In this episode of 'SLA: Second Language Acquisition for Everyone', the hosts discuss the challenges and successes they've experienced in teaching over the current school year. Amidst the pressures of 'Devolson' and the search for suitable teaching materials, the discussion pivots from a planned talk on cognitive load theory to a candid check-in. The hosts share personal anecdotes about adjusting teaching strategies, student engagement, classroom dynamics, grading policies, and dual coding methods. They address the balance between imposing language structure and encouraging the natural flow of learning, while also reflecting on student motivation and participation. Emphasizing flexibility, the episode explores various pedagogical approaches, showcasing how teachers adapt to the ever-evolving classroom environment.
