Accommodations and Equal Access in the foreign language classroom
Accommodations and Equal Access in the foreign language classroom
Peterson_FLT860_ResearchProjectFinal.docxThis research proposal covered my work on how students with learning disabilities, along with appropriate accommodations, were able to complete an activity with implicit exploration followed by explicit teaching followed by implicit application.
This was my first paper that really sparked the passion I discovered for students with appropriate accommodations in the language classroom.
I took data on how many Spanish words versus English words were used in different group combinations of students and how scaffolded support resources could impact a student with accommodations.
Language teacher attrition and retention
Language teacher attrition and retention
At this point in the MAFLT program, I had stepped out of the classroom. My partner in this project, Teryn, had also stepped out of the classroom. We decided to complete our ethnographic inquiry on the impact of qualified language teachers stepping out of the classroom and why there was such an increase in those teachers deciding to leave. We began to explore the question of if or how programs could have prevented the leaving of qualified teachers and began to explore solutions from that regard. We found with language teachers specifically, the roles that were vacated were much harder to fill than others leading to schools not being able to offer programs or offering them severely modified.
