Chapter 10 Response

3 Things Learned
1. ESL and FL take 2 very different approaches both in how they are taught and the ways in which to integrate technology into the lessons.
2. Word processing programs have multiple languages which can help when it comes to learning how to write in a foreign language.
3. Sometimes providing authentic or up to date materials and perspectives on the culture from which language comes can be difficult, but web based resources can help troubleshoot that problem.

2 Connections
1. A cross disciplinary approach could be made with a presentation being made first in the English class and then in the Foreign Language class.
2.  Depending on the class if the class is reading world literature even more cross discipline research could be done and read in the Foreign language that students might also be learning.

1 Question
What would be the best way to differentiate for students with varying levels of understanding in a FL class?
