3 thoughts on “Upper Level CI?”
You asked for my input here, but, Ben, I don’t have experience teaching upper levels at mainstream suburban schools. I do have experience teaching heritage students. I think the biggest difference marking these two groups of students is the degree at which upper level students have felt success as readers whereas so many of my heritage students have not. So many of my heritage students have not yet scored well on reading nor see themselves as readers nor spend much time reading.
So, for the heritage classes, the more I can get them to read for enjoyment and the less I can waste their time with silly in-depth study of big concepts or, even, deep analytical work (for most students, at least), the better.
Mike Peto and I are presenting at ACTFL this November on reading programs for Spanish heritage classes in November. It’ll be my first time at ACTFL. Will it be my last? We’ll see. lol
If you’re working with Mike, it won’t be your last. You’ll have a great time.
