Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a content and language objective?
	A content objective addresses a state standard that is necessary to cover for that subject area and is written using measurable verbs. A language objective addresses how you will reach the content objective. It involves the four aspects of communication: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

How do you keep students on task during the interaction component?
	It is very important that the interaction activity is scaffolded into easy to understand steps. Students need to be given a goal to accomplish. It is also important that the teacher moves from group to group and interacts with the groups to make sure students are progressing accordingly. The teacher can set up some sort of a point system to award the groups that are on task and attaining the goal that is set before them.
