As a World Language teacher, there are a lot of values that I hold close to my heart. Below are ten of those values, what Domyei (1998) calls the "10 Commandments for Motivating Language Learners". I think as a teacher this is a great list to live and teach by. However, I don't know if they are happening without feedback from YOU, the student, the most important person in teaching and learning. Similar to Friday's reflection on Spanish 1, I want you to think back over the semester and assess how 1-10 happened, and in what ways. If you can, give examples. Be honest, yet careful and appropriate with your wording and tone. The more information the better, and of course for something like this, write this reflection in English. Also, keep in mind that most times your teachers are VERY intentional with what they plan, how they react, how you are assessed, the timing of certain activities, and much, MUCH more. Note: If there's time, reflect on your proficiency growth, too, from Novice Low (probably) to Novice Mid or Novice High, and the skills you acquired with Spanish.
