Using Flipgrid in a World Language Classroom...

Flipgrid in World Languages 🗣📝

In the world language classroom, students learn far more than grammar, spelling, and pronunciation. They focus on interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational communication, relating cultural practices to perspectives, making connections, language and cultural comparisons, and global communities. Flipgrid is a perfect place for your students to practice their speaking skills and share their ideas, while providing you a simple way to hear from all of your learners. Here are just a few ways that Flipgrid can ignite engagement and capture your students’ learning process:

⭐️ Understand, interpret, and analyze what is heard, read, or viewed.

⭐️ Use language to investigate, explain, and reflect on practices and perspectives of culture.

⭐️ Access and evaluate information and diverse perspectives.

⭐️ Set goals and reflect on progress in using languages for enjoyment, enrichment, and advancement.

⭐️ Present information, concepts, and ideas to inform, explain, and narrate.

⭐️ Use language to develop critical thinking, investigate, explain, and reflect.
