2071. Pushing students up to learn positively



If you’re a non-native teacher of English and you’re trying to create and make up an atmosphere where English is the vehicle language, and you shift to Spanish a few times, so as to explain something a bit more complex, I’d tell you to go back to English, to hold the immersion up. 

You can have a group of beginners or false beginners. 

I would tell you to use English all the time. The point here is that you’ll have to explain with given words, 
by using the whiteboard, 
by using real objects (realia), 
drawings on the board or posters, 
worksheets, 
cognates (similar words in both languages). 

Thus the teaching and learning will be a slope or gradient upward. / Photo from: cow-eating-on-round-top-hill-mike-mcglothlen fineartamerica com
