From: http://jramonele.blogspot.com/2019/11/el-uso-de-los-cuestionarios-de.html
Taking the technology available in our daily lives and making it beneficial in the language classroom is every teacher’s technological dream. This author makes that dream possible by showing how teachers can utilize the questionnaire feature on Instagram stories for language learning. This feature allows answer tracking and the ability to ask a huge range of questions. While this article posits Instagram questionnaires to Spanish-speaking contexts, it could, of course, be used in any language classroom where the teacher and students have reliable access to technology.

Title: Struggling as a Student
Body:
From: http://todallycomprehensiblelatin.blogspot.com/2019/11/struggling-as-student.html
The experience of being a student is one that is often forgotten when you’ve been teaching for awhile. This article encourages teachers to remember the panic they felt when things did not come easy to them and the struggle it often takes to succeed in a class. It also suggests teachers engage with difficult subjects and maybe take a course that will be hard for them to re-cultivate their empathy for students' struggles.

Title: Deep Learning & Critical Thinking: A Look at the Types of Puzzles which Facilitate Learning
Body:
Mixed-Reality Complex Learning Scenarios (MRCLSs) are comprised of a series of puzzles and riddles to move the learner through the learning experience. One key piece of the development (see last week’s InterCom Topic of the Week for more on scenario development) is the design of puzzles to fit the language function and the task. While they can be used across a variety of learning tasks, a good understanding of possible puzzles can be helpful when designing your own experiences. Here, we summarize a few possible puzzle types to get you started. This week’s Activity of the Week provides an example of each.
- Cipher: A visual representation of letters and shapes which can be decoded to discover secret messages. You can create your own or use the common Freemasons Pig Pen Cipher to write secret messages.
- Clues & Letters: In these puzzles, learners use clues to fill in a series of blanks. Then, the highlighted letters are unscrambled to reveal another clue.
- Acrostic: A text in which one set of words, such as the first word or third word, form a phrase when read vertically.
- Hidden Messages: Letters are hidden in a text to form a phrase or word. This can include misspellings, extra capital letters, italics, or another type of formatting to make the letters distinct from the rest.
Regardless of the puzzle type(s) you choose, their use can create conditions for learners to read texts closely, delve into content, and use language in ways not typically done.

Title: Oregon International Internship Program: Bringing Asia to Oregon
Body:
“OIIP gives students interested in education an opportunity to learn and put their skills into practice right away,” says East Asia Programs Director Li-Hsien Yang.
The program offers both six-month and ten-month durations, depending on students’ English language skills. Those who need additional language support complete English language courses prior to beginning their internship.
For students who want a short-term summer or spring break option, the Oregon Experience Program (OEP) provides two-, three-, or four-week courses. Students develop intercultural connections, explore global issues, and receive hands-on experience. Students can select topics to explore, including astronomy, business communication, and health and sustainability.

Title: Example Puzzle Mechanics for Complex Learning Scenarios
Body:
This week's Activity of the Week is a departure from our normal format. Instead of providing a typical classroom activity, we model a series of puzzle mechanics that could be used in a Mixed-Reality Complex Learning Scenario (MRCLS). It is important to note that while MRCLSs prime certain learning outcomes and learner interactions, learners' strategies for participatipon will likely differ, and the outcomes depend greatly on each puzzle itself. As such, we have articulated possible learning outcomes for each puzzle type, but urge that these outcomes should not be interpreted as absolute.
Materials: Professor Memorization Puzzles (answer key on last page)
Puzzles
Puzzle 1: In this decoding puzzle, learners connect a numeric system to the alphabet. It could easily be adapted to connect other systems that aid in communication. Ffor example, a series of emojis could indicate numbers, letters, or words. This mechanic can be used to help learners discover targeted and salient content and explore multiliteracies.
Puzzle 2: In this hidden messages puzzle, learners must read targeted content and uncover a concept revealed through the intentional incorporation of errors. This mechanic can be used to help learners engage in editorial processes, to read for detail, to read for main ideas, and to uncover critical content such as targeted vocabulary or concepts.
Puzzle 3: In this cipher puzzle, learners use a cipher to discover a key idea. This mechanic can be used to build schemata and to scaffold the understanding and analysis of a complex concept.
Puzzle 4: In this clues and letters puzzle, learners complete a crossword puzzle with assumed previous knowledge. This knowledge leads to the discovery of new content. This mechanic is great for building learner access and relevance as it invites previous knowledge sets in the development of new ones.
Puzzle 5: In this hidden messages puzzle, learners use their vocabulary knowledge to uncover a targeted word. This mechanic is great for exploring morphemes and other semantic patterns. Additionally, depending on the articulation of the content, it can be used to help learners build awareness of the impact of the utterances they create.
