What’s it like when your long-distance collaborator becomes the perfect match for your energy and teaching philosophy?

This is exactly what happened when Andrea Caulfield and AnneMarie Chase teamed up with Teacher’s Discovery® to compile their favorite classroom games and share the power of play with the World Language community. The result was “Proficiency Through Play,” an upcoming book for teachers of all languages—and a beautifully synergistic collaboration.

“Proficiency Through Play” takes the best of what Andrea and AnneMarie bring to the classroom and weaves it into a compelling approach to World Language education. Through the power of games, Andrea and AnneMarie show you how to build language proficiency, promote positive student interactions, and simplify your planning time.

Read what each teacher has to say about working with her co-author, then keep your eyes on your email to be the first to know when “Proficiency Through Play” is released later this summer!

Why is Amaya so afraid to be in the water?

Making predictions pulls your students into the story—without reading a single word! Expert teacher and author A.C. Quintero loves using predictions and speculative picture talk to introduce her novel units because they allow students to make connections to the book before even turning to the first page. Just project the book cover or an interesting illustration, ask a few thought-provoking questions, and let your students’ imaginations do the rest!

Learn more about A.C. Quintero’s approach to teaching class novels in the replay of her presentation “Teaching Novels Demystified” www.vocesdigital.com/videolibrary.php?video=sum25-20
