Today’s Interview: Today Ashley talks with Joshua Cabral of World Language Classroom about Corrective Oral Feedback. Joshua presents at conferences and trains teachers in workshops as well as teaching French and Spanish to grades 1-8 in MA. Joshua is also a huge supporter of the podcast and Ashley is always excited to talk to him. He is doing a lot of traveling and presenting this year. He loves working with teachers and helping them learn and grow! Josh is a big fan of Starbucks, in case you hadn’t heard! Feedback Any information you provide to students to show them where they are on their language learning journey Feedback is supposed to help students move faster along the journey towards proficiency Grades and correcting are what we think of a lot as feedback but it doesn’t have to be JUST that THREE TYPES   Appreciation     Coaching     Evaluation   Indication of where they are right now Summative assessments (sometimes) Proficiency mindset means it's more about where they started and where they want to go and where they are currently and the student is participating in setting these goals There’s always room for more goals How do we choose what to give feedback on? Errors are when a student has not acquired this skill yet, they’re guessing Mistakes are when they HAVE acquired it, but they have an inaccuracy in the moment Mistakes are more likely to happen in the moment (speaking) but less likely if students have time to think it through properly (writing) FOCUS ON FIXING MISTAKES, not errors Clarification requests Avoid the native language as much as possible, keep it communicative in the target language Take a part of the incorrect sentence and focus on it with a pause or a rephrase to see if they really have acquired it or not to see if they can correct their mistake or if you need to provide more input for their error Similar to clarifying with a question Starting the sentence again for the student to repeat with a new order or new mindset, they might be able to fix their mistake again Changing SOMETHING about it might help them realize they made a mistake and they can have another opportunity Might be as simple as adding a pronoun they weren’t using, or it could be more complex related to tense Keep the communication going, avoid the native language Elicitation Repeat the sentence back, stress the inaccuracy It's very likely that a student will be higher at reading and listening than they are at speaking and writing so they will hear the mistake themselves and THEN be able to fix their error after hearing it repeated and stressed Repetition It all goes back to the modes where interpersonally they might be lower in their proficiency level, but interpretively they are higher and can now notice the mistake Recast is saying the correct form for the student Embedded means recasting the correct way but stretching it to add more information to keep the conversation going Very personalized feedback  Can be challenging for the ENTIRE class Embedded recast Maybe do it in stations so you can work with small groups Tips for teachers Take a couple days and listen to EVERYTHING students say and practice in your head to see if you can tell the difference between a mistake and an error. THEN stop correcting the errors and focus on the mistakes. Once you’ve had your practice, pick ONE type of feedback to try first. Start small so you’re not overwhelmed and then work your way through all four!
