Did I Make Myself Clear?

Of all the videos I’ve watched about language learning, the most memorable is one where Stephen Krashen—a linguist, researcher, and all-around rock star in the world of ESL—illustrates how to make “input” comprehensible.   ("Input" is essentially language meant to convey a message.)  It’s an oldie, but a goodie—in two minutes, Krashen shows the power of a few simple actions to get a message across.  Any teachers of English learners can easily incorporate these actions with good effect in their own classrooms.  Check out this very short video.  (You can disregard the Portuguese subtitles--unless, of course, you're learning Portuguese!)
