The first in a Seven-part 'Back to School' series where I break down my Keynote speech from the Agen Conference 2025 on: Getting the Acquisition-Motivation balance right.
In episode 129 I provide an overview of the six principles for a motivated language classroom this year:
Aligning a CI approach to your curriculum
The Acquisition-Motivation balance
The 5 minute block principle
Effective pairs to boost engagement
Creating a class yearbook
Running effective routines
These are all principles or strategies that I've put in place in the last two years so this will all be new content for the Motivated Classroom podcast. I'm really looking forward to hearing what you think!
Keep in touch and share widely!
