What you should see in an IBL language classroom:
students exploring or 'noticing' linguistics features that occur in authentic texts (oral and written)
students analyzing linguistics features that arise from looking at authentic texts or carrying out authentic tasks
teachers planning language instruction that enables students to meet educational objectives from mainstream educational expectations
teachers using teaching strategies that encourage active deduction of meaning
students being provided with opportunities to intellectually engage with language learning
students and teacher learning together through collaboration, negotiation, and authentic communication
