If you teach languages, you know that things are just different in our classes. So many of the things that traditionally we\u2019re conditioned to do in school are the exact opposite of what we want people to do in our classes. If we treat our classes in a really traditional way, we will never create proficient and successful speakers of a target language. Here are five things from traditional school conditioning that are actually vital for a successful foreign language class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don<\/strong><strong>\u2019t talk during class<\/strong>. We want to produce people who can speak new languages, and they will never do that unless they practice. And they\u2019re probably going to get the vast majority of their practice in our classes. We have to spend the majority of our time doing communicative speaking activities in order to create people who can speak out in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don<\/strong><strong>\u2019t talk to strangers<\/strong>. While we would never want to see our students get into a bad or a dangerous situation, I think it\u2019s really safe to say that we do want them to talk to strangers. That\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re teaching them to do. We want them to be able to talk to people from all over the world and from all walks of life. While they need to be able to do that with good judgement, we want them to build the skills to communicate with people effectively all over the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don<\/strong><strong>\u2019t make mistakes.<\/strong> I think this is probably one of the most difficult ones to get over. I think oftentimes, we see students in our classes who are very smart and they\u2019re very hard working, and they don\u2019t like making mistakes. But you\u2019re going to do this in a foreign language, and you will never ever be perfect at it. You will never ever be able to get to that \u201cperfection\u201d without making a lot of errors. They have to be encouraged. And yes, while we want them to make few errors (the fewer errors you make the more effectively they can communicate), we definitely want them to not be shy about making those errors while they communicate. At the end of the day, it\u2019s all about being understood and understanding other people. They\u2019ll never get there if they\u2019re too afraid to make mistakes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stop playing.<\/strong> I think this one is really interesting because over the years, I\u2019ve had so many people tell me that they didn\u2019t really understand what I was doing with playing all these games in my class (not my students or parents). They\u2019re all prompts. These are all opportunities for people to understand and speak languages. They work! And you know what? Learning new languages can be really hard. You need to make it fun. It requires a lot of attention and a lot of focus. There are so many fun games that get people understanding grammar, vocabulary, structures and speaking and listening. You need to be playing games in a language class as you\u2019re learning more often than not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take yourself very seriously<\/strong>. I think this is putting all of these different things together. While it does take dedication to learn a language, you\u2019ve got to be willing to do all the things we talked about before. Make errors, talk, take risks, talk to new people, have new experiences, and play. This couldn\u2019t be more true than in foreign language. But also, while these black and white fill-in-the-blank books and exercises in vocabulary are all important, it\u2019s just as important to do real life fun things in a language class. Watch movies, greet people, do crossword puzzles, listen to music, go out, make new friends-this is how you really learn a language. It\u2019s not just going page to page in a book.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for more for your language class?
