Will Slade's Language Teaching Blog

Two things are reinforcing my interest in Bilingual Education: I am substituting for the H.O.L.A. program, a non-profit that is trying to help implement two-way dual language programs at campuses around Austin, 2. an awesome class in Bilingual Teacher Leadership with Deb Palmer and the Proyecto Maestria group. From that group I learned about the Daily Five , a program for helping kindergartners learn to read. My classmates say that their students have learned to read more quickly and successfully with the Daily Five than with any other program they've used. More links soon.

The University of Texas foreign language departments collaborated last semester and this one to put together an impressive series of lectures on different aspects of foreign language education. If you are a language teacher and are curious about improving a particular aspect of your teaching, chances are this site has a video for you. The site is still under construction, so check back regularly over the next several months.
