Specific Example: WebQuest

The students will look over the materials given to them and then will be asked to complete three short assignments .First the students are going to go to the link attached for them and figure out a word that they would like to teach to the classroom. The next assignment given to them will be to get a partner and sign with them until they can successfully sign each other’s names. Once they believe that they can successfully do this they will sign the names to me and then they may separate from their partner and go on to the next assignment. The last assignment is a word search given in a pdf file and should be done independently. They have until the next class session to finish the assignment.

Conclusion

Different languages are becoming part of our societies every day life.

Language permits us to explore and communicate with people from all around

the world. Language is important for us to teach our students because it will

be a vital tool for them later in life. The United States is not a strictly English

speaking country. It never has been and it never will be. Our society is filled

with individuals from all over the world and if we fail to educate our students

on the different languages they may encounter they will have an extremely

difficult time communicating with people from their own United States let

alone foreign countries.
