Could some one tell me if AP has gone completely digital? I know the audio for sure but is it also the essay and the multiple choice answers?
Where can I get more information? I was not informed on a timely basis and I just picked up the class this year. I have not taught it for about 2 years. I was out on leave.
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I believe that all audio prompts and instructions will be presented with a CD. I wish they would change that to digital too but I don't think they have.

How would you translate sugarbugs? Dentists use this term to tell kids about brushing their teeth. I feel like bichito dental or bicho azucarado might work... but not insecto de azucar. Any ideas? Thanks-
"Bichito dental" or leave it untranslated if it is used as a proper name, depending on the context ("Sugarbug Doug," "Clínica Dental Sugarbug", "El bichito dental que se llama Sugarbug...).

Right now I'm deciding between Que Chevere and Santillana (I'm open to other options). From previous posts, Descure seems to get good reviews but I just can't imagine using it in the middle school.
It seems like Que Chevere's telenovela is fun, they have lots of practices in the workbook and book, and good pronunciation practice. My concern is the chapters seem very randomly put together with vocabulary.
Santillana seems to present useful vocabulary and good listening. The foto video seems ridiculous. I tried it out with my kids and they just laughed.
voy a clases o voy a las clases. Book uses a la/a las when teaching al. I know you can say a clases but I don't know why or how to explain the difference. Can anyone help?
Voy a las clases and Voy a la clase is more specific. 'I am going to the classroom' as opposed to the general statement 'I'm going to class'. Does this make sense?
To me, it sounds more natural and more common to simply state: "Voy a clase".

Anyone have any good tunes for helping students remember the irregular past participles. I made one up to a tune of mary had a little lamp, but it's not great, and Ideally, I would love to state the infinitives that each goes with. I'm stuck.
EvanBreak the students into groups, give them the list of infinitives and verbs, and let them make up a tune. Listening to each group perform will also reinforce the learning.
Depending upon the technology in your classroom, they can also make videos, written presentations, etc.

If you ge...See MoreI was toying with the idea of teaching English in Latin America recently; I opted not to go--because I had the nutty idea that moving with nothig but a list of schools that would love to meet with me n person might no end as well as people onine claim it does (for most "professional" teachers)--- but I noticed somehing:
If you get certfied to teach Engligh abroad, there are two (and onl two) teachng skills you will learn.. how to NEVER use the student's native language an how to make sure tha your TTT (teacher talk time) iss 25&37; or less. In other words the ONLY acceptable teacching method for teaching English to non native speakers is to talk at mot 25&37; of the time. The claim is language learning is only about speaking the target language because "the onl way you learn a language is to actively be speakinng it".
I am 100&37; opposed to the "shut up and make them talk" attitude, and let's be real..the "never use anoher language in class" rule only exists because 85&37; of people wanting to teach abroad to go Asia or the Middle East and have never studied the local language prior to their big move. BUT: Isn't it interesting that TPRS also claims their method is the only way to teach, also claims their method naturally teaches students to gain fluency without having to learrn a language like you "learn" science rules, and also claims all research supports their method? But yet their method is an almost literal opposite to the method hundreds of schools teaching teachers to teach a foreign language all employ (and also claim is "the only method that works")? So "speaking only" or "listenng only"..which method reaally works?
You know that Willy Wonka meme? Tell me more about how great the results of all that "speaking only" teaching has been. Yeah. Not so much. If you are familiar with the research on how language is acquired, you'll know that comprehensible input (listening and reading) is the way to go.
Actually no..Research actually doesn't "prove" TPRS works; a few studies showed TPRS classes moderately outperformed non TPRS classes.
