Episode Synopsis

In this episode we are talking about the relationship between those who do the research on teaching and learning language and those who teach  in the classroom.  [sign up for Talking Points]What can teachers take from research findings and use in their classroom?  What if the students in front of us are different (almost always the case) from those used in the study?What can researchers do to make their findings and recommendations useful for classroom teachers? There are some ways to connect the dots and there are certainly some things that we can all agree on.  We'll discuss what these agreements are and how we can make the teacher-researcher relationship  useful for all involved.Links references in this episode:Motivated classroom Podcast, Dr. Florencia Henshaw InterviewDr. Florecia Henhsaw’s YouTube and TwitterMaris Hawkins’ TwitterBlog post on Interlanguage Episode 4: What is communicative language teaching?Connect with Joshua and the World Language Classroom CommunitySign 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.
