Immersion Teaching Takes Energy

At our two most recent Friday Night Forums, master teachers Victoria Gilbert and Chris Livaccari both taught us introductory language "immersion-style".

They used so much energy and were so dynamic! Both used:

*Lots of visuals (pictures, powerpoints)
*Lots of gestures
*Lots of positive feedback IN the target language (high-fives, smiles)

They were lively, active and engaging, and we students couldn't help but be involved and engaged.

Video of Chris Livaccari's presentation is playing here:
