On Agency in language:!“Good learners will strive to make a foreign language more meaningful to themselves, but what is also important is that they strive to make themselves more meaningful to others through using the language.” - Jane Arnold

@SchrodingrsBrat Similar sentiment echoed by Alain de Botton

@pedrosa @pedrosa boicotei o time do Vasco por 1 mês. Moro fora do Brasil há mais de 20 anos e o Vasco é uma forma de conexão com o Brasil e minhas raizes. Hj estava em casa sozinho + um pouco triste. Resolvi então ver o jogo. Fazia tempo que não via o time com fome. Da gosto ver ❤️

Que belo gol. A base do Vasco é inesgotável. No momento difícil, brilha Estrella. Cocão fez um belo desarme, acionou Vegetti, que construiu a parede para David ligar Adson e o canhoto dar uma belíssima assistência para o estreante. O meia, com qualidade, calma, coroa seu 1°T. Excelente etapa do cria e a virada com merecimento do Vasco.

@newscolina O time está tentando mas falta encaixar a marcação - São Paulo sai fácil

Estrella se apresenta bastante para o jogo até o momento. Chega a buscar bola lá atrás.

@GeoffJordan16 This is amazing! Too bad I won’t be in bcn to attend ☹️

@GravellSam Exposure is essential for the acquisition device. Learners who place a prime on that learn much faster.

@theaieducatorX Can that be done on Zoom? I think one can do transcription? Not sure but wanted to ask.

Regularly deliver webinars? Tip: Turn on transcript in Google Meet. Feed the transcript into ChatGPT and ask it for: 1. Feedback on clarity, so you can be better next time. 2. To write a blurb in the style of Gary Halbert for your website. 3. To write a series of blog posts for your website 4. To write a series of social media posts. Better use of content > More content

@HackingChinese @spsmith45 @gianfrancocont9 @TTTthepodcast - we’ve been running it for over 5 years and I’m really proud of the guests we have had so far - lots of SLA and pedagogy. Check it out 😉

@spsmith45 @gianfrancocont9 Thanks for sharing! I'm curious if you have more podcasts to recommend, even if you might not be willing to put them on the official list. I've listened to The Motivated Classroom since the beginning, but I struggle to find good language teaching/SLA podcasts.

Interweaving principles of effective course design and pedagogy with the exciting affordances of AI, this practical session will empower teachers and course creators with a roadmap for getting the most out of these truly revolutionary tools. When: November 4th, 11 am EDT

🚨 Everyone is talking about AI! And the hype is real! Some people tend to complain about it saying that: - It doesn't feel personal. - Sometimes it gets things wrong. - It's a bit hit or miss. - And it loves fancy words a bit too much. That's all true.

In this video, they share tips on how to raise awareness of emergent language (EL) and how teachers can start working with it in their lessons.

How can teachers work with Emergent Language? This seems to be one of the most common questions teachers who want to follow a more organic approach ask us.

So, where do you stand? 👉 Do you feel teaching is always hands-on? 👉 Or do you believe our main role isn't always direct instruction? Don't miss out on our full chat with Paul Nation! Dive in at: learnyourenglish.net/podcast 🎧

And he shared this enlightening perspective. I am a firm believer that, "Just because something is taught, doesn't mean it's learned." Paul's insights were in response to why many schools haven't embraced extensive reading, despite its proven benefits in language learning.

"You've gotta believe that by NOT teaching people can learn." "For a teacher, that's a hard thing to believe in." Sounds counterintuitive, right? But that's exactly the words we heard when we had the privilege of chatting with the legendary Paul Nation on our podcast. 1/3 🧵
