My reflection on ACTFL Convention, 2025: favorite ACTFL Convention yet. The big theme for me was "making connections" to: people I got to meet in person for the 1st time, teaching & research in areas that deeply interest me, & old friends. Renewed purpose & motivation: precious.

Janique's Dutch lesson and discussion of it is now posted on YouTube, here: youtu.be/VqrMNYcMyGs Many thanks to Janique for her demonstration lesson for teaching when the teacher and students do not have a common language, and so translation or tech tools are unavailable.

From Mandarin Chinese class online, day 3: Wednesday included first experiences reading Chinese character texts together. Slow, supported, and followed up by some student-led noticing about the character forms. We learned more about what makes different dragons special, too.

I'm having fun with class! From today (day 2, second hour of class time) we were noticing which dragons have or do not have wings. Then we concluded something about Chinese & Western dragons & which have wings. And finished by making up our own dragon. Our dragon has 4 wings :D

Next week Monday through Friday morning, 9-10am US Eastern time: expressfluency.com/product/beginn…
