Reviewing my practice as language teacher using the 3 modes of communication as a framework I did notice that, I do focus on the 3 modes, Interpretative, Interpersonal and Presentational however, I need to improve a lot working simultaneously all 3-communication modes on the same unit.
My students do Teletandem but from now on I will ask them to also write in the target language what they learned through the interaction and present for their classmates. The students can search online to prepare their presentation.
Good thoughts, Marcia, but how do you focus on them, and what are a few more concrete ways you can get students to use all three in class? I'd love to hear more!
