In an upper level class you could combine the #7 Top 10 list with this article about why students don't keep studying a language: http://www.veintemundos.com/magazines/102-en/<br /><br />Also, a really simple (almost no prep!!) activity I've done on the first day is 'connections' as I say true statements about myself so students get to know me a little and then if it's also true for them they need to stand up and say in the target language 'me too! / me neither' and then I ask a few questions (PQA) to those standing. After we PQA that statement they sit down and I share another true statement about myself. I usually include just random statements in the target language that I've thought up ahead of time or on the spot: I attended a wedding this summer, I don't have any sisters, I don't like dogs, I love sports, I went camping this summer, I've lived in another city/country etc.<br /><br />It's a great way to make connections with students and offer them lots of CI. I also love it b/c it can be just for a few minutes if needed or quite an extended activity. After a while you can ask for volunteers to make a statement and see who has a connection to 'Andrew' or even have them break up into small groups and/or pairs to continue. Often on the first day, our classes are unequal b/c we have an assembly in the morning so classes are shorter in the a.m. but then in longer afternoon classes we can spend more time on thisJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16853219827108681344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898729898073581154.post-16937385761984739932014-08-01T10:09:01.621-04:002014-08-01T10:09:01.621-04:00Thanks for all the great ideas!Thanks for all the great ideas!M-town Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04390290037137242614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898729898073581154.post-12990904070580622592014-07-31T21:13:14.439-04:002014-07-31T21:13:14.439-04:00Thank you for sharing your presentation!Thank you for sharing your presentation!Señora Hitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07909827381087226676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898729898073581154.post-50826943906063889812014-07-31T13:39:30.817-04:002014-07-31T13:39:30.817-04:00Thank you Cynthia for your wonderful ideas!!!
