I tried to deconstruct what I consider to be realistic and attainable micro-practices (before, during, and after class) of successful students in my classes. Intention is to be clear regarding expectations and encourage successful habits. 1/3

Excited that the March NECTFL Review issue features a peer-reviewed article I co-authored with Nancy Zimmerman of @kutztownu.bsky.social on the @psmla.bsky.social Peer Mentoring Program and its impact on language teacher growth and sustainability! #langchat

Do we really not know? I was just mentioning today at my #nectfl25 presentation the case of Nicaraguan Sign Language. There are scholarly accounts (a couple I have off hand attached) but Stephen Pinker also uses it as a foundational vignette in his book The Language Instinct. Worth exploring.
