Inquiry-Based Teaching and Learning in the World Language Classroom

Hello, language teacher! Are all of your students going to become bilingual? That may seem like an outlandish question for some. But what is stopping them from doing so?

 

I am bilingual because I chose to be. Yes, I had a lot of support. Throughout my own language learning journey I have used many, many techniques to develop knowledge and practice skills. The common thread through all the most effective techniques has been a desire to learn.

 

How can a world language teacher cultivate that desire in one's students? One very effective way is by using the radical method I focus on in this page, and I invite you to explore and try it out.

 

I want to be clear: My own experience as a language teacher is with Spanish and English as a Second Language. HOWEVER, everything on this page is for any kind of world language teacher! So, share this page with anyone you know who teaches a language!
