Two new grammar-focused activities are now available in CL-150 Lesson Authoring<\/a> and upcoming learning materials, including weekly CL-150 Cohort lessons.<\/p>\n

Two new grammar-focused learning activities\u2014Transform & Say It<\/em> and Transform & Write It<\/em>\u2014are now available to all CL-150 lesson authors and will appear in upcoming materials created by our team. These activities challenge learners to \u201ctransform\u201d a phrase in the target language to demonstrate knowledge of a particular grammar rule or pattern.<\/p>\n

These activities can be used to demonstrate nearly any grammar concept: transforming present tense into past tense; singular into plural; formal speech into informal speech; statements into questions; and so on.<\/p>\n

In the examples below, learners are asked to transform the verb tense in a series of French sentences from pass\u00e9 compos\u00e9 to l\u2019imparfait. Accompanying notes reinforce the concept, providing examples of when it\u2019s appropriate to use the tenses.<\/p>\n

Transform & Say It<\/h2>\n

Transform & Say It<\/em> focuses on spoken transformations. The activity kicks off with instructions about what kind of transformation to make. Then, they\u2019ll see and hear a phrase and must think or say the transformed phrase out loud. After seeing and hearing the answer, they can self-report whether or not they transformed the phrase properly.<\/p>\n

\"CL-150<\/p>\n

Transform & Write It<\/h2>\n

Transform & Write It<\/em> follows the same process, but instead of speaking and self-reporting answers, learners must type the transformed phrase and will receive immediate feedback if they make a mistake.<\/p>\n

You can expect to see these image activities appearing in some of our upcoming lessons, including CL-150 Cohort lessons in the coming weeks, but both activities are already available for use in your custom lessons created with the CL-150 Lesson Authoring tool!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"CL-150
