About Me
Straight from college into the FLAP grant program
3rd year teaching French at Mahwah High School
![Page 3: Putting theory into practice How my participation in the FLAP grant has influenced my teaching](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020111/56649eb35503460f94bbb345/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Today’s Presentation
What I learned from the program about selecting resources and structuring activities
Strategies for putting this knowledge to practice in the classroom
The effect such strategies have had on my teaching
![Page 4: Putting theory into practice How my participation in the FLAP grant has influenced my teaching](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020111/56649eb35503460f94bbb345/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
In this mode, students demonstrate
understanding of spoken and written communication within appropriate cultural contexts.
Beyond the Novice level, “interpretation” differs from “comprehension” because it implies the ability to read “between the lines”

The Interpretive Mode

Let’s Talk Resources
What resources do you use for your interpretive activities?
What criteria do you use in selecting these resources?

Selecting Appropriate Resources
Should all be authentic- created by native speakers and intended for native speakers
At the novice level, resources should be
- Short - Supported by visual cues - Contain repetition

Where can I find these authentic
materials?
Here is a collection of the 8 resources that I have found most useful in generating interpretive
activities.

Making the Most of Our Resources
Think about the most recent interpretive activity you did in class.
1. What did you ask your students to do with this resource?
2. What do you stress and/or avoid when generating interpretive activities?
Take a minute and discuss your latest interpretive activity with some one from another
district.

Read between the lines Identify where in the text/audio they
found their responses Use specific information from the
text/audio in support of their own reasoning/opinions
What Do Effective Interpretive Questions
Require Students to Do?

Types of questions
Key word recognition Main idea Supporting details Deducing the meaning of new words Inference questions and cultural
connections
Identifying organizational features Determining the author/speaker’s
intent

Technology Example

For the lower levels, it is preferable to
generate interpretive activities in L1 since we are focusing on comprehension of the
text, not the questions.
This will also prevent students from lifting information from the text that they do not
understand.
Use of L1 v L2
![Page 29: Putting theory into practice How my participation in the FLAP grant has influenced my teaching](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020111/56649eb35503460f94bbb345/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Lifting information refers to one’s ability to
correctly isolate a desired response within a text without understanding the meaning of the question and/or response.
Confusing? Just read the following paragraph and see if you can answer my questions.
What does that mean, “lifting information”?
![Page 30: Putting theory into practice How my participation in the FLAP grant has influenced my teaching](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020111/56649eb35503460f94bbb345/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

If you answered these questions correctly, you successfully “lifted information” from the text.
To prevent students from “lifting information” we need to be careful how we word our questions.
Can you lift?

Modify the Task, Not the Text
Because our resources are authentic, they will contain language and structures unfamiliar students
For challenging resources, we don’t need to edit the text or “dumb down” the language for students.
Instead, try to modify the task. Give them support in what you ask them to do.
By adjusting what you ask students to do, you can use one resource across multiple proficiency levels.
