Trying to be in the target language 90% of the time is big challenge for me for a variety of reasons. However, it is a goal that national standards want me to push towards so I keep trying.
I have realized that one way I can stay more in the language is if I have presentations (powerpoint, Prezi, notebook for the SmartBoard) already designed ahead of time. It takes more prep work but then there are more visuals to help get my point across and avoid slipping into English to make it easier on the students. Plus, it helps me keep focused on what I want to say. If I write up my points the day before, I can also look up any words that I might need in the target language.
