Just finished the module on Drama and really enjoyed the panel discussions. When I taught Core French, I always found it challenging to teach the older students. The programs we had were too difficult so there was rarely a feeling of success for teacher or student. As I listen to the panel discussion regarding intermediate students, I see just how perfectly suited AIM is for the older students. Teachers I have worked with have though the content to be immature for the older students but this is as far from the truth as one could get. The important thing is to empower the student, regardless of age, with the ability to communicate orally and then they will have the confidence to take risks that are necessary to develop other literacy skills in reading and writing. Thanks for the wonderful input via the panel discussions.
