Community. Is this a word that you would use to describe your classroom? Do you and your students feel like you are a part of a supporting and encouraging community each time you and they walk in your classroom? How do you create this type of learning environment? Today, Elodie Channa, a French teacher in British Columbia, Canada, joins me to bring us into her classroom community. We discuss how she uses CI (Comprehensible Input) techniques and methodology to support the classroom community and assure that her students feel valued, seen and understood.
Topics in this Episode:
- what CI is and why it’s important for language learning
- how CI can be used to build community in the language classroom
- examples from Elodie’s experience where CI significantly enhanced community and engagement in her classroom
- strategies and activities that you can use to ensure your students are receiving CI while also fostering collaboration and connection among them
- adapting CI approaches for different proficiency levels and diverse classroom settings
