RASCALS' Roundtable

Mind the Gap: A High School Teacher’s Guide to the New Devis


Listen Later

This week on RASCALS’ Roundtable, we’re joined by Paige Delaney, a passionate high school ESL teacher who’s already putting the new devis into action.

We talk:
✔️ Why oral interaction isn’t just speaking—it’s ping-pong
✔️ What reinvestment really looks like outside the classroom
✔️ Why high schools may be ahead of the curve
✔️ How plurilingualism, CEFR, and student identity are shaping a new kind of ESL teaching

Paige brings a thoughtful and practical lens to the devis conversation—one rooted in real student needs, real communication, and a belief that language learning doesn’t happen in isolation.

🎧 Whether you’re still trying to decode the devis or looking for ways to make reinvestment feel less like a worksheet and more like a conversation, this episode is for you.
