As language teachers, supporting and facilitating student output can be both rewarding and challenging. We know how excited students feel when they see what they can write and say in the target language. At the same time, we often view output as evidence of acquisition—yet that’s not necessarily the case.
Many times, students' output does not align with our expectations, leading to frustration, stress, and even anxiety for both students and teachers. That’s why understanding the true role of output in language development is crucial.
In Episode 138 of Growing with Proficiency The Podcast, we dive deep into this topic, exploring:
✔️ The role of output in language acquisition.
✔️ The importance of realistic expectations and appropriate support for student output.
✔️ Carefully structured activities that support output without forcing it.
✔️ Two powerful classroom activities shared by Esther Galo and Christina Margiore inside the Winter Conference of Growing With Proficiency: The Spanish Teacher Academy.
