In catching up today, I came across it again. <br /><br />I am also fascinated to find out how teachers use this in the classroom. I know I say this a lot, but I am in desperate need of feedback and ideas!<br /><br />I am still trying to figure out how to post documents, but it is in Rachel's and my plan to start doing so!<br /><br />Hope to hear from you soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07434630738246471566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372244552588469181.post-51422627494835934142012-01-31T14:45:47.257-05:002012-01-31T14:45:47.257-05:00WOW that was great to see WAYK in action in a clas...WOW that was great to see WAYK in action in a classroom.<br />I often wonder how people will apply certain techniques to their own environments and teaching styles. I think the most important step towards improving the classroom experience is the willingness to try something new just for the sake of experimentation. The experiment must have a goal… the goal of WAYK is did language acquisition (specifically the development of new teachers) increase by one second. If in fact the road to fluency has been shortened by one second then the experiment was a success. Then the question becomes how quickly we can get the students to start setting up experiments of their own to see if they can increase the uptake of language (and teaching strategy) by one second.<br /><br />I did a whole write up for you. You may want to post it for others to see.Evan Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12201860661625603694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372244552588469181.post-65930531405830439742012-01-21T13:51:22.741-05:002012-01-21T13:51:22.741-05:00Great analysis of your first experience with the t...Great analysis of your first experience with the technique in a classroom.
