Here are a couple of semi-humorous videos I hurriedly put together to help our administration perceive what real language learning is and why the instructor is so important. They challenge a few of the exaggerations of today’s metaphors of language learning.
1) How much language do we learn in classrooms whose format parallels that of Dora (The great English/Educational framework)? (Video: “How Much Spanish”)
2) How important are context and situation in Language Learning (the two principal dynamic elements that only an instructor can add to the classroom)? (Video: “Language without Cultural Context”)
