In this episode I’m taking the idea of input a little further.  Most of us are on board and understand the importance of making input comprehensible for students.  But, how can we check that the language is actually being understood by students? Because if they’re not understanding they’re not acquiring. I’ll share tips for checking for understanding and what to do with the info we get.

Topics covered in this episode:

• The quick rundown on input and why it’s beneficial
• The role of comprehensible input
• How to make input comprehensible
• Why check for understanding
• Why the checks are useful and what to do with what we learn
• How to check for understanding
• Strategies for checking for understanding
