Cynthia, I agree that it is a new language and gives one a sense of accomplishment when it is mastered.

I enjoy using crossword puzzles as reinforcers, also Larry. They are not scary or anxiety producers and can be used as quizzes.

If you listen to the feedback from your students and it is positive, you know you are on the right track, Debbie. Great job!

Kimberly, if you make your learning environment friendly, involving and collaborative, the reluctant learners(the ones who think they don't like activities that look like games) get on board and surprise themselves.

Debbie, shifting your teaching methods to visual ones will appeal to more than half of the general population of learners. Having your students draw their own pictures and share them creates ownership and buy in, which is an internal motivator.

Wendy. I wish ever instructor I met would take your approach. Relating content to real life is essential for students to be able to problem solve once they get on the job.

Kimberly, using a variety of methods to teach, helps to build retention of material. That is our ultimate goal.
