Foreign Language Demonstration (Part A)

No matter what your past language learning experience has been, you will now have a taste of what some ESOL students experience when they enter mainstream classrooms.  You will watch two brief lessons on video. If the videos do not work below, please ask your facilitator for a tape.

Step One:  View the first part of the video titled "Foreign Language Demonstration" and then answer the following questions
