Staying in L2 with my 6th graders is working so well that before I arrive to class, a student will have already written inglés on the board with a lone through it. I think they appreciate staying in one language-it’s less confusing. And it does cut back on the side comments and chattiness in the class. Now anytime I break into English for some stupid explanation the kids point to the no inglés sign! (I still can’t do this with my 7th graders-they are a difficult bunch-oh well, can’t win ’em all.) If a student speaks in English, I don’t say anything I just pause, point to the no inglés sign and keep going.
If #4 is done right, then the students are much more focused than when you are speaking English to them, because when it’s in English, they don’t have to concentrate in order to be part of the conversation, and so they tune out.
