The class resources we acquired through the grant (READ Ñ) helped maintain learning continuity throughout this semester’s NTI days, when students were able to keep working on their stories while internalizing new vocabulary and language structures by playing online games. During snow days, these games provided the comprehensible input and repetition necessary for language acquisition to occur. Without the accompanying online platform, reading a graphic novel would have been quite challenging for our novice learners. With it, they enjoyed the continuity of the process and the empowerment they felt from being able to read something pleasurable and meaningful in a world language.
