Daily Formative Assessment Article:
This article implies that students and parents main focus in foreign language classes is the speaking portion of communication and that the students don’t speak enough and don’t receive enough feedback.

In an example, there was a pair of students working together. One student spoke while the other student marked how many sentences were said correctly, comprehensible, meaningful, and appropriate. In order for the students to be able to know how to provide this kind of feedback to each other, the teacher must provide examples and show them what’s comprehensible, meaningful, appropriate, and correct.

I think a good lesson to use this strategy with would be over things to do in one’s free time. I could have the students work in pairs and have one student ask questions such as: what do you do in your free time? What are you doing this weekend? Do you like to shop? Etc. It could start as one round in which one partner is being asked the question, the 2nd round having the other partner answering the questions, and lastly they could discuss the same questions but then go into more detail and converse with each other or feed into the questions.

Thinglink : Thinglink is an interactive website for the students to use. As teachers we can post videos, activities, music, etc. to a thinglink for a specific lesson for the students to navigate and complete.

Kahoot: Kahoot is a great tool to use when students are reviewing vocabulary and sometimes grammar structures. When teachers create their own questions and answers, students can then play the 'game'. It's very engaging and entertaining for students.

On www.theteachertoolkit.com, it provides tools/activities for things such as classroom management, opening activities, checks for understanding, etc. Though it doesn't list out an exact lesson, it's still a great guide.
FVR stands for free voluntary reading. Students get to choose what they want to read. If the book doesn’t interest them then they don’t have to finish it. Free voluntary reading occurs because you want to, not because of any assignments or grades. FVR is highly beneficial to SLA, but it will not by itself produce higher levels of competence. However, it does help in acquiring higher levels of proficiency. Children studying English in Singapore who followed the “Reading and English Acquisition Program,” outperformed students who were traditionally taught on tests of reading comprehension, vocabulary, oral language, grammar, listening comprehension, and writing. Similar data was collected in South Africa and Sri Lanka. Students who were encouraged to read for fun gained far more knowledge and outperformed students who were traditionally taught on standardized tests and other measures of literacy. There are also studies in which readers mastered the Spanish subjunctive through reading.

In read and test studies, students are given a reading without being told that any form of assessment is coming after. The readings contain words that are unfamiliar to the readers, however, the readers don’t know that. In read and test studies, readers are encouraged to try to gain as much meaning from the passage as possible when reading it. In studies done at the University of Illinois, researchers gathered that upon seeing an unknown word in context, the reader learned more about its meaning. In such readings, readers are able to gather the meaning of a word by the context alone, thus expanding their vocabulary.

Reading also has the ability to enhance spelling. Once seen enough times in a text, the spelling of certain words can stick in your memory. Reading also improves writing skills. I myself have noticed this in my target language. I take note of differences such as commas instead of decimals, I read acceptable transition words, etc.
