (Co-Created Classrooms)Connect with Joshua and the World Language Classroom CommunityWork with Joshua either in person or remotely.Sign up for Talking Points, my weekly newsletter with tips, tools and resources for language teachers.wlclassrom.comTwitter:  @wlclassroomInstagram:  @wlclassroomFacebook:  /wlclassroomWLClassroom Facebook GroupSend me a text and let me know your thoughts on this episode or the podcast.
