The 5-Week Linguist Show: Seasons 1, 2 and 3

49 episodes

8 months ago

Do you love languages? Do you teach languages? Do you love to learn languages? Would you like to learn another language and want to find out how to do it without spending a ton of money or time you don’t have? If so, then the 5-Week Linguist Show is for you.

Every week, there'll be a new audio or video, talking all about tips, shortcuts, and the research on how to learn any language you want from anywhere in the world, with time you already have. Learn how to turn every 5-week interval into progress towards fluency in a language.

My name is Janina Klimas. I've been teaching languages for more than two decades. I have a BA in Theater Arts and Foreign Languages, and an MA in the teaching of languages. I speak six languages to varying levels of fluency. I've lived on three continents as a language teacher. I've been an English instructor at Sejong University, director of their language immersion program, and taught languages to people ranging from preschool, K-12, university and language for specific purposes. I've taught Spanish and English for many years. I've continued to learn and study additional languages on my own with new activities every 5 weeks. I’ve discovered a lot of resources over the years that I share with you here.

I am so excited for you to be joining me each week here!

Tools for the Language Classroom

Welcome to the 5-Week Linguist Show. Today, Janina will talk about Google Apps post-COVID in the world language classroom.

(2:37) – I’m going to discuss how to use Google Docs, Slides, Forms, YouTube in your language classroom, how to plan and organize a guest speaker session in your target language for your students, and some low and no prep engaging activities that can be used in any world language class.

(1:18) – Janina wanted to share her takeaways from Google Apps.

(2:55) – Google Docs

(3:32) – Task Journals or No Vocabulary notebook

(6:15) – Google Translate

(7:25) – Google Docs- great for collecting and using vocabulary for real communication.

(10:06) – Built in Dictionary

(11:16) – Screenplay

(13:22) – Having guest speakers

(13:35) – It’s important to expose our students to as many different speakers as possible, so they get comfortable with accents, they get comfortable with different dialects.

(16:17) – Set up a Drive folder

(20:47) – Templates in Google Docs

(21:19) – Google Slides

(23:08) – You can put that presentation in a grid view, and then students can use those as sort of a word bank for bingo. You can do this with grammar or whatever you want.

(24:50) – Another use for Google slides is basic dialogues and communicative tasks.

(26:34) – As you’re learning to speak, or your students are learning to speak, have the bullet points and things out to talk about, and then talk and record the slide.

(28:59) – Google Forms

(31:19) – YouTube

(32:52) – Commercials in target language

(33:08) – When we study a language, we can’t ignore the culture. We have to talk about the products, the practices and the perspectives of the people that speak that language.

(34:52) – Chrome Extensions

(37:07) – Quizlet
