My favorite end-of-the-year activity.

In this blog post, I share my favorite end-of-the-year culmination activity and give you a FREE activity so you can try it out.

I LOVE IT FOR SIX REASONS:

1. Students speak Spanish or French the ENTIRE period, and sometimes two periods.
2. It is student-centered.
3. Students are highly engaged.
4. It reinforces concepts they've learned throughout the year.
5. It’s a superb assessment for speaking proficiency. It’s a challenge not only to come up with ways to evaluate oral proficiency but also to find instructional time to do so.
6. Students are doing all the work. All I have to do is wander around and listen for English.

STUDENTS LOVE IT BECAUSE:

• They get to talk to their peers all period, albeit in another language.
• They are enthralled to amass chips they can turn in for points. (I don’t get it.)
• They ask and answer the questions.
• They feel successful.

SURPRISE

I was not prepared for how popular this activity would be. Students BEG me to play it again.

Would you like to know how my student became fluent in two years?

The best way to become fluent in a second language is to converse, one-on-one with a native speaker. Actually, that is, in part, how I learned Spanish.

In a regular classroom, the typical student-teacher ratio is anywhere from 1/36 to 1/25. How is a student going to get the required exposure to reach proficiency with so few opportunities to speak and interact in the language?

In this post, I will show you how I solved this problem with an activity students LOVED and I will give you one of the activities for free.

EIGHT-STATIONS ACTIVITY

I created an activity that allows EIGHT times more language interaction than normal and am offering it to you for FREE. It is one of my most popular products. You can use it for repetition in context of any vocabulary or concept or as an end-of-the-year practice to recycle the vocabulary and provide tons of language in context.

At every level, I assign this task at the end of the year to reinforce all the vocabulary and grammar concepts and to give students more opportunities to speak.
