TitleLabeling Your Home
Body

This week's Activity of the Week is designed to get learners connecting what they are learning to their everyday lives by labeling their living space with new words and concepts. Novice learners can do this with concrete items and actions, and more advanced learners can post abstract and complex ideas.  It is also a great way to help make prepositions salient and meaningful. 

Each week, the activity is designed as an activity that can be added to your online course, parent email, or other digital delivery system AS IS. That means no modification, minimal extra time, and a way to mix things up while still balancing a whole new system. Each activity is focused on a language learning strategy, function, or interculturality standard and will work in any language. (Note: The activities are created in English but are designed for target language use in any language with adaptations for novice, intermediate, and advanced learners. This format enables remote access while still encouraging target language use.) Some ideas for using these activities include:

  • A Weekly Challenge for your students that can be used to earn participation points or extra credit.
  • An extension activity that requires reflection on the learning objectives of the course and critical thinking about how what they are learning relates to the world.
  • An activity to send home to parents and guardians for them to do with their kids.
