TEACHING MATERIAL
·
Rong-Chang/ESL fast
has different shopping related reading and audio material. It’s a little
challenging to navigate and discover, but there’s a lot. Also great for student
home practice. Show students in class how to access it, and they can practice
reading and listen to the audio (on a computer or their smartphones)
Conversation Starters
Teacher David Fobair shared some
intermediate/advanced shopping conversation classes with us (see excerpt
below). Check out the complete (editable) Word Document on the shopping wiki (alc-money.wikispaces.com)
Thanks, David!

Teacher Tip: Embedding Quizlet into your
lessons
 This
post was contributed by Quizlet Teacher Ambassador, José
Juan Cruz Pérez, who specializes in teaching Spanish online.
When José posts new lessons, he uses Quizlet's embed
option to add interactive activities for his students.
See a great example in one of his lessons on clothing vocabulary below:
Have you used Quizlet in class? Have good
sets to share? If you let us know, we can put together a list.

Imagery and Language
This post will describe some ways in which
teachers can use photography to support literacy standards. Photography
supports literacy in several ways:
1. It
is an excellent way to provide differentiation for English-language learners.
2. It
relieves pressure from reluctant students or striving readers and writers by
providing the opportunity to read and analyze photographs instead of
traditional print texts.
3. It
represents a culturally responsive teaching method as it demonstrates a way
to welcome all voices in the classroom to be heard and valued.
