Movie Quotes – fun, easy, effective, input-rich game 

Someone recently was looking for a quick and easy game to play. I shared the Movie Quotes game that I learned  from Bryce Hedstrom and have tweaked and blended with some features of Ben Slavic‘s Team Listening Game.  It’s quick

INSPIRING

Though there are many languages I’m eager to discover, German has never been one. Yet as a beginning German student, I found myself drawn in and very eager to keep learning! Our class readings have emphasized the importance of narrative form and emotional investment for connecting students to lessons and helping them create meaning. I thought this was a bit unimpressive. However, it only took the briefest experience as your student for me to see otherwise. I’m grateful for the opportunity you gave us to sit on the other side of the desk and try being beginners again.

MENTORING

I am without appropriate words to express how grateful I am for Grant's investment into my teaching career. I feel that I have been encouraged, stretched, challenged, supported, enlightened, and more. He is a wonderful mentor and colleague.

Laura Abuhl Spanish Teacher

LEADING

I have directed the iFLT Conference for several years, and 2015 was the first year we have ever had to turn students away! We had a waiting list of students who wanted to take classes, and that is a huge testament to Grant’s universal success in the classroom, his professional relationship with his colleagues and his stellar reputation in the community as an advocate and a catalyst for highly effective, all-inclusive language instruction.

Carol Gaab President, TPRS Publishing, Inc. / Director of iFLT

GROWING

Grant knows the value of taking risks, and his growth is the result of unmistakable passion and an incredible work ethic.

Steve Hilton Ceramics Professor, Midwestern State University

Grant is one of us that has worked hard over the years to develop his craft–and that can give all of us hope that we can get better too.
