Our blogposts are typically centered on news and information specific to Literacy Forward, but today we wanted to share with you all an interesting idea – getting your students to think in English.
Of course, every class we have our students using English to complete a variety of activities. However, we may not always give attention to building fluency through actively encouraging students to mentally engage with English. To that end, we recommend reading the article “6 Ways to Think in English”, published by the International Language Academy of Canada. While the article is written for English Language Learners, we as educators can take the recommended activities and integrate them into our instruction as we see fit.
