Get ready for another episode of "Growing With Proficiency: The Podcast"! In today's episode, I'm delighted to be joined by Dr. Karen Lichtman, a renowned expert and researcher in the field of second language acquisition and TPRS.
Join us as Dr. Lichtman shares her research findings on language acquisition, specifically focusing on TPRS, and explores their implications for our classrooms. This conversation is bound to be both fascinating and incredibly helpful as we navigate the decisions we make in our teaching practices. We'll gain insights on what to prioritize and what to scale back on in our lessons, the role of grammar, and how we can improve our assessment methods for our learners.
Prepare for some assumptions to be challenged as we dive deep into understanding how our students truly acquire language. By gaining a clearer understanding of this process, we can make more informed decisions that benefit our students' language learning journeys. I guarantee that you'll learn as much from this conversation as I have. So, let's tune in now. Happy listening!
