07.02.13 ~ Curtain and Dahlberg - Chapter 10
Being in the elementary education program I am already very aware of the importance of connecting the different subjects I will teach, and that is what this chapter was about, only it was specific to connecting the teaching of language to the other content areas. You (Dr. Ferree) told me that you thought it was important for an ESL teacher to have experience as a classroom teacher, and I know that understanding these connections is the reason why. Students need this "comprehensible input" to give reason and motivation to learning language. I also like how ways in which each of the content areas can be connected to foreign language education are explained. It really helped me to think about some ideas for our upcoming content area lesson.
