Risk-taking behavior in cooperative groups ☐ Student attempts to talk in English (even if incorrect or mixed with native language) ☐ Groups of students share a task assigned by the teacher ☐ All students in groups or pairs contribute by speaking or listening. Principle 3. Language connected to meaning and context ☐ Real things used during the lesson to connect language to meaning ☐ Gestures or movement used to connect language to meaning ☐ Images or pictures used to connect language to meaning ☐ Games or activities connected to learning new language Principle 4. Critical-thinking skills used in the lesson ☐ Students try to solve problems during the lesson ☐ Questions that the teacher poses challenge students to think ☐ Questions require extended answers (e.g., more than “yes/no”)
