Give Them What They Want: A Guide to Increasing Enrollment in World Language Class Book [Tankobon Softcover] Bryan Kandel [Tankobon Softcover] Bryan Kandel [Tankobon Softcover] Bryan Kandel - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In most schools, World Language classes are elective. Students decide which ones to take and how long to stick with them. Thus, many World Language teachers must serve as instructors and recruiters. For years, teachers, school counselors, and parents have leaned on promises of future professional advantages to persuade students to continue studying languages. Unfortunately, many World Language programs are losing the battle. Students are electing to take the minimum number of required classes and nothing more. What if there were a better way? What if students wanted to take as many World Language classes as possible? In this book, Bryan Kandel argues that language teachers need to stop trying to persuade and instead focus on providing strong classroom culture, a sense of community, opportunities for authentic communication, and dynamic class experiences. This book explores how, by focusing on these essential elements, teachers can create undeniable momentum in their classes, give students what they really want, and grow their World Language programs.
