Still learning from #actfl23! So grateful to everyone who shared over the weekend and beyond. Feeling reinvigorated 💗
Love how @senoraschlegel and @swishaub celebrate their learners through self reflection even at the novice level. #ACTFL23 #langchat
"When you open a unit and you want to engage learners in critical thinking, you need to let the learner's brain engage first." @lterrillindy #leadwithculture #actfl23
Trust, honesty, and respect are the 🔑s to cultivating good relationships.

Oh, consumerism.
Planning to include this video for unit on #comerciojusto #fastfashion
Crazy, I watched this TikTok from this woman who worked in a sweatshop and she said she'd be close to passing out from the fumes and stuff in the clothing.
