Cutting a language unit you hate teaching is harder than it should be — in this episode of Comprehend THIS!, we name the units we're finally letting go of and how to do it without the guilt. You'll learn how to tell which units actually need to die versus the ones you're just avoiding, and what to put in the gap so you don't blow a hole in your year.
We all have the unit we've taught for nine years and secretly can't stand. This week, Pamela Parks and I get a little spicy and drag ours into the open. Pamela spent years as a professional translator before becoming a world language teacher, which means she's genuinely good at spotting when something is essential versus just familiar — and I am genuinely bad at it, which is why I still teach things I should've cut years ago. We talk through why dead-weight units survive, how to make a clean cut without leaving a hole, and the one test we both use to decide whether an activity is worth its prep time. If you've ever wanted permission to retire a unit and feel fine about it, this comprehensible input conversation is for you.
