Several months ago I followed a link and found several videos of Ben Slavic teaching his high school students French. I watched them even though I do not know any French. They were helpful because he narrates the story-telling method and describes what he thinks went well in the class and what he would do differently. At that time I saw other language videos, but had to get back to my plans for the following day, so I never did watch the other videos.
Yesterday, as I was reading The International Journal of Foreign Language Teachers online, I saw a link to the same group of videos and spent hours watching several different teachers. Once again, it was helpful to see the method being used in a classroom instead of just reading about it. The biggest thing I learned from them yesterday is that I need to remember to take it SLOW.
Here is the link for the videos of the Denver Public Schools teachers on TeacherTube.
