Do you strive to use 90% or more target language in your classroom? Do you believe in the utility of bilingual (target language - English) vocabulary lists? Both questions generate strong opinions among language teachers - and Señor Howard uses one as an analogy for how he does the other in this thought-provoking post: http://senorhoward.com/blog/2015/09/01/the-vocab-list-analogy/

Related to 90%+ target language use, here is a recent blog post from senorfernie about how he explains how he gets his beginning students comfortable with the idea that they’ll be hearing so much target language in his class: https://senorfernie.wordpress.com/2015/08/31/getting-students-comfortable-with-tl90plus/
