Hi everyone
Hi everyone, Although I haven't been able to participate in the sessions because I had to teach, I've enjoyed the sessions. I have a few questions: 1. Penny - you mentioned that it's a good idea to have students translate the text into their own language. I always thought that was a bad idea because then the student isn't thinking in English and is more in the "translation mode". Is there research to back this up? 2. Also I'm still thinking about the circle that you showed in your first lesson of how to use teaching time. What's your take on an English reading comprehension university level course that runs for 8 hours straight every week!! How intentional can the teaching be for so many hours?
