Key position of ACTFL: 90% of instruction in the target language
*”language educators and their students use the target language as exclusively as possible (90% plus) at all levels of instruction during instructional time and, when feasible, beyond the classroom."
Turn to your partner
Avoid lecturing and using English to derive meaning for the students
Have students use circumlocution
Paraphrase and give opposites
Comprehensible input (gestures/symbols/pictures)
TPR and circle questioning
Can I simplify or use pictures, materials or props?
Can I substitute a different concept?
Can I delay the topic?
The majority expect to actually use the language.
Motivation is a rational decision; people make a decision to engage in something or not.
