5 language learning secrets every traveler should know. Among pre-travel rituals, nothing excites me more than learning to spout out a few phrases in a foreign language. Sometimes, it’s worked out great. I’ve understood and been understood, had a few laughs, and made some new friends. But more times than not, I’ve fallen flat. Opening my mouth to articulate in a foreign language for the first time yields incomprehensible gibberish. Dejected at a first failed attempt, I shut down, never to utter more than a few basic pleasantries for the remainder of the trip. So, what went wrong?

And yet, his personality seemed to ebb and flow. “I felt probably ruder and more aggressive in Greek, clear and concise in French, and creative and longwinded in English,” he said. “You don’t really feel the difference while you’re doing it, but you do after.” Although the debate rages on whether or not we gain new personalities as we acquire new languages, for those who are bilingual or multilingual, it often feels that speaking a different language turns you into a different person.

Keys to Teaching Success: Difference between Rules and Procedures. Rules are for undesirable behaviors that have set consequences while procedures are expected classroom behaviors with no set consequences for a violation. Anytime a student violates a rule in your classroom, you must act and a consequence must occur (See handout on Possible Consequences).
Consequences should be realistic for both teacher and students and should progress if the rule is broken repeatedly. In other words if a student talks in class you would not write a referral on the 1st offense but you probably would if it continued to be a problem and you have tried other ways to control this behavior in your classroom. There can be consequences for violating procedures but the consequence never gets to the referral stage. Examples of Procedures 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Click on picture below for full view.
