That familiar question “Will this be graded?” highlights how assessment culture can disconnect students from the learning process itself. I appreciate how clearly you identify the real…Read more

I really appreciated how you highlighted the connection between French and English. Although students are learning different languages, many of the challenges they face—particularly when trying to grasp and apply grammar rules—are remarkably similar.
