Thank you, Leigh Anne.
That is truly inspiring. I can relate to so much of what you describe. I have seen things I never thought would happen in our district. We have a Professional Learning Community (of two) officially recognized by the district. Laurie Clarcq taught in our district and there were more attendees from outside the district than are employed in FL within the district. Some prayers have been answered.
What is yet to come? It is too early to say. But it looks like some resistance may be breaking down. The mean clowns are looking less intimidating. There are those who are ready for change but want to be sure of their jobs before challenging the Grammar-Translation fortress. (GT teach grammar rules and paradigms, have students fill in blanks, assign projects which cannot help but force students to write what they want to say in English and translate–as in google translate–to some sloppy excuse for Spanish.) I am seeing signs that the resistance may be weaker than it seems, but I want to see more before reporting results.
There is hope of a better day.
Hi, Nathaniel!
Sorry to not reply sooner — am ending my year soon…. Thanks for your reply!
I’m a stand-alone for Comprehensible Input- based learning in my school, but a few people are accepting.
Bottom line — world language teachers can be so territorial…. their territory is the entire language and culture of the Target Language. There is the idea is that the language and culture belong to the teachers.
The idea on this blog is that language belongs to everybody! Keep preachin’!
Good luck to you on your progress and I raise a glass to your determination to fight the good fight!
