  • The Latest in L2 Pedagogy

    In an academic context where standards and pedagogy are written in sometimes hard to understand ways, Joshua Cabral turns these materials into Comprehensible Input.

    I’m a graduate student taking a course on teaching world language. For every class period, Josh has an episode that aligns with and clarifies the topic. I highly recommend this show for anyone training to become a language teacher, current language teachers, and any language learner who wants to set goals.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Language Learning Through Music and Film with Sybil Sanchez Jacome
Q: What about assessment—how do songs or film clips fit into evaluation?
There is an assessment built into thematic units where songs and films contribute to vocabulary development, discussion, and higher-level tasks like annotation of cultural practices and role-based scenarios; students don't need to master every detail, but should demonstrate understanding and communication in the target language.
Language Learning Through Music and Film with Sybil Sanchez Jacome
Q: What's one simple strategy that you would recommend to find success with it right away?

National Board Certification for Language Teachers with Erin E.H. Austin and Lisa Bartels
Q: So Erin, at a high level, what does the National Board Certification process look like for a World Language teacher?
There are four main components plus a proficiency test: content knowledge with essays, differentiating instruction with a portfolio, teaching practice with videos and analysis, and being an effective, reflective practitioner, followed by an Actful speaking and writing proficiency test; world language teachers must meet higher proficiency requirements.
Promoting and Sustaining Language Programs with Ann Leclair Ash
Q: What might be a mindset shift or an actionable step that can help build momentum in their classroom?
