Episode 6
I had the pleasure speaking with Dr. Florencia Henshaw, a Spanish professor and Second Language Acquisition (SLA) expert from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. This is Part 1 of a two part episode (Part 2 coming soon!) where we discuss some optimal ways to think about comprehensible input and target language use in the classroom.
Dr. Henshaw has a wonderful YouTube channel where she explains SLA in a very digestible way, and I highly recommend it:
