What would any of our learners love to do with the language? To have a conversation! But as teachers, we know the challenge of fostering meaningful conversations entirely in the target language. So, what can we do to support our students in building community and making real connections through conversation?

On this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with language expert and educator Bethanie Drew about interpersonal activities. Bethanie is not only an incredible Spanish teacher, presenter, blogger, and curriculum expert, but she is also FLANC Teacher of the Year for 2022-2023.  Join us as we delve into the top 5 interpersonal activities that will encourage authentic conversations and discussion in your language class.
