Registrace 3. 04. 2017
I am a NBCT Spanish teacher at Oxford High School in Oxford, MS. I am very passionate about my profession and have jumped head first into the practices and ideas of non-targeted structures and comprehensible input. I was a traditional TPRS teacher for 3.5 years before switching to Comprehensible Input (CI). I am a big proponent of the CI strategies and theories of Ben Slavic, Tina Hargaden , Mike Peto, Senor Wooly, Martina Bex (SOMOS curriculum), etc. Twitter: @SenorJimenezLHS

MovieTalk Feast Disney Animated Short
zhlédnutí 2,5KPřed 3 lety
MovieTalk is a common strategy for Comprehensible Input (CI) instruction. This is how I usually execute it, with slides of the movie so I don't have to constantly pause the actual film. Then we watch the film before the "twist", and review post-twist slides after the entire film. Enjoy! Spanish 1 class, 2nd semester. Any vocab not listed below or written on the board has been previously covered...

I recently became a NBCT with a World Language certificate. In my initial attempts to find more information on the process, I could not find much other than a couple blog posts. I wanted to provide my insight (although a bit negative at times) and resources on the NBCT process and what strategies/ideas I used throughout my process. In addition, I strongly recommend you start a BIG binder with t...

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?
These resources are great! I am excited that you are certified! I am a CI teacher from NC. Thanks for helping me feel less lost during this process.
Hola . Quisiera poder habalr con Ustd . Es posible ? Estoy haciendo la National board certification in word lenguaje Spanish . Tengo dudas. Me puedes ayudar ?
Hola necesito hablar con ustd. Puedes darme tu correo? o por que social media podemos hablar?
Ya pase el OPI, ud tomo el WPT? quisiera saber gracias
did you take the WPT?
appreciated you post your journey here as a world language teacher.
wow! thank you for this video. It is very helpful. The resources you have provided are extremely helpful! Gracias!
Thank you! You clarified the overall process, which was really stressing me out. Thank you for taking the time to do this and congratulations!
i just decided to start my NBCT.... What will be the best order do do take the content?? Which one i should do first?
In hindsight, I would probably do them in the following order: C3, C2, C4, C1 (test). I think doing the video component (C3) is an easier way to learn how to write for NBCT and will help with C4 which I think is the hardest, or at least most confusing/difficult to prepare for. Good luck!
For each of the components, are they strictly written in the target language?
All writing components are submitted in English. The only target language material is from the selected response section of C1. Hope this helps!
How do you add the sentences to the board?
Once you make a copy, you should be able to drag away the "cover" slide with the number and edit the sentence to your liking!

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
Hm, I am not 100% how to answer your question. I don't know much about certification for elementary level schools. However, if the school is private, there technically should not be any requirements from a department of education level since it is a private school. I hope this helps!
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.
Thanks for your feedback! Yes, I feel like I could have potentially scored higher through the OPI but opted for the OPIc for the sake of cheaper cost. One of my former university professors is a licensed OPI interviewer and helped me practice/study. He felt completely confident that I could reach that Adv Low-Adv Mid range. It's helpful to confidence to hear those things! Best of luck and I will be on the look out for your video!
Very helpful - thank you!
Claro que si! Buena suerte con todo
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.
Make sure you hit up the Facebook group. It was very helpful with all my components with bouncing ideas off other teachers. For C2, the main thing is to select two different types of learners and SHOW EVIDENCE of the measures you took to reach both of them. These students should ideally show growth between their summative and formative assessment but not necessarily HAVE to. Be sure your assessments can show hard data/evidence of growth. Best of luck!
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.
Cute idea! I think I've heard of other people doing chiles as well, but I got a bit worried about kids making/printing their own, so I opted for tickets! Thanks for the input!
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!
Glad it helped! Best of luck with your assessment!
How many hours did you have to study every week?
I'd guess for just over a month leading up to it, I was studying every week day for 1-2 hours a day. This also included some practice timed writing exercises for the 3 different constructed responses.
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.
Mil gracias por mirar. Buena suerte!
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.
Glad it was helpful! Just be sure to check the components for your certification, I'm sure they are very different from World Languages and I bet the Component 1 test focuses more on language acquisition from non-native learners. Best of luck!
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!
¡Qué bueno! I'm glad my content is reaching some people out there that benefit from it, especially in Mississippi! Buena suerte!
Wow! ¡Agradecida! 🌟🙌🏼
Claro que sí! Buena suerte
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.
Glad it reached you in the way you needed it! Buena suerte!
@@senormississippi gracias!! i am looking into the ACTFL proficiency tests right now. i see options for OPI and OPIc (computer), would either of those work, or does Nat Board prefer one over the other?
@@JustinBarney yes they accept the OPIc! I actually have a video on my channel on scoring advanced low on that too! Check it out.
Great info. Best I've found so far!
¡Qué fabuloso! ¡Me encantó! ¡Gracias por publicarlo!
Que buen video bo, soy argentino y estudiaré en ole miss, por cierto hablas muy bien español
Hi.. Hope you see this sir. If a rater/ interviewer give me a chance to ask him 3 questions.. What are the best questions to ask?.. Thanks for answering in advance.
Sorry for the late reply. There are no questions that you ask on the OPIc since it is an automated dialogue. If you are taking the regular OPI, it is definitely more of a back and forth conversation, but the interviewer still does more of the questioning.
