A Few Ground Rules for Language

Classes

7/27/2019 Reading Arabic Ads

39/57

Be prepared to be an active language

learner.

This means getting ready to become an actor.

Your new role involves putting on the costume

of a new language and pretending that you

are comfortable in it.

It also means realizing that you have to listen

closelyand not get hung up on words you

dont understand. Guess and try to follow

other signals (like visuals)to help you makesense of whats going on.

Respect the language space.

Except for beginners, in the language

classroom, we will mostly be using the

language were learning. You will be asked to

hold to this agreement. When you dontunderstand something, instead of asking

about it in English, ask your questions in the

second language.

Learning a language is a lot like

learning to play a sport.

The idea is to have fun while building skills.

You are going to feel tired at times, but this is

a good signit means you are building up

your language muscles!

Feel free to make mistakesits how

we learn.

This is one of the few places where you are

able to make mistakes and not have it cost you

much. Try to use your language whenever

possible, both in and out of the classroom.Youll be surprised by how far a few words will

take you.

Respect your classmates and expect

the same in return.

We all learn at different paces, but were going

to be working together a lotmore than in

most classes. You should encourage your

classmates when theyre doing the right thing,be patient with them as they try on their new

costume and expect them to do the same for

you.
