YALI’s programs are designed with attention to the latest findings in the field of second language acquisition and thus they demonstrate realistic, accomplishable tasks for language learners of all types.  \nWhat you should expect in this course:  \nYou should expect to have three parts to this course. There is the preview portion, the in-­‐class portion, and the review portion. These parts of the class help you to have multiple encounters with new vocabulary and grammar in and out of class so that you can strengthen your new language skills.  \nAll of the work you do asynchronously, outside of class will be done orally through voice and video recordings on VoiceThread. The YALI program recognizes that participants actively seek to develop a basic level of oral production and aural comprehension in an African language, often for use in the field. This emphasis on speaking is designed to support our learners’ objectives.  \nYou will have approximately one and a half hours of asynchronous homework to accompany each of your one and a half hour synchronous classes. The asynchronous homework can be broken up as you see fit over the days between classes. Your instructor will comment on your progress in different exercises by the day prior to the next class. The instructor might not comment on all of your exercises.  \nWhat is expected of you in this course:  \nIn addition to the work you will do synchronously with your instructor and classmates in class via Zoom, you will have work to do asynchronously. This homework is divided into two parts, one that reviews the material you saw in class and one that previews the next class’ material. In both parts you will be presented with phonemes, vocabulary, and practice exercises.  \nIt is extremely important that you complete these practice exercises and that you practice using your vocabulary before class. This type of preparation can and should be done in smaller chunks, that is, not all at once (more on that below) . In class, your instructor will expect that you will be able to employ the vocabulary and structures from previous lessons and begin to employ the new vocabulary and grammar for that day. Preparing before class will ensure that you stay on track and maximize your speaking time during class by allowing you to spend more time using the language and less time trying to learn new concepts.  \nLanguage Learning Tips for Success During YALI and After!  \n1. Study often and in manageable chunks  \n• Work on small sections of material or individual exercises. Working in short, focused blocks of time with more frequency will help you to retain more material than infrequent, long study sessions.  \n2. Break down vocabulary lists  \n• We have broken the lists into smaller related groups of words. These are useful guides to work through your vocabulary. Work on one small section at a time. You should revisit vocabulary each time you study and then add on to what you know. Research shows that you will learn and retain more vocabulary this way than through long “cramming” study sessions.  \n3. Try and do as much as you can with the language  \n• Try to actively use as much of the language as you have learned. Your instructor will help you to know what you are doing correctly and how to improve.  \n4. Languages have lots of patterns, pay attention to them and apply them  \n• All languages have patterns. Your instructor and your grammar notes will help make some of these patterns obvious to facilitate the speed at which you learn the language. Be on the look out for other patterns too and apply them when speaking.  \n5. You have time between classes, don’t put off your work  \n• Do exercises as you have time. Try an exercise early so that your instructor can give you feedback. You can return to any exercise to","cbCaihj7uxjdnwHF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihj7uxjdnwHF","pdf",2926445,"English","# What you should expect in this course\n## Three course parts: preview, in-class, and review\n## Asynchronous work via voice and video recordings\n# What is expected of you in this course\n## Complete practice exercises before class\n## Two-part homework: review and preview\n# Language Learning Tips for Success During YALI and After!\n## Study in manageable chunks\n## Break down vocabulary lists\n## Use the language actively\n## Pay attention to patterns\n## Don’t put off work between classes\n## Focus on meaning, not every single word\n## Ask for repeats when needed\n## Listen to as many recordings as possible\n## There’s no rush\n## Embrace mistakes and have fun\n# Getting to Know Our Host Family","[{\"question\":\"How is the YALI course structured?\",\"answer\":\"The course includes three parts: a preview portion, an in-class portion, and a review portion.
