Notes on Session 3 of Understanding Language Acquisition

Notes on Session 3 of Understanding Language Acquisition

My Teaching as a Work in Progress

Inclusive Pedagogy as a Tool (See January 30th Posting on Inclusive Pedagogy)

"There is a difference between being given questions to investigate. . . and being given statements. . .." (Teemant, 3-3)

My thought: I need to do that more with my students -- give them questions to investigate rather than statements of "fact."

"Questions can be applied to all classrooms, while general facts may not apply well to even one." (Teemant, 3-3)

"Teaching is listening and learning is talking." (3-9)

"Teachers need to be students of what development looks like in the particular context where they're teaching. . . " (Paul Ammon, 3-11)
