#175 Do students read in your classroom? What do they do with the reading? In this episode I speak with Jennifer Degenhardt and Theresa Marrama. They are both authors of CI Novels that I have personally used in my French and Spanish classrooms. I thought I’d go right to the source when thinking about the many ways that we can engage our students in target language reading. Jennifer and Theresa share their writing process, inspiration for their stories, and ideas for getting the most out of comprehensible novels.
Topics in this Episode:
what comprehensible novels are and why they are valuable tools in world language classrooms
What inspired Jennifer Degenhardt and Theresa Marrama to write comprehensible novels, and how thet decide on the themes and content for their books
how teachers can effectively integrate comprehensible novels into their curriculum to maximize student engagement and language acquisition
examples where using comprehensible novels made a significant impact on students' language learning
