I really like the frog/chicken story. Could you tell me the rest of the framework please?

Wow! Estoy celosa!

Hi, I am having trouble accessing the documents in the CR 1 Folder. Are you able to share them another way please?

How do you add the sentences to the board?

Hello, I am a non US citizen and I now reside in Saudi Arabia. I hold a bachelor degree in management from a US regionally accredited university. I am willing to teach French and Spanish as a second language in a private American elementary and middle school. I am fluent in both languages but I need some kind of US certification. (When I was in the US I took CLEP test in both French 1&2 and Spanish 1&2 and scored 80/80 and 78/80 respectively) What could be the fastest way to get certified online? If I get the job I will only teach Spanish and/or French as a second language. Thank you in advance

My apologies! I see tips in all of the files that you shared. What a blessing you are! ¡Muchísimas gracias!

How long does it take to get our results?):

This was super helpful!!! I am currently working on C3 and I do feel as though I will need it to carry me as well. I did a story asking activity and filmed it, it had the cultural component definitely tied in (it was a story about a girls perfect quinceanera and her getting ready using reflexive verbs-the focus of this mini unit was quinceanera and quinceanera traditions). Just concerned about students having minimal output in the TL, it’s mostly me speaking and my students answering my questions… what did you say in your commentary to cite your videos about how you knew they were learning? If I say that through their affirmations of Sí/No or other circling techniques that they were following me/engaged? Would that be valid? I did another video lesson of running dictation where they had to work in groups on the story we did, one person being the runner, another a writer, another an illustrator, and another a sequencer… they were demonstrating comprehension through their drawings, I felt like they were engaged in the videos and using Spanish, but not 100% of the time… I just wanted to ask you because you also employ CI technique but in each video I do not feel confident about their output in TL. Thoughts? Also, How often did you cite evidence from your videos in your commentary? I’m kinda attempting this process solo with no mentor, so anything I feel like would be super helpful!!! Your video was awesome!

Hi! I just recorded a lesson today with my students doing stations. What were you doing in your videos that you recorded? I felt like I was mostly just walking around checking in on what they were doing because they didn’t have many questions.

How do you choose what lesson to do? Does it matter? I am a CI teacher too but I use Señor Wooly and SOMOS as curriculums trying to align with other textbook teachers in my department

Thank you so much for your tips. On my third try taking the OPI, I obtained an Advanced-Mid and went up two full levels from Intermediate-High. Your tips helped me gear my studying, although I personally felt better with the OPI and not OPIC. I even decided to do my own video with my experience on the OPI and OPIC.

Very helpful - thank you!

OMG so proud of you! thank you for this explanation. If you have more links about it! please put them in the comments! THANK you this helped me a lot! and GOD bless you!

Love this! Do you give instructions in Spanish or English?

Never mind. Thanks!!!

You mentioned some resources to study for C1, I do not see them on these comments. Can you share them again? Gracias

I am needing help with componente 2, recommendation please, I dont have mentor.

You're amazing! I've watched this video many times this yea!. Question - I am studying for component 1 and was wondering if you had templates or resources for the culture writing (E2). Do you have a suggestion on how to approach the 3 Ps AND historical, political, economic, intellectual, artistic, etc... about their provided topic in 30 minutes? The scoring says to write ONE way the topic impacts the culture seeming to contradict the instructions mentioning the whole list of things to discuss! Do you know if every sub-topic has to be mentioned to get a passing score or if you don't talk about say the artistic aspects of a geographical feature could you still pass?

Hola, so I use Chili peppers as papers that go in but the same system basically. I think just the idea of getting a chili really motivates them even if they don't win. It the fact that they got a Chile! I do drawings every 1 to 2 months and if I am latethey will ask anout it. I try not to reward food but rather they get to pick prizes from prize box which has random stuff like from dollar tree or even old vas! Lol. They get to pick from a list so I have a google doc they can pick to be canta ninja, xtra credit ticket, free lunch, teacher dress up as so.ething, choice seating etc.....I can pm you the doc. Last month i felt very nice and i cluded whole class prizes like donut for class.

Thanks for this video, I appreciate your feedback and detailed experience of what you dealt with during your test. This video game a few more tips on the OPI test.

Super Helpful. Thank you!

How many hours did you have to study every week?

Holy wow! Great insight. Did it once a decade ago and made a 2.25...and didn't try again until now. 😁

¡Te felicito! Justamente buscaba algún video así. Estoy tomando un curso para luego proseguir con la certificación oficial de ACTFL y ser evaluadora de español. Todavía estoy en el proceso inicial, pero me ayuda a ver cómo lo viven los que lo experimentan en varias formas.

So helpful! I'm thinking for several years about starting mine for English as a New Language and this gave me a great idea of what to expect.

This is great. I'm a Spanish teacher in Columbus, MS. So glad to find someone else in the South. I am a native speaker and teach PK-8th grade. Love your content!

Wow! ¡Agradecida! 🌟🙌🏼

Thanks for sharing this! It will help a lot of teachers! I don't know if I am ready to tackle it yet, though.

Thank you!! This is exactly the commentary and context I've been looking for online.

Great info. Best I've found so far!

¡Qué fabuloso! ¡Me encantó! ¡Gracias por publicarlo!
