Sharon has a kind of complex question:
Ben,
I’d like to know how you handle new students who transfer into your class in the middle of the semester with no background with TPRS. How do you do it without translating every single thing you are saying? I teach only Spanish 1 and 2, and so far they have been Spanish 1 students.
This week, however, second semester, in the middle of the course, and I just had two more transfer in, one each of my two Spanish 1 classes. If I tell you that I’m thinking about pairing them with a strong student and allowing some “side conversation” in spite of jGR, [what do you think of that]?
