“Our toolkit includes engaging, supplementary activities to foster critical thinking, creativity, responsibility, and independence in a foreign language or ESL classroom.”
on September 21, 2014I teach French 8th through 12th grade. This has to be the most hands on, practical teaching tool, I have seen in a long time. It is indeed very student centered and project oriented. It includes rubrics with each project. It s a great investment. It is a great inspiration on days when as a teacher I just run out of fun ideas to ignite my students’ attention. Definitely 5 stars.
Dear Fellow Teacher,
As classroom teachers, our greatest frustrations are:
- Too many things to do and too little time in which to do them
- The preparation of lessons and assignments
- Evaluation of completed assignments
- “Active” students
- Motivating students to work and to do their best work
Differentiated Instruction and Project-Based instruction offers the greatest success in creating engaged students with minimal effort on your part. Let the students do the work!
It is never “busy” work! Differentiated Instruction and Project-Based learning consider the students’ individual and cultural learning styles with effective and challenging activities.
The purpose of our book is to show teachers how to differentiate instruction for their foreign language learners in innovative and interesting ways.
Please feel free to try any of the activities in your classrooms. We are certain your students will have fun with the lessons while learning the required content.
Our Book:
- Facilitates the inclusion of standards into the teachers’ lesson plans
- Provides teacher tips for activities which spark critical and innovative thinking
- Generates independent thinkers
