I like today’s class
session. I enjoyed learning different ways to say hello in different languages.
I’m planning to create a poster using the hand out that Dr. Rivera shared to us
and post it in my classroom. That way, my students and I can practice greeting
one another from different languages. At the same time, we are able to
recognize and celebrate the uniqueness of other language.
I also enjoyed our
discussion on Chapter 2 Second Language Acquisition and our class activity
"Jigsaw". I wasn't able to read Chapter 2 so through everyone’s
well-organized presentation, I was able to gain knowledge and had a better
understanding of language acquisition. Awesome job everyone!

Kumusta Jenny,
ReplyDeleteI too feel that our discussion on Language acquisition was very interesting. Although, I have heard of some of the theories but not quite understand it, today I got closer to a better understanding.
I thought the jigsaw was really fun to do. I really want to do it with my class. I should be more determined on implementing it ^_^
ReplyDeleteI learned a lot too in class tonight through everyone's presentation. I am not able to finish the reading but through all the presentations I gain lots of understanding about chapter 2.
ReplyDeleteBula Jenny,
ReplyDeleteBula means hello in Fijian (Fiji). I had so much fun in class today. I wasn't able to complete reading the chapter too but I was so glad that we did the jigsaw activity because I had a better understanding of the chapter now. I wanted to say "Haisa hachigechig" thank you everyone in Woleaian for your well-organized presentation of the different sections of the chapter.
Jenny, I am going to blow up the different language greetings on a larger poster and use it in my classroom someday. Have a great and safe weekend!:)
Beauty, Fast Copy does that. I will add the goodbye greeting too. I will share it to everyone as soon as I'm done.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny! The activity of saying "Hello" in different languages was fun! IT made me realize that, this school year, I have made little attempt in learning my students languages, nor have I asked them to share their language in my class. I've been so busy focusing on drilling letter identification, number sense, and blending c-v-c words that I never took the time to ask them about them.
ReplyDeleteTonight's activity was a good reminder.
