Immediate Immersion LIVE! — Let's Talk Notebooks!

In this episode of Immediate Immersion LIVE! we talk about everything and anything regarding notebooks in the comprehensible-input classroom. I share my ideas about how I use notebooks in my classroom and viewers shared their ideas as well.

One-Verb Stories - Highly targeted and focused stories to maximize language acquisition.

Typically when we ask a story, we generally focus on three different verbs and that works great! But every once in a while there might be a need to really laser in on only one verb. This verb might be particularly difficult, particularly important, or one that students often mess up.

Crazy Convos - Engage your students in FUN conversations.

Conversations are a great way to connect with students! Conversations are real language and demonstrate both comprehension and production.

Reading - Develop Written Comprehension

Literacy is such an important skill when it comes to language acquisition. Not only do we want our students to be able to speak the language, we also want them to be able to read and understand it.

Conversations - How to get to know your students and build relationships through language.

Conversations are the first step in the Immediate Immersion Way. They are a way to get to know your students and build solid student relationships through the target language.

Ask-a-Story - the HEART of Comprehensible Input

Parents sing and talk to their babies about the world around them. They keep vocabulary simple, but they don't shelter their grammar. They use whatever grammar is necessary to communicate their message. This is how they acquire the language, the vocabulary, and the grammar in context.
