“est-ne manifestum?”
This is so simple yet so incredible! I still struggle in some of my classes with kids not signaling when they don’t understand. Admitting that you don’t understand something in a public setting can be really hard to do, especially if you think you’re “supposed” to understand. Telling a teacher that “they are being unclear” feels so much safer. Thanks for sharing Corrado’s insight with the group. I am totally using that next year.
I just changed my rule list. Great suggestion. We are sending the message that we are taking responsibility for our 50%.
Here is my new poster:
Classroom Rules
1. Listen with the intent to understand.
2. One person speaks and the others listen.
3. Suggest cute answers.
4. No English.
5. If the teacher is not clear tell him/her.
6. Sit up…Squared shoulders….Clear eyes.
7. Do your 50%.
8. Actors – synchronize your actions with my words.
9. Nothing on desks unless told otherwise.
I so love this group. How great to put the onus on me!
This reminds me, John, of something we were taught in language school in Costa Rica. You don’t ask someone, “¿Entiendes?” Do you understand? Instead you ask them, “¿Me explico?” Am I explaining myself? As Chill says above, it puts the onus on us.
Thanks, Larry. “Me explico” belongs in my school’s list of Useful Expressions we have chosen for the year.
My pleasure, Nathaniel. I’m glad to hear it, is IS a useful expression.
¿Está claro?
Very clever. Not only does it put the responsibility for being comprehensible where it belongs, but it also makes it so much easier for students to signal their discomfort.
