The students are making some progress...

They are comprehending more and responding accurately. Although I believed my previous strategy was efficient--viewing power points of vocabulary with associated pictures, videos, etc.-- the teachers say they would like the students to speak more. This is really challenging considering every time I ask students basic questions like, "What did you have for breakfast?" they are at a lost. My new plan is to use more dialogue in the book, then have the students have their own discussion related to the topic.
